Time saver for ipmitool when pxe booting servers
- A working instalation of ipmitool. Typically this can be installed in linux with the integrated package manager. For redhat and derivatives try
yum install ipmitool
. - I've only tested under the bash shell so you might need this.
Put your password into an environment varible with the set-ipmi-pass.bash
script:
$ source ./set-ipmi-pass.bash
Enter IPMI password:
Then you can use the ipmi comand:
ipmi <host> <command>
host hostname or IP address of controller
command <native ipmitool command> e.g. help
command console | bootnet | reboot"
