NAME

6       ipmiutil fru - show Field Replacable Unit configuration data

SYNOPSIS

9       ipmiutil fru [-abcimsvx -N node -U user -P/-R pswd -EFJTVY]

DESCRIPTION

13       ipmiutil  fru is a program that uses IPMI commands to show FRU configu‐
14       ration data and optionally write an asset tag string into the FRU data.
15       Setting  the asset tag is a function that can be used to uniquely iden‐
16       tify the unit, even if the storage  devices  are  removed  or  changed.
17       This  utility  can  use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the
18       /dev/imb driver from  Intel,  the  /dev/ipmikcs  driver  from  valinux,
19       direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N.

OPTIONS

23       Command line options are described below.
24
25       -a asset_string
26              This  option  specifies an asset tag string to be written to the
27              baseboard FRU Product area.  The asset tag length is limited  by
28              the  existing  FRU Product data, but is usually allowed up to 16
29              characters.  The default is to not modify this FRU field.
30
31       -b     Only show the Baseboard FRU data.  The default  behavior  is  to
32              also  scan  for  any SDR FRU data or DIMM SPD data referenced by
33              the SDRs.
34
35       -c     Show FRU output in a canonical format, with a default  delimiter
36              of '|'.
37
38       -i 00  This  option  specifies  a  specific  FRU ID to show.  The input
39              value should be in hex (0b, 1a, etc.), as shown from the  sensor
40              SDR  output.   By default, all FRU IDs that are specified in the
41              FRU locator SDRs are shown.
42
43       -m 002000
44              Show FRU for a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun  00).   This
45              could  be  used  for  PICMG or ATCA blade systems.  The trailing
46              character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if 's', or  IPMB
47              addressing if 'i' or not present.
48
49       -s serial_num
50              This  option  specifies  a serial number string to be written to
51              the baseboard FRU Product area.  The serial number  can  be  any
52              string  up  to 16 characters.  The default is to not modify this
53              FRU field.
54
55       -v prod_ver
56              This option specifies a product  version  number  string  to  be
57              written  to  the baseboard FRU Product area.  The version number
58              can be any string up to 16 characters.  The default  is  to  not
59              modify this FRU field.
60
61       -x     Causes eXtra debug messages to be displayed.
62
63       -N nodename
64              Nodename  or IP address of the remote target system.  If a node‐
65              name is specified, IPMI LAN interface is  used.   Otherwise  the
66              local system management interface is used.
67
68       -U rmt_user
69              Remote  username  for the nodename given.  The default is a null
70              username.
71
72       -P/-R rmt_pswd
73              Remote password for the nodename given.  The default is  a  null
74              password.
75
76       -E     Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD.
77
78       -F drv_t
79              Force  the  driver  type  to one of the followng: imb, va, open,
80              gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb.  Note that lan2i means
81              lan2  with  intelplus.   The  default is to detect any available
82              driver type and use it.
83
84       -J     Use  the  specified  LanPlus   cipher   suite   (0   thru   14):
85              0=none/none/none,       1=sha1/none/none,      2=sha1/sha1/none,
86              3=sha1/sha1/cbc128,  4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128,  5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40,
87              6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40.  Default is 3.
88
89       -T     Use  a  specified  IPMI  LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2,
90              2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM.
91
92       -V     Use a specified IPMI  LAN  privilege  level.  1=Callback  level,
93              2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default),
94              5=OEM level.
95
96       -Y     Yes, do prompt the  user  for  the  IPMI  LAN  remote  password.
97              Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.
