Hello,
Thank you for contacting Intel Server Community Support.
I was reviewing your thread and I would like to verify if you have checked the following link:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/servers/ipmi/ipmi-second-gen-interface-spec-v2-rev1-1.html
The guide above includes useful information about the IPMI Tool.
On the other hand, could you please provide me more information of your system such as:
- The information about the motherboard you are using like Brand name and model.
- Operating System.
I will provide you some useful commands that can help you:
1. Man and help info for IPMItool
ipmitool help
man ipmitool
2. To check firmware version of the BMC
ipmitool mc info
3. To reset the Management Controller (mc), you may use mc or bmc -both work
ipmitool mc reset [ warm | cold ]
4. Hanging BMC
ipmitool bmc reset cold
5. Show field-replaceable-unit details
ipmitool fru print
6. Show sensor output
ipmitool sdr list
ipmitool sdr type list
ipmitool sdr type Temperature
ipmitool sdr type Fan
ipmitool sdr type ‘Power Supply’
7. Chassis commands
ipmitool chassis status
ipmitool chassis identify # turn on front panel identify light (default 15s)
ipmitool [chassis] power soft # initiate a soft-shutdown via acpi
ipmitool [chassis] power cycle # issue a hard power off, wait 1s, power on
ipmitool [chassis] power off # issue a hard power off
ipmitool [chassis] power on # issue a hard power on
ipmitool [chassis] power reset # issue a hard reset
8. Modify boot device for next reboot
ipmitool chassis bootdev pxe
ipmitool chassis bootdev cdrom
ipmitool chassis bootdev bios
9. Logging
ipmitool sel info
ipmitool sel list
ipmitool sel elist # extended list (see manpage)
ipmitool sel clear
Remote Access: For remote access, you need to setup user and network settings. The preferred method is at boot time on BMC, alternatively from the BMC Web Console, or from the OS via ipmitool.
10. Display the configured BMC users on the local server
ipmitool user list 1
11. Reset password for the BMC default root user (userid ’2′) on the local server
ipmitool user set password 2
12. Display the LAN settings of the BMC on the local server
ipmitool lan print 1
13. Configure LAN settings of the BMC on the local server
ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc [ static | dhcp ]
ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr {YOUR DESIRED IP}
ipmitool lan set 1 netmask {YOUR NETMASK}
ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr 10.0.1.1
After configuring the LAN settings, you should be able to connect remotely using the ‘lanplus’ interface of IPMItool. The following is an example:
ipmitool -I lanplus -U root -H {YOUR DESIRED IP} chassis status
14. Change system state
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ip> -U <user> chassis power <status|on|off|cycle|reset>
15. Get debug info
ipmitool lan print
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ip> -U <user> shell # get ipmitool shell, type 'help'
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ip> -U <user> sel list # Show system event log
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ip> -U <user> sdr # List sensor data
16. Get SEL info & save to a text file
ipmitool sel list > sel.txt
ipmitool -l lanplus -H <ip> -U root -P admin sel list > sel.txt
IPMI frequently used raw commands:
1. To disable/enable ssh
ipmitool raw 0x30 0xb1 0x00 0x80 0x00 # disable ssh
ipmitool raw 0x30 0xb1 0x01 0x80 0x00 # enable ssh
2. To disable/enable HTTPS
ipmitool raw 0x30 0xb1 0x00 0x79 0x00 # disable HTTPS
ipmitool raw 0x30 0xb1 0x01 0x79 0x00 # enable HTTPS
3. To cold reset the BMC
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x02
4. To find out PSU firmware version
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x52 0x0f 0xb0 0x04 0xd9
