Hi folks, welcome to my blog.
People who are searching for this info will be well aware of BMC (Board management Controller) and IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) and there is a lot of information about BMC & IPMI on Internet
The IPMI specification defines a set of interfaces for platform management. It is utilized by a wide variety of vendors for system management on motherboards. The features of IPMI that most users will be interested in are sensor monitoring, remote power control, serial-over-LAN (SOL), and system debugging. The FreeIPMI tools and libraries listed below should provide users with the ability to access and utilize these features.
IPMI can be used in-band (i.e. running on a machine locally) or out-of-band (i.e. connecting remotely). I am working on connecting remotely
Here I am trying to explain the usage of ipmi-oem command.
Pr-requisites:
Linux Machine: I have a Ubuntu desktop
Tools needed: freeipmi-tools
Server: Here I have a Dell server
Server BMC IP: IP address of the BMC on server is need, soon power is given to server, BMC will get booted independently and will configure the IP either through DHCP/Static based on your BIOS configuraiton.
In my case I have a dhcp & its IP is 192.168.19.114
ipmi-oem supports many OEMs like Dell, IBM, Fujitsu, Intel etc specific commands.
ipmi-oem command is available through freeipmi-tools.
$ sudo apt-get install freeipmi-tools
It is common that username is root & password is calvin for the DELL server BMC
$ sudo ipmi-oem -D LAN_2_0 -h 192.168.19.114 -u root -p calvin Dell power-supply-info
[sudo] password for gvk51:

this is how you can use the ipmi-oem command to get the Dell server specific information.
Please give your comments, that will be encouraging :)
