Everything from remote reset/power-off to sending an SNMP alert from a sensor event even if the OS is down. Being able to perform these tasks in Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) firmware allows OS-independent management. What many integrators need, however, is a set of utilities and/or sample code to perform these functions within their enterprise management subsystem without a learning curve. The IPMI Management Utilities project provides a series of utilities that perform common IPMI server management functions, such as viewing the firmware log, or configuring the BMC LAN & PEF features. The utilities are designed for end-users, so that they should not require intimate knowledge of how to build IPMI commands. Each of the utilities detects or reasonably assigns default values so that a working configuration can be easily obtained. More detailed options allow changes to these default values. These utilities can be used separately, or merged with a larger server management subsystem. The source license is BSD and ipmiutil compiles under Linux (Makefile) and Windows (buildwin.cmd). There are also corresponding SA Forum HPI standard utilities that run with two different HPI implementations, including OpenHPI. These were the basis of the current openhpi/clients. This project includes both IPMI utilities and a kernel patch for panic handler enhancements. See the project web site for binaries and documentation at http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net. The ipmiutil IPMI utilities below allow the user to access the firmware System Event Log and configure the Platform Event Filter table for the new 'OS Critical Stop' records, as well as other common IPMI system management functions. ipmiutil - a meta-command to invoke all of the below as sub-commands ievents - a standalone utility to interpret IPMI and PET event data isel - show/set the firmware System Event Log records isensor - show Sensor Data Records, sensor readings, and thresholds ireset - cause the BMC to hard reset or power down the system ilan - show and configure the BMC LAN port and Platform Event Filter table to allow BMC LAN alerts from firmware events and OS Critical Stop messages, iserial - show and configure the BMC Serial port for various modes, such as Terminal Mode. ifru - show the FRU chassis, board, and product inventory data, and optionally write a FRU asset tag. ialarms - show and set front panel alarms (LEDs and relays) iwdt - show and set watchdog timer parameters igetevent - receive any IPMI events and display them ihealth - check and report the basic health of the IPMI BMC iconfig - list/save/restore the BMC configuration parameters icmd - send specific IPMI commands to the BMC, mainly for testing and debug purposes. idiscover - discover the available IPMI LAN nodes on a subnet isol - start/stop an IPMI Serial-Over-LAN Console session ipicmg - show/set the IPMI PICMG parameters ifirewall - show/set the IPMI firmware firewall configuration iekanalyzer - run FRU-EKeying analyzer on FRU files ifwum - OEM firmware update manager extensions ihpm - HPM firmware update manager extensions isunoem - Sun OEM functions idelloem - Dell OEM functions itsol - Tyan SOL console start/stop session idcmi - get/set DCMI parameters, if supporting the DCMI spec Other supporting files: checksel = cron script using ipmiutil sel to check the SEL, write new events to the OS system log, and clear the SEL if nearly full. ipmi_port = daemon to bind the RMCP port and sleep to prevent Linux portmap from stealing the RMCP port ipmi_port.sh = init script to reserve the RMCP port from portmap, this also restores saved sensor thresholds, if any. ipmiutil_wdt = init script to restart watchdog timer every 60 sec via cron ipmiutil_asy = init script runs 'ipmiutil getevt -a' for remote shutdown ipmiutil_evt = init script runs 'ipmiutil getevt -s' for monitoring events evt.sh = sample script which can be invoked by ipmiutil_evt ipmi_if.sh = script using dmidecode to determine the IPMI Interface Type bmclanpet.mib = SNMP MIB for BMC LAN Platform Event Traps test/* = scripts and utilities used in testing ipmiutil/panicsel kern/* = kernel patches for panic handling The kernel panic handler patch (kern/bmcpanic.patch) adds additional features to the Linux Panic Handler so that more information can be saved and passed along if a Linux panic condition occurs. bmc_panic features: 1. Write an OS Critical Stop event to firmware System Event Log (SEL) This is in bmcpanic.patch, in OpenIPMI and in Intel IMB. 2. Send SNMP trap via BMC LAN Alerting mechanism Accomplished by configuring the BMC with 'ipmiutil lan'. 3. Turn on the Critical Alarm LED on the Telco Alarms Panel This is in bmcpanic.patch, but not in OpenIPMI due to platform-specific issues with the alarms panel. The kernel portion of this, except item 3, is now included in the OpenIPMI project with the CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT option, and the OpenIPMI driver has merged into Linux kernel 2.4.21 and beyond. The latest version of the OpenIPMI driver can be obtained from http://openipmi.sourceforge.net. This patch is also included in the Intel IMB IPMI driver v28 and greater, for any Linux kernel. This Intel IMB IPMI driver can be obtained from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Search.aspx?Prod_nm=imbsrc or a copy is cached on http://ipmiutil.sf.net also. ------------------------ 1.1 FEATURES ------------------------ These are the key strengths, user features and functions that are supported by ipmiutil. Key Strengths = supports any IPMI server platforms, top-down user-friendly IPMI functions, detection, portability, incorporates fixes and new features quickly Target Market = Administrators, Developers, and OEMs OS Support = Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, and MacOSX (supports Windows natively for local or remote interface) License = BSD Drivers = For Linux: openipmi, imb, valinux ipmikcs, lan, lanplus, landesk, and driverless direct KCS or SSIF For Windows: Intel IMB and Microsoft IPMI drivers For Solaris: bmc For FreeBSD: openipmi, driverless KCS or SSIF For MacOSX: remote only LEDs = Show/set ATCA LEDs, set identify LED, Intel Telco Alarm LEDs health = show overall health and product information discovery = find all IPMI LAN servers on a given subnet fru = Display all FRU and SPD inventory data, also Set some FRU product fields (asset tag, serial number) sensor = Show SDRs and sensor readings, also set sensor thresholds getevent = Receive any IPMI events and decode them, The IPMI event monitoring service is automated in Linux via the ipmiutil_evt init script. reset = IPMI local and remote reset/power-control, IPMI boot device selection. remote IPMI = Perform an OS shutdown/restart request via IPMI LAN, soft-shutdown using ipmiutil getevt -a and invoking ipmiutil reset -o.

See also SNMP PET MIB (bmclanpet.mib). picmg = Support IPMI PICMG functions firewall = Support IPMI firmware firewall functions Through various services, ipmiutil allows automatic management of common IPMI tasks: ipmi_port = Automatically prevent Linux port mapper from stealing the RMCP port 623 used by IPMI LAN firmware. checksel = a cron script to daily write new SEL records to syslog, and clear the SEL if nearly full. ipmiutil_asy = A Linux init script using the ipmiutil getevt -a service to enable receiving soft-shutdown requests from ipmiutil reset -o ipmiutil_wdt = A Linux init script to reset the watchdog timer every 60 sec. ipmiutil_evt = A Linux init script using the ipmiutil getevt -s service to monitor IPMI events, log them, and optionally run a script. ------------------------ 2.0 DEPENDENCIES ------------------------ The IPMI Utilities will run on Linux, Windows Solaris, or FreeBSD, and should be portable to other OSs, if an IPMI driver for that OS can be obtained. The IPMI Utilities and Panic Handler Enhancements currently work with platforms that support the IPMI standard. If the platform does not support IPMI, these changes are inert. The Service Availability Forum has developed a Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) specification that can be used to group IPMI and other system management interfaces together. A set of comparable HPI utilities is included in the ipmiutil project source as hpiutil/*. The Panic Handler kernel enhancements (via kern/bmcpanic.patch) are now included in the Intel IMB driver v28 and later, and in the OpenIPMI driver via the CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT and CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING parameters in the kernel config file (/usr/src/linux/.config) with kernels 2.4.21 or greater. If run locally, the ipmiutil utilities must be run as superuser/Administrator and an IPMI driver must be used. For Linux, these IPMI drivers are supported: . the MontaVista OpenIPMI driver (/dev/ipmi0), . the Intel IMB IPMI driver (/dev/imb, via 'ipmidrvr' or 'ipmi_imb'), . the valinux IPMI Driver (/dev/ipmikcs), . the LANDesk ldipmi daemon, . or direct user-space I/Os to the IPMI KCS or SSIF/SMBus interfaces, if no other driver is detected. For Windows, these drivers are supported: . the Intel IMB IPMI driver (imbdrv.sys) for any Windows Server OS, . the Microsoft IPMI driver (ipmidrv.sys) for Win2003R2 or Win2008. For Solaris, these drivers are supported: . the Sun bmc driver (/dev/bmc) for Solaris 10 and greater For FreeBSD, these drivers are supported: . the FreeBSD 7.x OpenIPMI driver port (kldload ipmi, /dev/ipmi0) . direct user-space I/Os to the IPMI KCS or SSIF/SMBus interfaces Each of the IPMI management utilities will detect which IPMI driver is present, and in Linux, if none are found, it will attempt to use direct KCS or SSIF I/Os to communicate with the IPMI BMC. If using the IPMI LAN interface, neither the local or remote system requires any IPMI driver, but the remote target system must have had IPMI LAN enabled, (e.g. via ipmiutil lan) which is done locally on the target system. Note that the IPMI LAN session password is sent with either MD5 or MD2 encryption by default. See http://openipmi.sourceforge.net for the OpenIPMI driver. See http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Search.aspx?Prod_nm=imbsrc for Intel IMB driver See http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ipmitools/ipmitools/kernel/kcs/patches/2.4.x/ for the valinux driver. See http://www.landesk.com/ or the CD supplied with your server for LANDesk. List of companies that have adopted IPMI (over 198): http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/adopterlist.htm Example IPMI Server Platforms tested with ipmiutil, by BMC manufacturer: Intel RackMount Servers (various, both 32-bit and 64-bit) Intel ATCA (MPCMM0001 and MPBL00xx) Kontron CRMS servers and KTC5520 Dell PowerEdge 18xx, 19xx, 2800 SuperMicro with AOC-IPMI20 (by LMC) SuperMicro with AOC-SIMSO (by Peppercon) Sun (product id 0x4701) Tyan (product id 0x14e9) NSC (product id 0x4311, National SemiConductor) NEC (product id 0x024b) Tatung TS-2552 (product id 0x09f8) AMI IPMI MegaRAC ------------------------ 2.1 CONFIGURATION ------------------------ To find the base address of the IPMI KCS interface, or to find the IPMI SSIF/SMBus slave address, you can use the 'dmidecode' utility provided with most Linux distributions. See also http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode. The ipmi_if.sh script can determine the IPMI Interface Type, and the resulting /usr/share/ipmiutil/ipmi_if.txt file can be edited if needed. The ipmiutil binary uses the same mechanism to detect the IPMI KCS or SSIF interface parameters by default if no driver is loaded. For some IPMI systems, a minimum firmware version may be needed to support the BMC LAN/PEF feature. On an Intel TSRLT2 system, for instance, these are the minimum levels: BMC Firmware ver 54 or greater Systems with IPMI versions prior to 1.5 do not support BMC LAN or PEF features By default, the ipmiutil IPMI utilities rpm does not set the panic timeout. If a different kernel panic timeout is desired, add the kernel parameter "panic=10" in grub.conf/lilo.conf, or do "echo 10 >/proc/sys/kernel/panic" in one of the /etc/init.d scripts to set it to 10 seconds, for instance. The ipmiutil lan (ilan) utility can be used to configure the BMC LAN Alerting while the OS is running. It has additional PEF rules and LAN parameter detection logic beyond what most other utilities provide. The ipmiutil serial (iserial) utility is intended to configure the EMP serial port on the server for shared access between BMC/IPMI functions and BIOS Console Redirection. Some older platforms only support only Basic Mode for BMC/IPMI functions. Basic Mode requires a remote client application to utilize it (Windows ISC Console/DPC applet, or a special modified Linux telnet). There are many platforms which implement Terminal Mode via IPMI v1.5 Appendix E to make remote management with character commands available on the serial port without a special remote client application. Notes about BMC Users: Most IPMI 1.5 systems support at least 3 users, numbered 1,2,3, where user 1 is the default and has a null username. Users 2 and 3 are alternate users whose usernames can be set. For ipmiutil, these are currently implemented by default as follows: user 1: used by default for BMC LAN and Serial (ilan & iserial) user 2: set for BMC LAN if ipmiutil lan -u is specified user 3: set for BMC Serial/EMP if ipmiutil serial -u is specified Also note that the -q option can be used to set different users by number. Note that the checksel script will be copied to /etc/cron.daily when the Linux ipmiutil rpm is installed, so that ipmiutil sel will automatically save SEL records to syslog and clear the SEL if it gets nearly full. If you do not want this to happen automatically, remove the checksel script from the /etc/cron.daily directory. In order for the ipmiutil sel -w function to work cleanly on a Windows system, the showselmsg.dll should be copied to %SystemRoot%\system32, and the showsel.reg should be run to set up the corresponding EventLog service registry values. See install.cmd to perform these functions. The BSD License in the COPYING file applies to all source files herein, except for * util/md5.c (Aladdin unrestricted license, compatible with BSD) * util/md2.h (GPL) * util/ipmi_ioctls.h (GPL) While the BSD License allows code reuse in both open and non-open applications, the md2.h and ipmi_ioctls.h files would have to be removed if used in a non-open application. The default ipmiutil build omits GPL code. There is a ALLOW_GPL compile flag for this that is disabled by default, but can be enabled for open-source by running "./configure --enable-gpl".

This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. Note that a LAN user must have Administrative privileges to read or write the alarm LEDs. Note that this utility may not be the only logic setting alarm states. The BMC firmware, system management software, or cluster fault manager may also want to set alarm states. Intel provides a Telco Alarms Man- ager API which presents a consolidated interface for all alarm manage- ment applications. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -r Read-only. Show the alarms status, but do not set any states. This is also the default mode if no parameters are specified. -iN Sets the Chassis Identify feature, which can be an LED or some other alarm. If N=0, turn off the Chassis ID, otherwise turn the ID on for N seconds. N=255 will turn on the ID indefi- nitely, if it is IPMI 2.0. -aN Sets Disk A Fault LED. If N=0, turn it off. If N=1, turn it on. Used only for TIGPT1U platform. -bN Sets Disk B Fault LED. If N=0, turn it off. If N=1, turn it on. Used only for TIGPT1U platform. -dXN Sets Disk X Fault LED, where X=0-6. If N=0, turn it off. If N=1, turn it on. Used only for NSC2U platform. -cN Sets the Critical Alarm. If N=0, turn it off. If N=1, turn it on. -mN Sets the Major Alarm. If N=0, turn it off. If N=1, turn it on. -nN Sets the Minor Alarm. If N=0, turn it off. If N=1, turn it on. -pN Sets the Power Alarm. If N=0, turn it off. If N=1, turn it on. Note that the Power LED is also wired to the System Fault LED in the back of the system, so this state may be off for Power, but the LED could be lit for a System Fault reason instead. Refer to the system Technical Product Specification for System Faults. -o Sets all alarms off, including the Chassis ID. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given.

SYNOPSIS ipmiutil cmd [-qsx -NUPREFJTVY] bus rsSa netFn/lun cmd [data bytes] DESCRIPTION This ipmiutil cmd tool sends specific IPMI commands to the firmware. The commands are composed as hex values on the command line. This tool was written to allow in-band use to match the DOS CMDTOOL.EXE or IPMI- TOOL.EXE program which is distributed with many Intel servers. Certain scripts or pre-written commands may have been supplied for the DOS tool that can now be used while the system is running Linux or Windows. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. This tool should only be used if you are familiar with the IPMI 1.5 specification, or you have specific pre-written commands to send. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -q Quiet mode. Show only minimal header information. -s Skips the GetDeviceID command -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P. PARAMETERS The following parameters are used by icmd. Each is represented as a two-digit hex byte. The parameters have no default values. bus This byte contains the bus number for this command, usually 00. rsSa This is the resource slave address, usually 0x20 for the BMC. netFn/lun This byte combines the net Function and Lun. The 2 low-order bits are the Lun and the 6 high-order bits are the net Function. This representation is consistent with the DOS CMDTOOL/IPMITOOL. cmd This byte contains the IPMI command.

This combines the functionality of ipmiutil lan (ilan) and ipmiutil serial (iserial). Note that some of the LAN parameters cannot be restored remotely over the IPMI LAN, changing the configuration that is in use. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -l Lists BMC configuration parameters with a keyword, index, and its hex values. This is the default behavior if no options are specified. -r config_file Restores BMC configuration from config_file, which was produced with -s below. -s config_file Saves BMC configuration to config_file. This file could be edited, in certain cases, such as to vary the BMC IP address (LanParam 3), or to use the UserPassword records. Note that lines beginning with ’#’ are comments and are ignored. For editing UserPassword records, convert your text value to hex format; for example "echo ’mypassword’ |od -t x1", and leave off the trailing 0a. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -p password_to_set This specifies the firmware password to set for BMC LAN access for all users during the restore. If not specified, the pass- word configuration will not be changed, unless a valid UserPass- word record is present in the file to be restored. Note that user passwords are write-only via standard IPMI commands. -L lan_ch_num This specifies the IPMI LAN channel number used for BMC LAN. This varies by platform, and can be found in the platform tech- nical specifications. By default, bmcconfig scans all IPMI channels to find a LAN channel for BMC LAN. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.

This utility uses IPMI LAN, so no IPMI drivers are needed. There are three methods that can be used: -a = broadcast RMCP ping method (default) -g = GetChannelAuthCap command method else = specific RMCP ping method A beginning IP address can be specified with -b for broadcast and spe- cific methods. An ending IP can be specified for non-broadcast methods. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -a All nodes, use the broadcast ping method. This is the default if no options are specified. This will detect the first enabled ethernet interface, and defaults to the broadcast address x.x.x.255 (where x.x.x.x is IP address) unless -b is used to specify otherwise. -b Beginning IP address, required, unless using broadcast with defaults. This could be a specific IP address, or a broadcast address, ending in 255, if the broadcast method (-a) is used. -e Endign IP address of the range. Not used for broadcast method. If this is not specified, a range of one IP address matching the beginning IP is assumed. -g Use the GetChannelAuthenticationCapabilities command method over IPMI LAN instead of the RMCP ping. Not compatible with broad- cast. This may be useful if the vendor BMC does not support RMCP ping for some reason. -i eth0 The interface name to use when sending the probes. The default is to detect the first enabled ethernet interface (e.g. eth0). -m shows MAC address. Uses the broadcast ping method, but uses a raw socket so that the MAC address can be displayed. This detects the first enabled ethernet interface, and defaults to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255 like -a. Using -m with raw sockets requires root privilege. -r N Repeat the ping N times to each node. Default is to send 1 ping per node. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. EXAMPLES idiscover -a -b 192.168.1.255 Sends a broadcast RMCP ping to discover IPMI LAN nodes on the specified subnet. idiscover -b 192.168.1.100 -e 192.168.1.254 Sends RMCP pings to a range of IP addresses. idiscover -g -b 192.168.1.100 -e 192.168.1.254 Sends GetChannelAuthCap commands to a range of IP addresses.

This utility uses the same interpretation logic as is used by "ipmiutil sel" (showsel) and "ipmiutil getevt" (getevents). The data bytes in the input are always assumed to be in hex form. This could be useful if a utility other than "ipmiutil sel" were used to obtain IPMI SEL records or events and interpretation is needed. This would also be needed at an enterprise management station to inter- pret the PET SNMP trap hex data into human-readable form, see option -p. OPTIONS -b bin_file Interpret a file containing raw binary/hex SEL data dumped in binary form, such as that produced by "ipmitool sel writeraw bin_file". Each set of 16 bytes in the file will be interpreted as an IPMI event. (same as -h) -f sel_file Interpret a file containing raw ascii text SEL data captured with ipmiutil sel -r, or some other similar utility. Each line in the file should be in this form, with no leading spaces: 04 00 02 76 a9 4a 47 20 00 04 10 09 6f 42 0f ff If this option is not specified, the default is to use the 16 bytes taken from the command-line arguments. (same as -r) -h bin_file Interpret a file containing raw binary/hex SEL data dumped in binary form, such as that produced by "ipmitool sel writeraw bin_file". Each set of 16 bytes in the file will be interpreted as an IPMI event. (same as -b) -n This option generates a New IPMI platform event, using 9 bytes of input. The input bytes are the same as the last 9 bytes of an IPMI event. -p Decode as PET event bytes, where the input is 34 PET hex data bytes, skipping the first 8 of the 47-byte PET data. The default without -p assumes that the input is a 16-byte IPMI event. -r sel_file Interpret a file containing raw ascii text SEL data captured with ipmiutil sel -r, or some other similar utility. (same as -f) -s sensor_file Sensor file with the output of "ipmiutil sensor", used to get the PET sensor_type from the sensor_num. The default is /usr/share/ipmiutil/sensor_out.txt as generated during the ipmiutil package installation. This is only needed with PET interpretation (-p). -x show eXtra debug messages SEE ALSO ipmiutil(8) ialarms(8) iconfig(8) icmd(8) idiscover(8) ifru(8) igetevent(8) ihealth(8) ilan(8) ireset(8) isel(8) isensor(8) iserial(8) isol(8) iwdt(8) WARNINGS See http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/ for the latest version of ipmiutil and any bug fix list. -------------------------------------- 3.7 IFRU (ipmiutil fru) IFRU(8) IFRU(8) NAME ipmiutil_fru - show Field Replacable Unit configuration data SYNOPSIS ipmiutil fru [-abcdeikmsvx -N node -U user -P/-R pswd -EFJTVY] DESCRIPTION ipmiutil fru is a program that uses IPMI commands to show FRU configu- ration data and optionally write an asset tag string into the FRU data. Setting the asset tag is a function that can be used to uniquely iden- tify the unit, even if the storage devices are removed or changed. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -a asset_string This option specifies an asset tag string to be written to the baseboard FRU Product area. The asset tag length is limited by the existing FRU Product data, but is usually allowed up to 16 characters. The default is to not modify this FRU field. -b Only show the Baseboard FRU data. The default behavior is to also scan for any SDR FRU data or DIMM SPD data referenced by the SDRs. -c Show FRU output in a canonical format, with a default delimiter of '|'. -d file Dump binary FRU data to the specified file. -e Show Every FRU output in a bladed chassis, including those under child MCs. The default is to show FRUs referred to by just the target MC. -i 00 This option specifies a specific FRU ID to show. The input value should be in hex (0b, 1a, etc.), as shown from the sensor SDR output. By default, all FRU IDs that are specified in the FRU locator SDRs are shown. -k These Kontron OEM functions set FRU data based on existing data stored elsewhere. The setsn option sets the FRU Board and Prod- uct serial number, and the setmfgdate option sets the FRU Board Mfg DateTime. The nextboot option specifies the boot device for the next boot: BIOS, FDD, HDD, CDROM, or network. These options are only supported on Kontron ATCA boards which have this func- tionality. -m 002000 Show FRU for a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). This could be used for PICMG or ATCA blade systems. The trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if ’s’, or IPMB addressing if ’i’ or not present. -s serial_num This option specifies a serial number string to be written to the baseboard FRU Product area. The serial number can be any string up to 16 characters. The default is to not modify this FRU field. -v prod_ver This option specifies a product version number string to be written to the baseboard FRU Product area. The version number can be any string up to 16 characters. The default is to not modify this FRU field. -x Causes eXtra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.

These events are also sent to the IPMI System Event Log (SEL). This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. Some server management functions want to trigger custom actions or alerts when IPMI hardware-related events occur, but do not want to track all events, just newly occurring events. This utility waits a specified timeout period for any events, and returns interpreted output for each event. It is designed as a scriptable command-line utility, but if the timeout is infinite (-t 0), then this code could be used for a sample service as well. There are several methods to do this which are implemented here. The SEL method: This method polls the SEL once a second, keeps track of the last SEL event read, and only new events are processed. This ensures that in a series of rapid events, all events are received in order, however, some transition-to-OK events may not be configured to write to the SEL on certain platforms. This method is used if getevent -s is specified. This is the only method supported over IPMI LAN, i.e. with -N. The ReadEventMessageBuffer method: This uses an IPMI Message Buffer in the BMC firmware to read each new event. This receives any event, but if two events occur nearly simul- taneously, only the most recent of the two will be returned with this method. An example of simultaneous events might be, if a fan stops/fails, both the non-critical and critical fan threshold events would occur at that time. This is the default method for getevent. The OpenIPMI custom method: Different IPMI drivers may have varying behavior. For instance, the OpenIPMI driver uses the IPMI GetMessage commands internally and does not allow client programs to use those commands. It has its own custom mechanism, see getevent_mv(). This method is used if the OpenIPMI driver is detected, and no other method is specified. The Async Event method: This only gets certain Asynchronous requests from the BMC to an SMS OS service, like a remote OS shutdown, and get_software_id. This method is disabled by default and only turned on if the getevent -a option is specified. This method is only supported via the Intel IMB and OpenIPMI driver interfaces. There is an init script provided with ipmiutil to automate the task of starting this async event daemon. # chkconfig --add ipmiutil_asy (skip this if no chkconfig) # /etc/init.d/ipmiutil_asy start This listens for IPMI LAN requests for soft-shutdown, and logs the out- put to /var/log/ipmiutil_asy.log OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -a Use the Async request method, which receives SMS OS requests from the BMC using the IMB or OpenIPMI driver interface. This services remote SMS bridge agent requests, like remote OS shut- down and get software_id. -b Run in Background as a daemon. If this option is specified, normal output will be redirected to /var/log/ipmiu- til_getevt.log. The default is to run in foreground. -c Show output in a canonical format, with a delimiter of '|'. -e N Wait for a specific event sensor type N. The parameter can be in hex (0x23) or decimal (35). The default is 0xFF which means wait for any event. -r F Run script file F when an event occurs. The filename can include a full path. The script will be passed the event description as a parameter. A sample evt.sh script is included with the ipmiutil package. -o Only run one pass to wait for the first event. Default is to loop for multiple events for the timeout period. -s Use the SEL method to get events. This polls the SEL once a second for new events. The last SEL record read is saved in /usr/share/ipmiutil/evt.idx. Otherwise, the default is to use the ReadEventMessageBuffer method to get new events. -t N Set the timeout period to N seconds. Default is 120 seconds. A timeout of 0 means an infinite period. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.

This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -c Show canonical, delimited output. -f Show the FRUSDR version also. -g Show the IPMI GUID of this system. The GUID is a read-only unique identifier. -h Check the health of the HotSwap Controller also. -l Show the IPMI LAN channel statistics also. -m 002000 Target a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). This could be used for PICMG or ATCA blade systems. The trailing charac- ter, if present, indicates SMI addressing if ’s’, or IPMB addressing if ’i’ or not present. -n string Set the System Name to this string in the IPMI System Informa- tion. -o string Set the Primary Operating System to this string in the IPMI Sys- tem Information. -p 1 Set the chassis Power restore policy, governing the desired behavior when power was lost and is restored. Values: 0 = stay off, 1 = last state, 2 = always on. -q string Set the Secondary Operating System to this string in the IPMI System Information. -s Show the IPMI Session information also. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system.

The IP address and MAC address of the local system, the default gateway, and the alert destination can be defaulted to those specified in Linux, or can be overridden by user parameters. It also creates a new Platform Event Filter table entry for an OS Critical Stop (0x20) SEL firmware log event, so that it will be enabled to send a BMC LAN Alert. This utility will skip the PEF records if the system does not support IPMI 1.5 or greater. This util- ity can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user- space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. Note that without options, ipmiutil lan behaves as if option -r were used. To configure IPMI LAN & PEF, use option -e. -a alertnum Specify which PEF alert number is to be used. Default is 1. This would only be used if extra PEF alert destinations had been set. -b authmask Specify a certain authtype mask in hex to use when configuring this channel. The default mask is 0x16, so to include authtype None (bit 0), it would require entering ’-b 17’. -c Show Canonical output, which shows only interpreted text and streamlines the parameters shown, using a common delimiter. -d This option disables the IPMI LAN and PEF parameters, so as not to allow BMC LAN connections or alerts. This option also sets the IP address to zeros. -e This option enables the BMC LAN configuration and PEF event alerts. The utility will attempt to obtain the default BMC LAN parameters from the OS automatically, or they can be specified with command options below. -f Set the ARP control parameter to 1 = gratuituous ARPs, 2 = ARP responses, or 3 = both grat ARP and ARP responses. The default is 1. -g This specifies the secondary gateway IP address to use for the BMC LAN. The default is to omit this parameter and only use the default gateway. See also -G. -h Set the IPMI VLAN ID to this value. Setting to a value >=4096 disables the VLAN ID. The default behavior is not to set this parameter. -i ethif By default, the eth0 interface is used to find IP and MAC addresses. Sometimes, however, the first ethernet port on the baseboard may be represented by Linux as eth1 or eth2 instead. If so, use this option to indicate the correct ethernet inter- face to use. By default, ipmiutil lan will scan up to 32 eth interfaces for the onboard one that BMC LAN uses. -j This sets a custom PEF rule as the last PEF entry. The input is a series of 10 hex bytes, forming the PEF entry. For example, this sample PEF entry would perform a power down action if the Baseboard Temp reached its threshold. "ipmiutil lan -e -j020110ffff013001950a" -k This causes ipmiutil lan to also insert two rules to send alerts for transition-to-OK events, including Power Redundancy OK and Temperature OK. -l This option enables the BMC LAN configuration, but not PEF events. The utility will attempt to obtain the default BMC LAN parameters from the OS automatically, or they can be specified with command options below. -n num By default, the new PEF entry for OS Critical Stop is inserted at offset 12 into the table. This can be changed to insert it at an offset > 12 if another entry already exists at offset 12. -o Disable Only SOL. This could be used after the IPMI LAN was configured, to disable Serial-Over-LAN console access but still allow other IPMI LAN access. -p password_to_set This specifies the firmware password to set for BMC LAN access. If not specified, the user and password configuration will not be changed. -q Specify an alternate user number for the LAN username from the -u option. This is normally user number 2, 3, or 4, where 2 is the default. The maximum number of users is 15. Same as -# below. -# Specify an alternate user number for the LAN username from the -u option. Same as -q above. -r This option just reads the configuration without writing any BMC LAN parameters or writing any new entries to the PEF table. -s This option will also display some of the Serial parameters. -t Test if the BMC LAN has already been configured. Returns 0 if so. -u username_to_set This specifies the firmware username to set for BMC LAN access. If a username is specified, user 3 will be set. If not speci- fied, the default user 1 will be used. -v priv Set a specific access priVilege for this user, where priv can be: 1=Callback, 2=User, 3=Operator, 4=Admin, 5=OEM, 15=NoAccess The default if not specified or specified in error, is to use 4=Admin. -w N Set the Gratuitous ARP Interval to N seconds. This has no effect if the firmware does not support Grat-ARP, as shown in Lan Param 10. If not set, the interval remains at the firmware default. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -y N Set the OEM LAN Failover parameter to N. Values for N with Intel Romley/S2600 baseboards: 1 = enable, 0 = disable. Val- ues for N with SuperMicro baseboards: 2 = failover, 1 = lan1 , 0 = dedicated. -z Also show the IPMI LAN Statistics -A alert_ip_addr This specifies the SNMP Alert Destination IP address to use for the BMC LAN. By default, this utility will attempt to obtain this from the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file, via the trapsink param- eter. The alert destination will see the BMC LAN traps with the enterprises.3183.1.1 OID. If no alert IP address is specified in either snmpd.conf or this parameter, or if that IP address does not respond, the other SNMP parameters for BMC LAN will be skipped. -B baud_sol This specifies the Baud rate for SerialOverLan. The possible values are: 9600, 19.2k, 38.4k, 57.6k, and 115.2k. The default is 19.2k. -C snmp_community This specifies the SNMP Community name to use for BMC LAN Alerts. The default community string is "public". This parame- ter is ignored if there is no Alert IP address. -D This causes the local IP address to be determined by DHCP instead of a static IP address. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -G gwy_ip_addr This specifies the default gateway IP address to use for the BMC LAN. The default is to automatically obtain this from the Linux route table. -H gwy_mac_addr This specifies the default gateway MAC address to use for the BMC LAN. The format can be either 11:22:33:44:55:66 or 11-22-33-44-55-66. The default is to try to automatically obtain this by sending an arp request from an OS LAN eth inter- face: the default one, or as specified by -i. -K hostname This specifies the IPMI hostname to set, for Kontron servers only. This enables the firmware to properly map the IP address to a hostname, especially with the web interface. The default is not to set this parameter, and use IP address only. -I ip_addr This specifies the local IP address to use for the BMC LAN on eth0. The default is to automatically obtain this from the Linux ifconfig. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -L lan_ch_num This specifies the IPMI LAN channel number used for BMC LAN. This varies by platform, and can be found in the platform tech- nical specifications. For instance, Intel platforms usually use channels 1 & 2 for onboard NICs, and channel 3 for optional RMM NICs. By default, ipmiutil lan scans all IPMI channels to find the first LAN channel for BMC LAN. To just list all IPMI chan- nels to see what is available, use the string ’list’ instead of a LAN channel number. This will list the channels and exit. -M mac_addr This specifies the local MAC address to use for the BMC LAN on eth0. The format can be either 11:22:33:44:55:66 or 11-22-33-44-55-66. The default is to automatically obtain this from the Linux ifconfig. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. Same as -R below. -Q Set the IPMI VLAN Priority. The default priority is 0. -R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. Same as -P above. -S subnet This specifies the local subnet mask to use for the BMC LAN on eth0. The default is to automatically obtain this from the Linux ifconfig. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -X alert_mac_addr This specifies the SNMP Alert Destinations’s MAC address to use for the BMC LAN. The format can be either 11:22:33:44:55:66 or 11-22-33-44-55-66. The default is to attempt to obtain this from the Linux arp cache. This parameter is ignored if there is no Alert IP address. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.

This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -c Power Cycle the system chassis -d Power Down the system chassis -n Send NMI to the system -u Power Up the system chassis -r Hard Reset the system chassis -D Do a soft shutdown of the OS, and then power down. Note that remote soft shutdown (-D -N) for Intel S5000 baseboard requires ipmiutil getevt -a running on the target server. -o Do a soft shutdown of the OS, and then reset. Note that remote soft shutdown (-o -N) for Intel S5000 baseboard requires ipmiu- til getevt -a running on the target server. -k Do a cold reset to restart the BMC firmware. -m 002000s Perform these function for a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). The trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if ’s’, or IPMB addressing if ’i’ or not present. -b Do a hard reset and reboot to the BIOS Setup menu, for this reboot only. -e Do a hard reset to EFI, if IPMI EFI boot is enabled, for this reboot only. -f Do a hard reset to Floppy/Removable, for this reboot only. -h Do a hard reset to a Hard Disk, for this reboot only. -i Set the boot Initiator mailbox string, usually for PXE use. The string must be less than 78 characters. -j Set the IANA number used for the boot Initiator mailbox string. -p Do a hard reset and network boot to PXE server, for this reboot only. -s Do a hard reset and reboot to the Service/Diagnostic Partition, for this reboot only. Reboots to the default if no service par- tition is configured. -v Do a hard reset to DVD/CDROM Media, for this reboot only. -w Wait for BMC ready after a reset before exiting the utility. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -y Yes, try to persist any boot options used [-befhprsv]. This requires the IPMI firmware to ask the BIOS to change boot order settings, so it may not be supported by all BMC firmware ven- dors. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40.

IPMI commands are issued to read each record, and, if specified, incre- mentally write records that have not previously been read into the Linux syslog (/var/log/messages). This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -a string Add a SEL record with a string of up to 13 characters. Longer strings will be truncated. Note that this should be used spar- ingly, but would be useful for changes made to the hardware or firmware environment, like "Fan replaced" or "flash FW2.1". -b bin_file Interpret a file containing raw binary/hex SEL data dumped in binary form, such as that produced by "ipmitool sel writeraw bin_file". Each set of 16 bytes in the file will be interpreted as an IPMI event. -c Show output in a canonical format, with a default delimiter of '|'. (same as -n). -d Deletes/Clears the SEL of all records. If the SEL becomes full (free space = 0), it no longer accepts new records, so the SEL should be cleared periodically (use checksel cron script). -e Show Extended sensor descriptions for events if run locally. This option will attempt to get the full sensor description from /var/lib/ipmiutil/sensor_out.txt, and also use its SDR to decode any raw threshold values in the event, if present. -f sel_file Interpret a file containing raw ascii text SEL data captured with ipmiutil sel -r, or some other similar utility. Each line in the file should be in this form, with no leading spaces: 04 00 02 76 a9 4a 47 20 00 04 10 09 6f 42 0f ff Lines not in this format will be ignored. -l N Show last N SEL records, in reverse order (newest first). For some BMC implementations, this may not show all N records speci- fied. -n Show output in a nominal/canonical format, with a default delim- iter of '|'. (same as -c). -r Show the 16 raw hex bytes for each SEL entry. The default is to display interpreted entries, and include relevant hex event bytes. -p By default, all SEL records are displayed. This option causes only the Panic events with sensor_type = 0x20 (OS Critical Stop) to be displayed. -s N Show only SEL events with severity N or greater. Severity 0=INF, 1=MIN, 2=MAJ, 3=CRT. The default is to show all SEL events. -u Show the SEL time as UTC and also get the SEL Time UTC offset if that command is supported. The default is to convert the SEL Time to local time. -v Only show the version information. This shows: the ipmiutil sel utility version, the BMC version, the IPMI version, the SEL version, and the amount of free space in the SEL. -w This option writes SEL records to the Linux syslog (/var/log/messages) or Windows Application Log. It only writes SEL records that have timestamps newer than the last record written to syslog. It saves the last timestamp in an index file named /usr/share/ipmiutil/sel.idx (.\sel.idx in Windows). -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password.

This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. Note that this utility by default only displays Sensor Data Records reported by from the Baseboard Management Controller. To show sensors for other controllers, see options -b and -m below. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -a snum ReArms the sensor number for events -b Shows SDRs for Bladed (PICMG or ATCA) systems by traversing the child MCs (same as -e). -c Show sensor list in a simpler/Canonical format without uninter- preted binary values. Only the user-friendly interpreted sensor information is shown. (same as -s). -d Dump the SDRs to a specified binary file. This file can be used with -j to jumpstart getting the sensor readings. -e Show Every SDR in a bladed system by traversing the child MCs (same as -b). -f Restore the SDRs from the specified binary File. This is nor- mally only done with the initial factory provisioning. -g sens_type Shows only those SDRs matching the given sensor type group. The sens_type string can be "fan", "temp", "voltage", or any string or substring matching those in the IPMI 2.0 Table 42-3 for Sen- sor Types. Multiple types can be listed, separated by a comma (,) but no spaces. -h tval Highest threshold value to set for the specified sensor. This tval can be in decimal, or of the form 0x1a, to match the raw reading value shown by sensor following the " = ". The value passed is set as the non-critical threshold value, with the more critical ones set by the utility as incrementally lower. This simplifies the interface and ensures that the threshold values do not get out of order. This requires specifying the sensor number via -n. -i ID Show or set only the sensor Index corresponding to ID, where ID is the hex ID of the SDR as shown in the sensor output under "_ID_". The ID argument can be one hex number (e.g. 0x0e or 0e), or a range of hex numbers (e.g. 0e-1a or 1a,2a or 0x0e-0x2a). This is useful to repeatedly view just a few sensor readings for changes, or to set just one sensor quickly without reading all of the SDRs. -j file Jump-start by caching the SDRs from a file. This uses an SDR binary file to read the SDRs, so that only the sensor readings need to be read from the firmware. This avoids getting the SDR reservation and reading each SDR, so it makes getting the sensor readings more efficient. The SDR binary file can be created using the -d option to dump the SDRs to a file, or -j will try to create the file if not there. -k K When looping with -L, wait K seconds between loops. Default is 1 second. -l tval Lowest threshold value to set for the specified sensor. This tval can be in decimal, or of the form 0x1a, to match the raw reading value shown by sensor following the " = ". The value passed is set as the non-critical threshold value, with the more critical ones set by the utility as incrementally higher. This simplifies the interface and ensures that the threshold values do not get out of order. This requires specifying the sensor number via -n. -m 002000s Show SDRs for a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). This could be used for PICMG or ATCA blade systems. The trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if ’s’, or IPMB addressing if ’i’ or not present. -n snum Number of the sensor to set. This num can be in decimal, or of the form 0x1a, to match the value shown by sensor following the "snum" tag. This is required if setting hi/lo thresholds via -h/-l. -o Output the memory DIMM information from SMBIOS, including size. Not available if using IPMI LAN via -N. Sample output: Memory Device (0,0): DIMM_A1 : size=2048MB Memory Device (0,1): DIMM_A2 : not present -p Persist the threshold being set (as specified via -l or -h). This writes a "sensor -i" script line to the file /usr/share/ipmiutil/thresholds.sh, which can then be executed at each reboot by starting the /etc/init.d/ipmi_port service for the desired runlevels. For Windows, the filename is thresh- olds.cmd. -q Show threshold values in d:d:d format. Thresholds are shown for each sensor in short format with ’:’ delimiters, which is useful as an example for setting thresholds with ’-u’. -r Show Raw SDR bytes also. -s Show sensor list in a simpler/canonical format without uninter- preted binary values. Only the user-friendly interpreted sensor information is shown. (same as -c). -t Show any Thresholds for each sensor also, in text format. -u Set unique threshold values. The values are specified in a string of threshold values. It can be in raw hex characters or in float values. All 6 possible thresholds must be specified, but only the ones that are valid for this sensor will be applied. These values are validated for ordering. For example: -u 6:5:4:60:65:69 (float) or -u 0x0605043c4145 (raw hex) would mean 0x06=noncrit_lo, 0x05=crit_lo, 0x04=nonrec_lo, 0x3c=noncrit_hi, 0x41=crit_hi, 0x45=nonrec_hi. -v Show Verbose output, including volatile thresholds, SDR thresh- olds, max/min, hysteresis, and BMC_TAM decoding. -w Wrap the threshold data onto the same line as the sensor. This may be convenient for scripting. -x Causes eXtra debug messages to be displayed. -L n Loop n times every K seconds. Default is one loop and K defaults to 1 second. See option -k to change K seconds if desired. This is useful along with -i or -g to read some sensors as they change. Using -j with this option makes run it quicker. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.

SYNOPSIS ipmiutil serial [-bcdeflq#rsvxB -m0 -m1 -n ser_chan -u user -p passwd -NUPREFJTVY] DESCRIPTION ipmiutil serial is a program that uses an IPMI driver to send IPMI com- mands which configure a system to enable EMP/serial Terminal Mode man- agement functions within the firmware, so that an administrator can use command-line character commands via the serial port to power cycle the system and perform other functions, even if the system is not running an OS. This level of access needs to be protected by a username/pass- word login, which can be specified with this utility. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -b Set up and enable the Serial Port EMP parameters for Basic Mode management functions. This does not set a username or password. -c Configure and enable the Serial Port EMP parameters for Terminal Mode management functions, shared with BIOS Console Redirection. Setting a new username and password for serial access via -u and -p is recommended for security. -d Disable the serial port access for IPMI commands. The serial port is then only available for BIOS console and OS functions. A side-effect of this option is that it sets the default user (1) back to admin access. -e Enable EMP Terminal Mode without shared BIOS console. The serial port is then only available for EMP Terminal Mode func- tions. -f Specifies the Flow Control for the Serial EMP. 0 means no flow control, and 1 means RTS/CTS flow control (default). This must match the BIOS Serial Console setting. -l Show LAN Parameters. This option reads and displays the LAN Parameter configuration also. -m0 Switch the Serial Port MUX to Baseboard/BIOS Console operation. Set no other configuration parameters. -m1 Switch the Serial Port MUX to Terminal Mode management. Set no other configuration parameters. -n ser_chan Sets the IPMI channel number to use for the EMP serial channel (often 4). Note that the IPMI channels for LAN, Serial, etc. are numbered differently on each platform type. The default is to detect the first available IPMI serial channel. -# Same as -q below. -q Specify an alternate user number for the EMP Username from the -u option. This is normally user number 2, 3, or 4, where 3 is the default. The maximum number of users is 15. -r Read Only. This option just reads the Serial Parameter configu- ration without writing any values. -s Set up and enable the Serial Port EMP parameters for Shared operation between Basic Mode management functions and Baseboard (BIOS) Remote Console. This option switches the Serial Port MUX to Baseboard Console operation. -t Configure and enable the Serial Port EMP parameters for Terminal Mode management functions, shared with BIOS Console Redirection. Same as -c, but easier to remember. -u username This specifies a username for the EMP Terminal Mode login. It can be any string, up to 15 characters. If -u is not used, the default user 1 (null) will be assumed. The username, if speci- fied, will be set for user 3, unless option -q is specified. -p password This specifies a password for the EMP Terminal Mode login. It can be any string, up to 15 characters. A null password is used if none is specified. This password applies to user 3 if -u is used, to user 1 otherwise. -v priv Set a specific access priVilege for this user, where priv can be: 1=Callback, 2=User, 3=Operator, 4=Admin, 5=OEM, 15=NoAccess The default if not specified or specified in error, is to use 4=Admin. -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -B Set the Baud rate of the serial port to one of the following: 9600, 19,2K, 38.4K, 57.6K, or 115.2K. The default is 19.2K bps. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P. EXAMPLES ipmiutil serial -t (or -c) Enables Terminal Mode management functions, shared with BIOS Serial Console redirection. The user can switch between serial console operations and IPMI Terminal Mode commands by typing ESC ’)’ and ESC ’Q’. ipmiutil serial -s Enables Basic Mode management functions shared with BIOS Serial Console redirection. The user can switch between serial console operations and IPMI Basic Mode management programs on the same serial port. ipmiutil serial -d Disables the serial port management functions. This would be used if only the BIOS Serial Console were used and no BMC serial management functions.

DEPENDENCIES The ipmiutil serial utility is intended to configure the EMP serial port on the server for shared access between BMC/IPMI functions and BIOS Console Redirection. Some platforms only support only Basic Mode for BMC/IPMI functions. Basic Mode requires a remote client applica- tion to utilize it (Windows ISC Console/DPC, or a special modified Linux telnet). There are some platforms which implement Terminal Mode via IPMI v1.5 Appendix E to make remote management with character com- mands available on the serial port without a special remote client application. For example, Intel TSRLT2 systems would use "ipmiutil serial -s" for Basic Mode shared functions, but Intel TIGPR2U systems could use "ipmiutil serial -c" to configure Terminal Mode functions. On your system, run "ipmiutil serial -r" to check whether Serial Param(29): "Terminal Mode Config" is supported. If not, configure Basic Mode via "ipmiutil serial -s". PLATFORM SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES First, enter BIOS Setup for Serial Console Redirection parameters: (these vary by platform) Console Redirection = Serial Port B ACPI Redirection = Disabled Baud Rate = 115.2K Flow Control = CTS/RTS Terminal Type = VT100 Legacy Redirection = Enabled Note that the Baud Rate can vary, but it must match in all locations where it is used (BIOS, IPMI, and Linux). For some non-Intel platforms, the serial console would be COM1 instead of COM2, but should be enabled in BIOS. From Linux, run "ipmiutil serial -c" for Terminal Mode shared configu- ration. Or, on older Intel TSRLT2 platforms: From Linux, run "ipmiutil serial -s" for Basic Mode Shared configuration. LINUX CONFIGURATION FOR SERIAL CONSOLE If using lilo, in /etc/lilo.conf, add append="console=ttyS1,19200n8 console=tty0" (and comment out the "message=" line because it includes graphics) Note that the append line can be placed in the global section and removed from each kernel section if there are no other differences. Or, if using grub, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf as follows: #Omit the splashimage or gfxmenu # splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz #The serial and terminal lines are not usually needed # serial --unit=1 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 # terminal --timeout=10 serial console #Add the console=ttyS* parameter to the kernel line kernel (hd0,0) /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyS1,19200n8 Add this line to /etc/initab, if ttyS1 is not already there: co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS1 19200 vt100 Add this line to /etc/securetty, if ttyS1 is not already there: ttyS1 SEE ALSO ipmiutil(8) ialarms(8) iconfig(8) icmd(8) idiscover(8) ievents(8) ifru(8) igetevent(8) ihealth(8) ilan(8) ireset(8) isel(8) isensor(8) isol(8) iwdt(8) WARNINGS See http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/ for the latest version of ipmiutil and any bug fix list. -------------------------------------- 3.15 ISOL (ipmiutil sol) ISOL(8) ISOL(8) NAME ipmiutil_sol - an IPMI Serial-Over-LAN Console application SYNOPSIS ipmiutil sol [-acdeilorsvwxz -NUPREFJTVY] DESCRIPTION This utility starts an IPMI Serial-Over-LAN console session. A Serial- over-LAN console allows the client to see and modify functions before the OS boots, such as BIOS setup, grub, etc. This utility uses either the IPMI LAN 1.5 or 2.0 SOL interface. The 1.5 SOL interface is spe- cific to Intel BMCs, while any IPMI 2.0 BMC should support 2.0 SOL. The target system/node must first have these parameters configured before SOL sessions can be started: - [BIOS] serial console redirection parameters, - [IPMI] lan and SOL parameters (see ipmiutil lan or ilan), and - [OS] For Linux, edit grub.conf, inittab, and securetty parameters. Be sure that the baud rate matches in all of the above places. See the ipmiutil UserGuide section 4.8 for details. OPTIONS -a Activate the SOL Console session, and enter console mode. Use the escape sequence (’~.’) to exit the session. -c ’^’ Set the escape Character to ’^’, or another ANSI character. This changes the default two-character escape sequence (’~.’) to the specified single escape character, which will end the SOL session. -d Deactivate the SOL Console session. Use this if the previous session was aborted abnormally and starting a new session gives an error. -e Turn Encryption off in negotiation when activating a session. By default, encryption is on for Serial-Over-LAN console ses- sions. -l Use Legacy BIOS mapping for Enter key (CR+LF) instead of just LF. This is needed for BIOS Setup menus and DOS, but causes an extra LF to occur in Linux. So, only use this option if doing BIOS or DOS changes. This should be seldom be needed since now the default is to automatically detect these menus with colored backgrounds and change the mapping. -i input_file Use this file as an input script. The input_file will be read after the session is established. This can be used to automate certain tasks. The input_file is read one line at a time. If the input_file does not have an escape character (~) to end the session, then the input is returned to the keyboard when the file ends. -o output_file Use a Trace log. The output_file is created and all SOL screen output is written to the file, including VT100 escape sequences. If the output_file exists, the output is appended to it. This can be used to log what the user has done in an SOL session. -r Use Raw terminal I/O instead of custom VT100 to ANSI translation (in Windows). Use this option if the server is configured in BIOS and BMC for ANSI and the utility is being invoked from Win- dows. -s NNN For a slow link with high latency, this adds a delay of NNN microseconds between sending and receiving SOL packets. The default is 100 microseconds. -w (Windows only) Do not use the Windows Console buffer, but use Windows stdio instead. This does not handle cursor positioning correctly in some cases, however. -v log_file Causes debug messages to be displayed to the specified debug log_file. The default log_file is isoldbg.log in the current directory. -x Causes debug messages to be displayed to the debug log file. -z Causes more verbose debug messages to be displayed to the debug log file. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any supported driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P. EXAMPLES ipmiutil sol -a -N nodename -U username -P password Starts an SOL console session to the nodename. Detect the lan proto- col. ipmiutil sol -a -N nodename -U username -P password -Flan2 Starts an SOL console session to the nodename. Force lan protocol to 2.0.

This utility can use either any available IPMI driver, or direct user- space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. This utility is an example of how to access the IPMI watchdog parame- ters directly, which allows changing the timer configuration. There is an init script provided with ipmiutil to automate the task of managing the watchdog timer in user-space. # chkconfig --add ipmiutil_wdt (skip this if no chkconfig) # /etc/init.d/ipmiutil_wdt start This sets the watchdog timer to reset the system if the wdt is not restarted within 90 seconds. It creates an /etc/cron.d/wdt file to restart wdt every 60 seconds. See also ipmiutil UserGuide section 4.4 for more information. OPTIONS Command line options are described below. -a N Set watchdog event Action to N. Values: 0 = No action, 1 = Hard Reset(default), 2 = Power down, 3 = Power cycle. -c Show watchdog output in a canonical format, with a default delimiter of '|'. -d Disables the watchdog timer. -e Enables the watchdog timer. The timer is not actually started, however, until the timer is reset. The pre-timeout action is not enabled. -l Set the watchdog dontLog bit to not log watchdog events in the SEL. -p N Set watchdog Pretimeout event action to N. Values: 0 = No action(default), 1 = SMI, 2 = NMI, 3 = Messaging Interrupt. If this is set to an action other than 0, the pretimeout will also be set to 90% of the timeout. However, if the timeout is less than 20 seconds, the pretimeout will not be enabled. -q S Set watchdog pretimeout value to S seconds, rather than 90% of the timeout as in -p. The pretimeout value must be >= 5 and at least 5 seconds less than the timeout value. -r Resets the watchdog timer. This should be done every N seconds if the timer is running to prevent the watchdog action (usually a system reset) from occurring. -tN Set the watchdog Timeout to N seconds. The default is 120 sec- onds (2 minutes). -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node- name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R rmt_pswd Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -U rmt_user Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40.

COMMANDS intrusion This command resets any chassis intrusion condition that may have occurred. bmcstatus [enable|disable] This command gets or sets the BMC service status. Alone, with- out arguments, it gets the BMC status as either enabled or dis- abled. With an argument of either enable or disable, it will also set the BMC status as specified. firmware This command gets the extra firmware version information, if available. lanport [dedicated|lan1|failover] This command gets or sets the IPMI LAN interface port. If set to dedicated, only the dedicated IPMI NIC can be configured for IPMI LAN. If set to lan1, only the first onboard NIC (LAN1) can be configured for IPMI LAN. If set to failover, both the dedi- cated and onboard LAN1 port would be configured for IPMI LAN, with the same IP address.

The OS system time should be in sync with the BIOS Real-Time-Clock. The OS system time may also be kept from drift- ing via an NTP server. Normally the BIOS will set the BMC time from the RTC during boot, but running this command may be necessary periodi- cally if the system does not reboot for many weeks, for instance. Note that this command should not be run too frequently to avoid BMC timing issues. Once per day should be sufficient. Run with no options, this command reads the BMC SEL time without set- ting anything. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 openipmi driver, the /dev/imb Intel driver, the /dev/ipmikcs valinux driver, a driverless interface, or IPMI LAN. OPTIONS -s Sets the SEL time (no more than once a day). -x Causes eXtra debug messages to be displayed. -N nodename Nodename of the remote target system. If a nodename is speci- fied, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used. -P/-R password Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. -U username Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -F drv_t Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 14): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. -V Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. -Y Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password.

The key unique LAN parameters that must be configured for basic IPMI LAN functionality are: 3,4,5,6,12,13, plus the Channel Access Mode and User Access. Additional parameters for PEF and SOL are shown below also. Defaults for required parameters are detected by ipmiutil lan, except for the username, password, and the BMC LAN IP if it is not shared. The detection uses the OS LAN configuration to find the gateway IP, MAC addresses, mask, etc. # ipmiutil lan -e -u user2 -p password2 [-I 192.168.1.1 ] [-L 3] Running "ipmiutil lan -e -u user2 -p password2" would set up all required IPMI LAN parameters if the OS and BMC share an IP address. If not, the -I parameter should be included to specify the BMC IP. You may want to add -G [-H] to specify the gateway IP address [gateway MAC] if the OS does not have a NIC on the same subnet. To configure an RMM NIC for IPMI LAN, the '-L 3' parameter specifies the RMM NIC as IPMI LAN channel 3. Otherwise ipmiutil detects the first available IPMI LAN channel and configures it (usually channel 1). Note that this also sets up the PEF table for events, but the channel is not enabled for PEF events unless an Alert destination is specified, either in snmpd.conf or via -A. Note that the IPMI LAN protocol works only from remote systems. The IPMI LAN cannot recognize LAN commands from the local system because those requests never really go onto the physical network. Use the non-LAN form of a given ipmiutil command (without -N) to run locally. Below is sample output from a system after being configured for IPMI LAN. # ipmiutil lan ipmiutil ver 2.71 ilan ver 2.71 -- BMC version 0.66, IPMI version 2.0 ilan, GetPefEntry ...

Shell access to the servers (via ssh or similar) is assumed. IPMI LAN, Simple case, password is not changed, default user: [ssh connection] # ipmiutil lan -e [ssh exit] IPMI LAN, Complex case, assuming that a password needs to be set and that the session text (or script) must encrypt the password. Assumes that we are setting a non-default user named 'admin' below. So, using the gnupg.org utilities with public/private keys would look something like this: [ Set up list (or db) of encrypted passwords & key by nodename. Note that the list and keyfile could reside locally, building the ssh script syntax, so that only the encrypted password is exposed remotely. ] [ssh connection] # gpg --import mykey.file # mynode=`uname -n` # my_enc_psw=`grep $mynode mylist.file |cut -f2` # ipmiutil lan -e -u admin -p `gpg --decrypt $my_enc_psw` [ssh exit] ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4 Usage of IPMI Utilities to Set Watchdog timer ---------------------------------------------------------------- Watchdog timer coverage over the phases of boot and OS operation: Power-on to end-of-POST = BIOS FRB2 end-of-POST to OS Running = BIOS OS Boot Timeout OS User-space operation = SMS Timeout via "ipmiutil wdt" Each of these phases uses the same watchdog timer mechanism but initializes the timer with different values. For user-space watchdog control, use "ipmiutil wdt" to read, set, and reset the IPMI watchdog timer. There is an init script provided with ipmiutil to automate this task. # chkconfig --add ipmiutil_wdt (skip this if no chkconfig) # /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipmiutil_wdt start This sets the watchdog timer to reset the system if the wdt is not restarted within 90 seconds. It creates an /etc/cron.d/wdt file to restart wdt every 60 seconds. This user-space approach is desirable if you wish the watchdog to expire for such conditions as out-of-memory or out-of-processes, since the cron job will start a short process for each invocation. Note that this also does not require additional services or modules to be running all the time. Note that the device-independent way to start/stop watchdog timers in Linux is to use the /dev/watchdog interface via the OpenIPMI driver. For kernel-space watchdog management, you could build a custom kernel with embedded watchdog support by changing the CONFIG_IPMI_* driver parameters to =y in the Linux .config (including CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG) and building the kernel. Then edit grub.conf to start the watchdog with the kernel parameter "ipmi_watchdog_start_now=1". ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4.5 Usage of kernel panic handler code (now CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT): ---------------------------------------------------------------- If a Linux panic occurs, the bmc_panic module will automatically save the date/time of the panic, and minimal information about the panic. This information will also be sent via SNMP to the remote management console, and (if bmcpanic.patch) the Alarms panel LED will be turned on. If lkcd is also configured, a full crash-dump of the panic will be saved for later analysis. After this, the system will automatically reboot. This provides instant notification to the administrator, and significantly improved post-mortem diagnosis. Without these features, the administrator may never have any indication that the system had crashed, and no way to know how to diagnose and fix the problem. To enable this, set CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT=y and CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING=y in the kernel .config file. You can also run ipmiutil lan to enable sending an SNMP trap for a kernel panic as an "OS Critical Stop" event. Make sure that the panic timeout is not zero (infinite), by using echo "5" > /proc/sys/kernel/panic or by adding 'append="panic=5"' to the lilo or grub configuration. After a panic occurs, you can then use ipmiutil sel to view the firmware SEL for that event. It should look something like this: # ipmiutil sel [...] 2d04 07/21/04 07:54:22 SMI 20 OS Critical Stop 46 (Fat) 6f [a1 61 74] 2d18 OEM Event 20 00 Fatal excep 2d2c OEM Event 20 01 tion [...] ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4.6 Interpreting BMC LAN SNMP Traps from Platform Events. ---------------------------------------------------------------- There are MIB files provided for BMC LAN SNMP traps with this project. They are installed into /usr/share/ipmiutil/bmclan*.mib, and sym-linked into /usr/share/snmp/mibs/. The Platform Event Traps (enterprises.3183) are defined in bmclanpet.mib. The Alert-on-LAN traps (enterprises.3183) are defined in bmclanaol.mib. Note that Plaform Event Traps also have a 46-byte binary variable bindings field included with the trap. See Section 12.5 and 12.6 from the Intel ISM 5.x TPS for background.

See section 4.10 for how to use ipmiutil to perform the configuration and interpretation of IPMI PET traps. For example, the above trap would be interpreted as follows: # events -p 00 80 60 ff 94 47 03 00 21 19 0c 7f 3b 12 ff ff 20 20 00 01 83 00 00 01 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 19 00 00 01 57 00 0c c1 events version 2.34 0019 08/23/04 11:13:06 BMC 12 System Event #83 OEM System Boot 6f [01 ff ff] ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4.7 Interpreting newer PECI sensors for CPU Thermal Margin ---------------------------------------------------------------- The newer CPUs do more monitoring internally rather that using absolute temperature thresholds from the BMC. The CPU knows best what its thresholds should be, and the thresholds may be different for different CPUs. So, there are several IPMI sensors that expose the state of the CPU temperature via the newer PECI interface. 1) Thermal Margin - A negative value indicating margin to throttling point. Once margin reaches 0, throttling begins 2) Therm Control % - Reports the percentage of time within a 5.8 second sliding window during which the processor was throttling 3) VRD Hot - Discrete sensor indicating one of the phases of the processor VRD circuit on the baseboard has exceeded it's limit. This is not indicative of CPU - just the VR circuit on the baseboard. Therm Margin is the one to watch if you want max performance without throttling. If it reaches 0, you will start losing performance to throttling. However, the Therm Margin throttling is well in advance of the temperatures that would cause a CPU ThermTrip condition and shut off the system. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4.8 How to configure a system for IPMI Serial-Over-LAN Console ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Serial-Over-LAN (SOL) console configuration requires configuring BIOS, BMC/IPMI, and OS parameters. Intel S5000 motherboards and prior use Serial Port B (ttyS1) for SOL, but Intel S5500 and most other vendors use Serial Port A (ttyS0). Enter BIOS Setup for Serial Console Redirection parameters: (these vary by platform) Console Redirection = Serial Port A ACPI Redirection = Disabled Baud Rate = 19.2K (or 115.2k) Flow Control = CTS/RTS Terminal Type = VT100 Legacy Redirection = Enabled or Disabled (optional, for DOS) Note that the Baud Rate can vary, but it must match in all locations where it is used (BIOS, IPMI, and Linux). Some vendors may have OS utilities to change BIOS parameters, for instance, Intel BIOS would use 'syscfg /bcs COM1 19200 CTS VT100' to do this. Run this sample command for IPMI LAN & SOL configuration: ipmiutil lan -e -u user2 -p password2 [-B 115.2k] [-I 192.168.1.1] Use the -I portion if your BMC does not share a MAC address with the OS. If not specified, the baud rate defaults to either 19.2k or the baud previously set with "ipmiutil serial", if set. If there is more than one IPMI LAN channel, the alternate channel can be configured by adding "-L 3" for channel 3. ---- FOR LINUX SERIAL CONSOLE ----- Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to: add "console=ttyS0,19200n8" on the end of the kernel line, then comment out the "splashimage=" line and optionally add these lines for grub menu display serial --unit=0 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 (use --unit=1 if ttyS1) terminal --timeout=10 serial console (Adding these two lines sometimes does not timeout and continue without user interaction using some grub-0.9x versions.) If using /etc/inittab, edit it to add: co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -h -L 19200 ttyS0 vt100 If using Ubuntu, RHEL6, or Fedora 11, the /etc/inittab has been replaced by Upstart, with a different procedure. If using Upstart (Ubuntu, RHEL6), adding the console=ttyS0,19200n8 in grub will auto-start everything. Editing the serial init for getty is not required. However, if you want to use hardware flow control, change the /etc/init/serial.conf last line to: exec /sbin/agetty -h -L $SPEED /dev/$DEV vt100-nav Edit /etc/securetty to add: ttyS0 Edit $HOME/.bashrc or /etc/bashrc to add: stty crtscts Adding "stty crtscts" in your bashrc turns on RTS/CTS flow control once you are logged in. Otherwise operations with lots of output may miss some chunks of data. Some Linux distributions do not turn this on by default. ---- FOR WINDOWS SERIAL CONSOLE ----- To configure Windows for Serial (System Admin Console), these BOOTCFG.EXE commands manipulate the BOOT.INI for SAC: BOOTCFG /EMS ON /PORT BIOSSET /ID 1 (Enables SAC) BOOTCFG /EMS OFF /ID 1 (Disables SAC) ---- FOR FREEBSD SERIAL CONSOLE ----- Open the file /etc/ttys with an editor and set up a line like this: ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt100 on secure For more details, see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4.9 Using ipmiutil Library APIs for custom programs ---------------------------------------------------------------- The various driver modules and LAN interfaces are included in libipmiutil.a which is built by "cd util; make libipmiutil.a". The library is named ipmiutil.lib in Windows. The library is built by default along with the ipmi_sample application to show how to use this library. Note that ipmi_sample is linked with libcrypto.so (option -lcrypto) in order to support the lanplus interface. Only the SOL console function requires lanplus, all other functions can use the lan interface, since the IPMI 2.0 firmware is required to support both lan and lanplus. If the custom program does not require the lanplus interface, it can be reconfigured without lanplus by first running './configure --enable-standalone'. This library provides a common interface to use IPMI commands. See section 9.0 for more information about the common library APIs. See util/ipmi_sample.c for an example of how these APIs can be used. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4.10 How to configure a system for SNMP Traps via IPMI PEF rules ---------------------------------------------------------------- The IPMI Platform Event Filter (PEF) actions support sending SNMP v1 traps from the IPMI firmware when IPMI events occur, regardless of the state of the OS. 1) Configure the server to send IPMI PET traps. These can be configured using ipmiutil on the target server with ipmiutil. This command will enable the PEF rules for SNMP traps. # ipmiutil lan -e -I -A [-k] [-a num] The -k option enables PEF rules for the "OK" or clearing traps for certain IPMI events. Note that several SNMP alert destinations can be specified by using the -a num option, where num=1,2,3,4 (1 is the default). This enables the following PEF rules: PEFilter(01): 01 Temperature Sensor event - enabled for alert PEFilter(02): 02 Voltage Sensor event - enabled for alert PEFilter(03): 04 Fan Failure event - enabled for alert PEFilter(04): 05 Chassis Intrusion event - enabled for alert PEFilter(05): 08 Power Supply Fault event - enabled for alert PEFilter(06): 0c Memory ECC Error event - enabled for alert PEFilter(07): 0f BIOS POST Error event - enabled for alert PEFilter(08): 07 FRB Failure event - enabled for alert PEFilter(09): 13 Fatal NMI event - enabled for alert PEFilter(10): 23 Watchdog Timer Reset event - enabled for alert PEFilter(11): 12 System Restart event - enabled for alert PEFilter(12): 20 OS Critical Stop event - enabled for alert PEFilter(13): 09 Power Redundancy Lost event - enabled for alert PEFilter(14): 09 Power Unit OK event - enabled for alert PEFilter(15): 01 Temperature OK event - enabled for alert PEFilter(16): 02 Voltage OK event - enabled for alert Note that Fan failure events do not have a clearing trap because a fan failure would usually require removing system power to physically replace the fan. The IPMI Platform Event Traps (PET) can then be tested with these steps: 2) On the trap receiver, start the SNMP services. For Linux, this would be: Optionally edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf for a broader view, e.g.: view systemview included .1 /etc/init.d/snmpd start /etc/init.d/snmptrapd start 3) On the server under test, cause an event by: a) removing and reinserting a power supply, or b) setting the temperature thresholds out of range: ipmiutil sensor -n 20 -t -h 15 (sets the Baseboard Temp high threshold to 15 degrees C) then setting the temperature thresholds back to normal: ipmiutil sensor -n 20 -t -h 61 (sets the Baseboard Temp high threshold to 61 degrees C) c) you can see the IPMI events generated by doing: ipmiutil sel The IPMI PET traps (enterprises.3183) are defined in /usr/share/ipmiutil/bmclanpet.mib, and the alert destination system (trap receiver) can interpret them with the ipmiutil events utility as follows: 4) Get the sensor output from a server of the same type. Copy /usr/share/ipmiutil/sensor_out.txt to the system where the traps are received. This would not be required if the trap receiver and server are both the same type. 5) Get the hex data bytes from the IPMI PET trap. This sample was taken from /var/log/messages on a Linux system with snmptrapd: Sep 26 11:22:17 chapin1 snmptrapd[19859]: 2008-09-26 11:22:17 ac1-tigw1u-bmc [10.243.42.235] (via 10.243.42.235) TRAP, SNMP v1, community public SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3183.1.1 Enterprise Specific Trap (65792) Uptime: 141 days, 11:37:06.13 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3183.1.1.1 = Hex-STRING: B1 D8 4F 76 1D E2 11 DC B3 E8 00 0E 0C C7 1B A0 11 08 14 31 D3 D4 FF FF 20 20 10 20 30 53 44 50 2B 30 00 00 00 00 00 19 00 00 01 57 08 11 C1 6) Skip the first 8 hex bytes from the hex data above and pass the data to the ipmiutil events application. # sfil=/usr/share/ipmiutil/sensor_out.txt # ipmiutil events -p -s $sfil B3 E8 00 0E 0C C7 1B A0 11 08 14 31 D3 D4 FF FF 20 20 10 20 30 53 44 50 2B 30 00 00 00 00 00 19 00 00 01 57 08 11 C1 events version 2.34 000b SDR Full 01 01 20 a 01 snum 30 Baseboard Temp 0008 09/26/08 04:50:12 BMC 01 Temperature #30 Lo Noncrit thresh act=2b thr=30 This output should match the output from 'ipmiutil sel' on the server.

If installing from the ZIP file, just run install.cmd. Otherwise, these are the manual steps to perform. The showselmsg.dll needs to be copied into the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory and then run showsel.reg, so that the Windows EventLog service can find information about the showsel events. Note that the openssl crypto libraries (libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll) should be copied to %SystemRoot%\System32 to provide crypto functions for the lanplus logic, if they are not already present. For WinPE 64-bit, or other variants without openssl, see also http://www.indyproject.org/Sockets/fpc/OpenSSLforWin64.en.aspx Note that for Windows Vista/7 workstation and later, make sure to 'Run as administrator' when installing. Windows Server should not require this step. The utilities can be run separately, or an ipmiutil directory can be added into the %PATH%. A sample install batch file: > set MYBIN=c:\bin > copy libeay32.dll %SystemRoot%\system32 > copy ssleay32.dll %SystemRoot%\system32 > copy showselmsg.dll %SystemRoot%\system32 > start showsel.reg > mkdir %MYBIN% > copy *.exe %MYBIN% The usage of ipmiutil in Windows is the same as in Linux OS, with the exception of drivers: * The Intel IPMI driver supported is the Intel IMB driver (imbdrv.sys), which can be obtained from the Intel Resource CD for your system, from the ISM CD, or from http://www.intel.com by searching downloads for IMB driver. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Search.aspx?Prod_nm=imb+driver or cached at http://ipmiutil.sf.net/kern/imbdrv130.zip * The Microsoft IPMI driver (ipmidrv.sys), which comes with Windows 2003 R2 and later, is also supported. It should be noted that the two IPMI drivers should not be installed at the same time, since they will interfere with each other. Note that there are several outstanding bug reports against the Microsoft ipmidrv.sys driver which may affect its usage: * ipmidrv.sys does not support systems with 4-byte register spacing https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windowsserver/en-US/223e3a0d-3daa-4141-9c13-3169f766a7d5/win2008-ipmidrvsys-does-not-load-if-register-spacing-4 * ipmidrv.sys WBEM access memory leak https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmiutil/support-requests/11/ https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/ca4df181-7fd4-4912-83a0-5896b030e3ca/latest-version-of-microsoft-ipmi-driver-ipmidrvsys?forum=wdk * ipmidrv.sys with Windows 2012 does not work on many IPMI systems This version is more broken than the Win2008 version. If you are affected by any of these issues, you can download and install the imbdrv.sys as described below, but you must also disable the MS ipmidrv.sys. For some systems or applications, you may need to uninstall the Microsoft IPMI driver, like this: * start Control Panel/System app * go to Hardware tab, start Device Manager * select View/Show Hidden Devices * go to "System Devices", * right-click "Microsoft Generic IPMI Compliant Device" * select Properties * on driver tab, click "Uninstall" * then reboot. If you are running Windows 2012, the Device Manager does not support this, so use these steps to disable the Microsoft IPMIDRV: * Start a command prompt with 'Run as administrator' * cd \windows\system32\drivers * move ipmidrv.sys ipmidrv.old * then reboot How to install Intel IPMI driver from the cached copy at http://ipmiutil.sf.net/kern/imbdrv130.zip Extract imbdrv130.zip to c:\temp or similar > cd c:\temp > cd x86_64 (or 'cd ia32' if 32-bit Windows) > install.bat (DeviceSetup.exe install imbdrv.inf *IMBDRV) > driverquery (shows the drivers currently installed/running) How to install the Windows Intel IPMI driver (imbdrv.sys from the Intel CD): > cd c:\temp > copy d:\ism\software\win32\pi\common\imb*.* > copy d:\ism\software\win32\pi\common\win2k*.exe > ren imbdrv2k.sys imbdrv.sys > copy imbapi.dll %SystemRoot%\system32 > win2kinstall c:\temp\imbdrv.inf *IMBDRV > driverquery (shows the drivers currently installed/running) Note that when using 32-bit binaries on 64-bit Windows Server installations, make sure that the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable package is installed (vcredist_x86.exe). See http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en to download this if needed. ---------------------------------- 5.2 WINDOWS BUILD INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------- The ipmiutil Windows binaries for each release are pre-built and posted at http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net, but here is how to build the ipmiutil EXEs for Windows from source. Note that the WIN32 compile flag is used. The ipmiutil buildwin.cmd shows how to compile and link the lib and exe files, although many people prefer instead to do builds with the Microsoft VisualStudio project GUI. 5.2.1 Install Visual Studio The build environment assumes that VisualStudio 6.0 VC98 or later is installed. 5.2.2 Download contrib files Before running buildwin.cmd, first download the contributed files for Windows (includes getopt.c and openssl). A copy of these files is available from http://ipmiutil.sf.net/FILES/ipmiutil-contrib.zip The above zip contains all of the contributed source used. Refer to getopt.c from one of these BSD getopt.c (used by default in ipmiutil.exe): http://www.openmash.org/lxr/source/src/getopt.c?c=gsm public domain getopt.c: http://www.koders.com/c/fid034963469B932D9D87F91C86680EB08DB4DE9AA3.aspx GNU LGPL getopt.c: http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/ogg-tools/oggsplit/ Refer to openssl from this link (Apache-style license, not gpl) http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8x.tar.gz (used by default) 5.2.3 Copy initial contrib files into ipmiutil Below are sample directories where ipmiutil*.tar.gz was unpacked, and where the openssl*.tar.gz was unpacked. > set ipmiutil_dir=c:\dev\ipmiutil > set openssl_dir=c:\dev\openssl First, copy the getopt.c & getopt.h into the util directory. From the directory where ipmiutil-contrib.zip was unpacked, > copy getopt.* %ipmiutil_dir%\util The iphlpapi.lib comes from Visual Studio (2003 .Net), Win2003 DDK, or WinSDK. > copy iphlpapi.lib %ipmiutil_dir%\lib > copy iphlpapi.h %ipmiutil_dir%\util 5.2.4 Build the openssl libraries To build from original source you would then want to build a copy of openssl for Windows, and copy the built openssl files to lib & inc. Follow the openssl build instructions from INSTALL.W32 for VC++ to build these binaries. 5.2.5 Copy the resulting LIB and DLL binaries to ipmiutil > copy %openssl_dir%\out32dll\libeay32.lib %ipmiutil_dir%\lib > copy %openssl_dir%\out32dll\ssleay32.lib %ipmiutil_dir%\lib > copy %openssl_dir%\out32dll\libeay32.dll %ipmiutil_dir%\util > copy %openssl_dir%\out32dll\ssleay32.dll %ipmiutil_dir%\util > mkdir %ipmiutil_dir%\lib\lanplus\openssl > copy %openssl_dir%\include\openssl\*.h %ipmiutil_dir%\lib\lanplus\openssl 5.2.6 Set the Visual Studio variables with vcvars*.bat For your installation of Microsoft Visual Studio, it has batch files to set the Visual C variables. Run the appropriate architecture version of these batch files to set the VC variables. Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvarsamd64.bat 5.2.7 Run buildwin.cmd buildwin.cmd will build all of the Windows EXE and DLL files. If you are using ipmiutil for a bootable WinPE environment, and do not need Serial-Over-LAN functionality, the buildwin2.cmd will build the Windows EXE files without using the openssl libraries, to simplify the process. The openssl libraries are required for the IPMI LAN 2.0 crypto functions that Serial-Over-LAN requires. ---------------------------------- 5.3 WINDOWS COMMAND USAGE ---------------------------------- Because of the differences in Linux getopt and the BSD getopt.c used by default in the Windows build, the order of parameters is more important in Windows. For example in Linux, the following command usages work, but not in Windows: # ipmiutil cmd 00 20 18 01 -N 192.168.1.154 # ipmiutil cmd 00 20 -N 192.168.1.154 18 01 The Windows equivalent would have to put the -N option immediately after the subfunction, as shown below: > ipmiutil cmd -N 192.168.1.154 00 20 18 01 -------------------------- 6.0 SAMPLE OUTPUT -------------------------- Below is sample ipmiutil output from an Intel TIGW1U server. # ipmiutil alarms ipmiutil ver 2.13 alarms ver 2.13 -- BMC version 0.19, IPMI version 2.0 Alarm LEDs: critical = off major = off minor = off power = off Alarm Relays: major = off minor = off disk slot 0 LED: off disk slot 1 LED: off disk slot 2 LED: off disk slot 3 LED: off disk slot 4 LED: off disk slot 5 LED: off alarms, completed successfully # ipmiutil cmd 00 20 18 01 ipmiutil ver 2.21 icmd ver 2.21 This is a test tool to compose IPMI commands.

LAN 1.x was attempted, but this BMC supports LAN 2.0 but not LAN 1.x, which violates the IPMI 2.0 spec. -15 "other error", an unknown error occurred -16 "cannot open IPMI driver". No IPMI driver could be opened. Since the driverless mode is also attempted, this usually means that the user does not have root privilege. -17 "invalid parameter" a parameter was out of bounds -18 "access not allowed" user does not have access to this file or function -19 "session dropped by BMC" the BMC firmware aborted the IPMI session -20 "cannot open file" cannot open the specified file -21 "item not found" requested item was not found -22 "usage or help requested", the user requested usage/help -23 "bad format", the data format is invalid, cannot proceed -504 "error getting msg from BMC" during driverless I/Os, a command did not get a response. 7.2 IPMI COMPLETION CODES IPMI Completion Codes are defined in IPMI 1.5, Table 5-2, and are also included below in both hex and decimal format. Note that the meaning of completion codes 0x80-0x9f may vary depending on the command.

The same source files can be built in both Linux and Windows as shown below. To get the ipmiutil source: Download the latest released ipmiutil-*.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmiutil/files/ Or download a tar.gz of the current subversion trunk with the latest source http://ipmiutil.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ipmiutil/trunk/?view=tar Or, if you have subversion installed, you can check out the latest source by doing: # svn co https://ipmiutil.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ipmiutil ipmiutil See also section 4.9 for information about building custom applications using ipmiutil library APIs. The ipmi_sample.c shows a sample application using the ipmiutil library. 8.1 Build instructions for Linux To build with some GPL code: If you are building ipmiutil for open-source, then the MD2 hash for IPMI LAN and the valinux driver interface (/dev/ipmikcs) can be supported. If so, you should specify the following during configure: "./configure --enable-gpl" The default is to build with only BSD-licensed code and not to include the MD2 and valinux features. The md2.h and ipmi_ioctl.h files with GPL code can be removed if this option is not enabled. To build a standalone binary without IPMI LAN 2.0 (lanplus plugin), which may be desirable for use on bootable media (USB/CDROM), to decrease the size or to avoid using libcrypto, you can specify the following during configure: "./configure --enable-standalone" builds it without lanplus libs and without GPL code. Only the SOL console function requires lanplus, all other functions can use the lan interface, since the IPMI 2.0 firmware is required to support both lan and lanplus. However, lanplus does have more secure encryption, as provided by libcrypto. To add LanDesk IPMI support: Support for the LanDesk IPMI driver requires a library supplied by LanDesk (libipmiapi.a). After obtaining this library, place it in lib/libipmiapi.a. Then you can link ipmiutil to support it by specifying the following during configure: "./configure --enable-landesk=yes" Steps to build for Linux: # ./beforeconf.sh Which automates these functions: * copying libtool files * aclocal (may be needed if automake versions are different) * autoconf (may be needed if automake versions are different) * automake # ./configure --enable-landesk adds landesk library support [default=no] --disable-lanplus disable lanplus library support --enable-standalone build standalone, with no GPL or LanPlus libs. --enable-gpl build with some GPL code [default=no] # make To add the ifruset utility, which allows setting any FRU Product fields: # cd util; make ifruset # ifruset -? To build and install an rpm package, use one of the following: # make install # make rpm The make rpm produces a binary rpm, and a source rpm, which can be installed with "rpm -i *.rpm". To build and install a Debian package, do this: # mv debpkg debian # dpkg-buildpackage then install it with "dpkg -i *.deb". 8.2 Build instructions for Windows The ipmiutil Windows binaries for each release are pre-built and posted at http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net, but here is how to build the ipmiutil EXEs for Windows from source. Note that the WIN32 compile flag is used. The ipmiutil buildwin.cmd shows how to compile and link the lib and exe files, although many people prefer instead to do builds with the Microsoft VisualStudio project GUI. See also ipmiutil UserGuide section 5.2 for more details. 1) Install Visual Studio (e.g. VS 6.0 or VC98) 2) Download contrib files from http://ipmiutil.sf.net/FILES/ipmiutil-contrib.zip and see section 5.2 for getopt.c and openssl. 3) Copy initial contrib files into ipmiutil See section 5.2.3 for details 4) Build the openssl libraries according to its INSTALL.W32 5) Copy the resulting openssl LIB and DLL binaries to ipmiutil 6) Set the Visual C variables Example: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" 7) Run buildwin.cmd buildwin.cmd will build all of the Windows EXE and DLL files. 8.3 Build instructions for Solaris # iver=2.7.9 # uname -a SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc # gunzip ipmiutil-${iver}.tar.gz # tar xvf ipmiutil-${iver}.tar # cd ipmiutil-${iver} # PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/openwin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin # ./configure # make # make tarsol This produces /tmp/ipmiutil-${iver}-solaris.tar with the binaries. # gzip /tmp/ipmiutil-${iver}-solaris.tar Solaris Release Notes: - Built with support for bmc, lan, and lanplus interfaces.

It was then known as 'panicsel' and included a kernel patch to write a Linux panic event to the IPMI firmware log, as well as utilities. This code was first included in MontaVista CGE Linux 2.1 in July 2002. The panicsel functionality was included in OSDL CGL 1.0 and 2.0 requirements. The kernel panic functionality was included in the OpenIPMI driver for 2.6 Linux kernels. Compile flags for Windows 2000 & 2003 support were added in Jan 2004. In August 2004, the project was moved from panicsel.sf.net to ipmiutil.sf.net. The new name more clearly reflects the purpose of the project in its current state. In November 2004, support for the FreeIPMI library was added. A Linux rpm and a Windows setup package for ipmiutil is included on the Resource CD with Intel carrier-grade servers. The ipmiutil (or panicsel) rpm is known to be included in the following distributions: MontaVista CGE 2.1/3.0/3.1/4.0, SuSE SLES9, Red Flag 5.0 10.2 Links Links with information related to the IPMI Management Utilities project. ipmiutil project, sourceforge http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net (current) panicsel project, sourceforge http://panicsel.sourceforge.net (old) IPMI Specification http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/index.htm OSDL Carrier Grade Linux http://www.osdl.org/lab_activities/carrier_grade_linux/ Intel imb driver source http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Search.asp?Prod_nm=ipmi*driver*source Intel imb driver for Windows http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Search.aspx?Prod_nm=imb+driver OpenIPMI project http://sourceforge.net/projects/openipmi/ by Corey Minyard of MontaVista (home= http://openipmi.sourceforge.net) ipmitools project by San Mehat http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitools/ valinux IPMI driver http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ipmitools/ipmitools/kernel/kcs/patches/2.4.x/ GNU FreeIPMI library project http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/ LANDesk IPMI driver/daemon http://www.landesk.com/Support/ (or see Intel System Resource CD for Intel servers) lm-sensors project http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ dmidecode project http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/ IPMI vendor/mfg IDs http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers
