Configuring BMC Using IPMItool
Use the following example to configure BMC using ipmitool version 2.0:
1
Log in as root .
2 Verify that ipmitool is communicating with the BMC using the IPMI
driver. Use the following commands to check for the device ID in the
output:
# ipmitool bmc info
Device ID : 32
Device Revision : 0
Firmware Revision : 0.20
IPMI Version : 2.0
Manufacturer ID : 674
Manufacturer Name : Unknown (0x2a2)
Product ID : 256 (0x0100)
If ipmitool is not able to communicate with BMC, see "Configuring
the Open IPMI Driver" on page 17 and ensure that the IPMI driver is
running.
3 Enable IPMI over LAN:
a Determine the channel number for IPMI over LAN. Beginning with
channel 1, run the following command until you find the channel that
displays the required LAN attributes, such as the IP address:
# ipmitool lan print 1
. . .
IP Address Source : 0x01
IP Address : 140.87.155.89
. . .
b Enable LAN access for the channel found. For example, where the
channel is 1:
# ipmitool lan set 1 access on
