FreeIPMI Description

Free and open source in-band and out-of-band IPMI software FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. The IPMI specification defines a set of interfaces for platform management and is implemented by a number vendors for system management. The features of IPMI that most users will be interested in are sensor monitoring, system event monitoring, power control, and serial-over-LAN (SOL). The FreeIPMI tools and libraries listed below should provide users with the ability to access and utilize these and many other features. FreeIPMI offers a a number of useful features for large HPC or cluster environments.Project Tools:Bmc-info: A tool to read information about a BMC such as device version numbers, device support, and global IDs. (example output) Bmc-config: A tool to configure general BMC and IPMI information. Supports configuration of usernames, passwords, networking information, security, Serial-over-LAN (SOL), and other core fields. (example config) Bmc-watchdog: A tool/daemon to manage a BMC Watchdog. This tool is typically used for system timeout management and automatic system restarts in the event of a system crash. Ipmi-chassis: A tool to manage/monitor a chassis, such as chassis power, identification (i.e. LED control), and status. Ipmi-fru: A tool to read field replaceable unit (FRU) information from a motherboard/machine. (example output) Ipmi-sel: A tool to read and manage IPMI System Event Log (SEL) records. SEL records store system event information and may be useful for debugging problems. (example output) Ipmi-sensors: A tool to read IPMI sensor readings and sensor data repository (SDR) information. (example output) Ipmipower: A tool for remote power control. Ipmiconsole: A tool for Serial-over-Lan (SOL) console access. Ipmi-raw: A tool that provides hex input/output of IPMI commands. Ipmi-locate: A tool that can probe for information about the location of a BMC device, such as device addresses. (example output) Ipmimonitoring: A tool for sensor monitoring and interpretation. The tool is similar to ipmi-sensors, but sensor readings are analyzed and mapped into Nominal, Warning, and Critical states. (example output) Pef-config: A tool to configure Platform Event Filtering (PEF) information. (example config) Ipmi-chassis-config: A tool to configure IPMI chassis information. Supports configuration of boot device, power restore policy, and other chassis related fields. (example config) Ipmi-sensors-config: A tool to configure IPMI sensors. Supports configuration of sensor thresholds, sensor events, and other sensor related fields. (example config) Bmc-device: A tool to perform advanced BMC commands. Ipmiping: An IPMI ping tool for debugging. (example output) Rmcpping: A RMCP ping tool for debugging. (example output) Ipmi-oem: An IPMI tool for OEM specific commands. Ipmidetect/Ipmidetectd: A tool and daemon for IPMI node detection. Project Libraries:Libfreeipmi: A C library that includes KCS, SSIF, and OpenIPMI drivers, IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 LAN communication interfaces, IPMI packet building utilities, IPMI command utilities, and utilities for reading/interpreting/managing IPMI. Libipmiconsole: A library for Serial-over-Lan (SOL) console access. SOL console access is abstracted into a file descriptor interface, so users may read and write console data through a file descriptor. Libipmimonitoring: A library for sensor monitoring and interpretation. Sensor monitoring and interpretation of those sensors is abstracted into an API with an iterator interface. Libipmidetect: A library for IPMI node detection. What's New in This Release: · In ipmi-oem, add additional Fujitsu OEM support. · Fix portability to kfreebsd.
