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.
The IPMITool is a Command Line Interface (CLI) utility that helps in configuring and managing devices
using the IPMI version 2.0 and later protocol. The IPMITool supports out-of-band access (over a LAN or
through the serial port) to a single system at a time. The IPMITool also supports in-band access.
