IPMITool Out-of-Band
BMC Management Utility (BMU) is a utility to access Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and
perform management activities. BMU allows remote, out-of-band LAN and/or serial port power
control, event log access, and console redirection.
IPMI Tool is a Command Line Interface (CLI) utility that helps in configuring and managing devices
using the IPMI version 1.5 and later protocol. IPMI Tool supports out-of-band (OOB) access (over a
LAN or through the serial port) to a single system at a time. IPMI Tool also supports in-band access.
For more information on BMU and IPMI Tool out-of-band, see the
