I would like to point out that IPMI or Intelligent Platform Management Interface is an open, industry-standard interface that was designed for the management of server systems over network. It enables you to monitor and control your server platform, as well as to retrieve information about your server platform is a standard.

2024年12月18日 · We are experiencing an issue with the IPMI tool on several of our Supermicro servers. We have a script that monitors the status of power supplies by running the command ipmitool sdr type "Power Supply". The command typically returns output like this:

FreeIPMI’s ipmi-ping can be used to see if a machine has an IPMI service at a specific host/IP address. For more wide scale IPMI discovery, the ipmi-detectd daemon and ipmi-detect tool can be used. Again, the failure to find an IPMI supported device is …

I had a similar issue where I could arping the IPMI BMC and see it in my arp table, but could not ping it. The issue was that the BMC thought it was on a /31 network and was sending all replies to a non-existent default gateway. The solution is to change the default gateway in the IPMI config or add that gateway address to your client's NIC.

Just wanted to highlight another minor point: "Make sure you are running with root/admin privileges". user@host:~$ ipmitool power status Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory user@host:~$ ls /dev/ipmi* /dev/ipmi0 user@host:~$ lsmod | grep ipmi ipmi_devintf 20480 0 ipmi_ssif 24576 0 ipmi_si 57344 0 …

2015年3月27日 · I have something like this in place in RHEV 3, where the VM's power management is easily done via a small script, and VNC/Spice and a serial console are available. Not IPMI as such, but the functionality is right there. EDIT: there is a fence-rhev agent available as well, so that would cover the power management part

有了ipmi，服务器上架后只需要在机房配置好ipmi，插入网线，连上电源。 然后就可以坐在办公室慢慢的装系统。 有了IPMI，在服务器崩溃的时候，你业务IP可能已经连不上了，但是你可以登陆IPMI，直接重启服务器，或者通过IPMI，查看显示器界面报错信息。

Write may have failed. happens due to prohibited write/change of IPMI/BMC parameters. The prohibition applied when in Section [LANCHANNELS] the parameter LANFailOver equals enable. To be able to change network settings of IPMI, this parameter should be set to disable to the time of change. Here is how to do that correctly:

2009年11月16日 · Get the user ID of the IPMI user whose password you want to set: ipmicfg -user list. Set a new password for that user (the ADMIN user typically has an ID of 2): ipmicfg -user setpwd 2 your_password_here. Login to the IPMI web GUI using the password you just set. I've reset the ADMIN password on dozens of Supermicro IPMI BMCs.
