CLI: IPMI
You can use the IPMI command to configure access to the appliances baseboard management controller (BMC). When access is configured, an IPMI client may be used to remote power on/off the appliance, query sensors, and access the serial-over-lan console.
Configuring IPMI
ipmi {enable|ip|dhcp|username|sel|seltime|power}
To enable IPMI access:
[no] ipmi enable
To configure a static IPMI IPv4 adress or default gateway:
[no] ipmi ip address <IPv4 address> [<netmask>]
<netmask>- A netmask can be specified in long (e.g. 255.255.254.0) or short (e.g /23) format. If no netmask is specified a default of /24 is used.
[no] ipmi ip default-gateway <IPv4 address>
To use DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol to configure the IPInternet protocol address and default gateway:
[no] ipmi dhcp
To configure IPMI authentication:
[no] ipmi username <user> password <password>
To enable sending BMC System Event Log (SEL) events to the appliance log:
[no] ipmi sel enable
To set the SEL time to that of the appliance on startup:
[no] ipmi seltime enable
To control the power of a remote appliance which has enabled IPMI access as above:
ipmi power address <address> username <username> password <password> control {on|off|cycle|reset|status}
on- Power on the chassisoff- Power off the chassis - no clean shutdown of the OScycle- Power off for a minimum of 1 second, and then power onreset- Hard reset of the appliancestatus- Display the power status of the chassis
EXAMPLE
Enable the IPMI interface with 172.16.0.71 IP address and 255.255.254.0 netmask.
ipmi enable
ipmi ip address 172.16.0.71 255.255.254.0
ipmi ip default-gateway 172.16.1.254
ipmi username admin password exinda
Viewing Configuration & Status
To show the current IPMI configuration:
show ipmi
To show the power status of a remote IPMI device:
show ipmi power <address> username <username> password <password>
