-p password
Specifies the password to be used to connect to the remote managed system.
-k IPMI encryption key value
Specifies the KG value in Hex format. The IPMI encryption key is a public
key used to generate an encryption key for use between firmware and
application. It is differentiated from a password, which is not public and is
used to access the firmware. The maximum value is 20 ASCII hex pairs with
no spaces between the pairs.
NOTE: Even number of hexadecimal characters is valid and odd number of
hexadecimal characters is invalid. For example, 123456AB67 is valid, and 123 is
invalid. Enter 00, 0000, and so on to disable encryption.
