Description-en: utility for IPMI control with kernel driver or LAN interface (daemon)
A utility for managing and configuring devices that support the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface. IPMI is an open standard
for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of hardware
that is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS. The
service processor (or Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) is the
brain behind platform management and its primary purpose is to handle
the autonomous sensor monitoring and event logging features.
.
The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to this
BMC. It features the ability to read the sensor data repository
(SDR) and print sensor values, display the contents of the System
Event Log (SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory
information, read and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform
remote chassis power control.
.
This package contains the daemon.
