Dell Power Solutions,

he Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)

specification defines standards for monitoring server

hardware characteristics such as system tempera-

tures, voltages, fans, power supplies, bus errors, and physi-

cal system security; logging abnormal conditions; generating

platform alerts; and providing inventory information.

IPMItool, an open source utility for managing and configuring

IPMI-compliant devices, enables administrators to monitor,

log, recover, inventory, and control hardware in Dell

PowerEdge servers through a simple baseboard management

controller (BMC) command-line interface (CLI). However, the

number of CLI options limits the BMC features available

through this interface. To help maximize the available BMC

capabilities, administrators can instead access hardware

functions using raw commands.

This article provides step-by-step guidance on configuring

IPMI, installing and using IPMItool, enabling and using Serial

Over LAN (SOL), and using IPMItool raw commands. The

instructions in this article are based on the IPMI 2.0 specifica-

tion available at developer.intel.com/design/servers/

ipmi/spec.htm, and are designed to apply to Dell PowerEdge

1950 and PowerEdge 2950 servers running the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux

OS. Other configurations may require

administrators to modify these instructions.

Configuring Intelligent Platform Management

Interface

Administrators can use IPMItool to manage IPMI-based serv-

ers either locally (within the servers themselves) or remotely

(from another computer on which IPMItool is installed). Local

management requires that OpenIPMI device drivers be

installed on the servers. Remote management does not

require these drivers, but does require that IPMI Over LAN

be set up using the Remote Access Configuration Utility on

Dell PowerEdge servers.

Installing OpenIPMI drivers for local management

The OpenIPMI drivers provide an open source IPMI library

for Linux operating systems, and are typically included

in major Linux distributions. If the drivers are not

installed, administrators can download the latest

versions from sourceforge.net/projects/openipmi or

linux.dell.com/files/openipmi. Before installation, they

should first flash the latest versions of the BIOS and BMC

firmware (available from support.dell.com). Then, if they are

using a .tar.gz driver file, they can extract the file contents

using the command tar zxvf filename.tar.gz,

and install it by executing install.sh or by using the follow-

ing commands:

Although IPMItool provides a useful way to monitor and

conﬁgure Intelligent Platform Management Interface

(IPMI)–compliant devices, its limited number of command-

line options restricts access to some capabilities of the

baseboard management controllers in Dell™ PowerEdge™

servers. To help maximize these capabilities, administra-

tors can instead access hardware functions using IPMItool

raw commands.
