Command Switches Description
SYS GET
BOOTOPT
XX YY ZZ
This is essentially a text version of the IPMI “Get System Boot Options”
command. It allows any of the boot option parameters to be retrieved.
XX YY ZZ represents the hex-ASCII for the data bytes that are passed in
the Get System Boot Options request.
The BMC returns the data from the command in hex-ASCII format. See
Table 25 for information.
XX - Parameter selector
[7] -Reserved
[6:0] - Boot option parameter selector
YY - Set Selector
[7:0] -Selects a particular block or set of parameters under the
given parameter selector
Write as 00h if parameter does not use a Set Selector
ZZ - Block Selector
Selects a particular block within a set of parameters
Write as 00h if parameter does not use a Block Selector.
Note: As of this writing, there are no IPMI-specified Boot Options
parameters that use the block selector. However, this field is provided
for consistency with other configuration commands and as a placeholder
for future extension of the IPMI specification.
Returns the Terminal Mode Configuration bytes where XX and YY
represent hex-ASCII encodings for the volatile version of data bytes 1
and 2 as specified in Table 26, and AA BB represent hex-ASCII
encoding of the non-volatile version.
V:XX YY<output termination sequence>
N:AA BB<output termination sequence>
-V XX YY This command sets the volatile Terminal Mode Configuration. XX and
YY represent hex-ASCII encodings for data bytes 1 and 2 as specified in
Table 26. The BMC returns the same output as for SYS SET TCFG,
above.
SYS SET
TCFG
-N XX YY This command sets the non-volatile Terminal Mode Configuration. XX
and YY represent hex-ASCII encodings for data bytes 1 and 2 as
specified in Table 26. The BMC returns the same output as for SYS
SET TCFG, above.
SYS RESET Directs the BMC to perform an immediate system hard reset.
SYS
POWER
OFF
Directs the BMC to perform an immediate system power off.
SYS
POWER ON
Causes the BMC to initiate an immediate system power on.
