GENERAL OPTIONS

21       The following options are general options for configuring IPMI communi‐
22       cation and executing general tool commands.
23
24       -D IPMIDRIVER, --driver-type=IPMIDRIVER
25              Specify the driver type to use instead of doing an  auto  selec‐
26              tion.   The  currently  available  outofband drivers are LAN and
27              LAN_2_0, which perform IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0  respectively.  The
28              currently  available  inband  drivers  are  KCS, SSIF, OPENIPMI,
29              SUNBMC, and INTELDCMI.
30
31       --disable-auto-probe
32              Do not probe in-band IPMI devices for default settings.
33
34       --driver-address=DRIVER-ADDRESS
35              Specify the in-band driver address to be  used  instead  of  the
36              probed  value. DRIVER-ADDRESS should be prefixed with "0x" for a
37              hex value and '0' for an octal value.
38
39       --driver-device=DEVICE
40              Specify the in-band driver device path to be used instead of the
41              probed path.
42
43       --register-spacing=REGISTER-SPACING
44              Specify  the  in-band  driver  register  spacing  instead of the
45              probed value. Argument is in bytes (i.e. 32bit register  spacing
46              = 4)
47
48       --target-channel-number=CHANNEL-NUMBER
49              Specify  the  in-band  driver target channel number to send IPMI
50              requests to.
51
52       --target-slave-address=SLAVE-ADDRESS
53              Specify the in-band driver target  slave  number  to  send  IPMI
54              requests to.
55
56       -h      IPMIHOST1,IPMIHOST2,...,      --hostname=IPMIHOST1[:PORT],IPMI‐
57       HOST2[:PORT],...
58              Specify the remote host(s) to communicate with.  Multiple  host‐
59              names  may  be separated by comma or may be specified in a range
60              format; see HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below. An optional  port  can  be
61              specified with each host, which may be useful in port forwarding
62              or similar situations.  If specifying an IPv6 address and  port,
63              use the format [ADDRESS]:PORT.
64
65       -u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
66              Specify  the username to use when authenticating with the remote
67              host.  If not specified, a null  (i.e.  anonymous)  username  is
68              assumed. The required user privilege will depend on the raw com‐
69              mands executed.
70
71       -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
72              Specify the password to use when authenticationg with the remote
73              host.   If  not  specified,  a null password is assumed. Maximum
74              password length is 16 for IPMI 1.5 and 20 for IPMI 2.0.
75
76       -P, --password-prompt
77              Prompt for password  to  avoid  possibility  of  listing  it  in
78              process lists.
79
80       -k K_G, --k-g=K_G
81              Specify  the  K_g  BMC  key  to use when authenticating with the
82              remote host for IPMI 2.0.  If  not  specified,  a  null  key  is
83              assumed. To input the key in hexadecimal form, prefix the string
84              with '0x'. E.g., the key 'abc' can be entered  with  the  either
85              the string 'abc' or the string '0x616263'
86
87       -K, --k-g-prompt
88              Prompt  for  k-g  to  avoid possibility of listing it in process
89              lists.
90
91       --session-timeout=MILLISECONDS
92              Specify the session timeout in milliseconds. Defaults  to  20000
93              milliseconds (20 seconds) if not specified.
94
95       --retransmission-timeout=MILLISECONDS
96              Specify  the  packet  retransmission  timeout  in  milliseconds.
97              Defaults to 1000 milliseconds (1 second) if not  specified.  The
98              retransmission  timeout  cannot be larger than the session time‐
99              out.
100
101       -a AUTHENTICATION-TYPE, --authentication-type=AUTHENTICATION-TYPE
102              Specify the IPMI 1.5 authentication type to use.  The  currently
103              available  authentication types are NONE, STRAIGHT_PASSWORD_KEY,
104              MD2, and MD5. Defaults to MD5 if not specified.
105
106       -I CIPHER-SUITE-ID, --cipher-suite-id=CIPHER-SUITE-ID
107              Specify the IPMI 2.0 cipher suite ID to use. The Cipher Suite ID
108              identifies a set of authentication, integrity, and confidential‐
109              ity algorithms to use for IPMI 2.0 communication. The  authenti‐
110              cation  algorithm  identifies  the  algorithm to use for session
111              setup, the integrity algorithm identifies the algorithm  to  use
112              for session packet signatures, and the confidentiality algorithm
113              identifies the algorithm to use for payload encryption. Defaults
114              to  cipher  suite  ID  3  if not specified. The following cipher
115              suite ids are currently supported:

145              = None; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
146
147              16 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
148              = HMAC_SHA256_128; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
149
150              17 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
151              = HMAC_SHA256_128; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128
152
153       -l PRIVILEGE-LEVEL, --privilege-level=PRIVILEGE-LEVEL
154              Specify the privilege level to be used. The currently  available
155              privilege  levels  are  USER,  OPERATOR,  and ADMIN. Defaults to
156              ADMIN if not specified.
157
158       --config-file=FILE
159              Specify an alternate configuration file.
160
161       -W WORKAROUNDS, --workaround-flags=WORKAROUNDS
162              Specify workarounds to vendor compliance issues. Multiple  work‐
163              arounds  can be specified separated by commas. A special command
164              line flag of "none", will indicate no workarounds (may be useful
165              for overriding configured defaults). See WORKAROUNDS below for a
166              list of available workarounds.
167
168       --debug
169              Turn on debugging.
170
171       -?, --help
172              Output a help list and exit.
173

176
177       -V, --version
178              Output the program version and exit.
179

IPMI-RAW OPTIONS

181       The following options are specific to ipmi-raw.
182
183       --file=CMD-FILE
184              Specify a file to read command requests from.
185
186       --no-session
187              If performing out of band communication,  do  not  establish  an
188              IPMI  session  and send raw packets without having established a
189              session/authenticating. This option is predominantly for testing
190              the  few  IPMI  packets  that  can work outside of a session and
191              should not be used by the majority of users.
192

HOSTRANGED OPTIONS

194       The following options manipulate hostranged output. See HOSTRANGED SUP‐
195       PORT below for additional information on hostranges.
196
197       -B, --buffer-output
198              Buffer  hostranged output. For each node, buffer standard output
199              until the node has completed its IPMI operation. When specifying
200              this  option, data may appear to output slower to the user since
201              the the entire IPMI operation must complete before any data  can
202              be output.  See HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional informa‐
203              tion.
204
205       -C, --consolidate-output
206              Consolidate hostranged output. The complete standard output from
207              every  node  specified  will  be consolidated so that nodes with
208              identical output are not output twice. A header will list  those
209              nodes  with  the consolidated output. When this option is speci‐
210              fied, no output can be seen until the  IPMI  operations  to  all
211              nodes  has  completed.  If  the  user  breaks out of the program
212              early, all currently consolidated output  will  be  dumped.  See
213              HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional information.
214
215       -F NUM, --fanout=NUM
216              Specify  multiple  host  fanout.  A "sliding window" (or fanout)
217              algorithm is used for parallel IPMI communication so that slower
218              nodes or timed out nodes will not impede parallel communication.
219              The maximum number of threads available at the same time is lim‐
220              ited by the fanout. The default is 64.
221
222       -E, --eliminate
223              Eliminate  hosts  determined  as undetected by ipmidetect.  This
224              attempts to remove the common issue of hostranged execution tim‐
225              ing  out  due  to  several nodes being removed from service in a
226              large cluster. The ipmidetectd daemon must  be  running  on  the
227              node executing the command.
228
229       --always-prefix
230              Always prefix output, even if only one host is specified or com‐
231              municating in-band. This option is primarily useful for  script‐
232              ing  purposes.  Option  will be ignored if specified with the -C
233              option.
234

HOSTRANGED SUPPORT

236       Multiple hosts can be input either as an explicit comma separated lists
237       of  hosts  or  a  range of hostnames in the general form: prefix[n-m,l-
238       k,...], where n < m and l < k, etc. The later form should not  be  con‐
239       fused  with  regular expression character classes (also denoted by []).
240       For example, foo[19] does not represent foo1 or foo9, but rather repre‐
241       sents a degenerate range: foo19.
242
243       This  range  syntax  is  meant only as a convenience on clusters with a
244       prefixNN naming convention and specification of ranges  should  not  be
245       considered  necessary -- the list foo1,foo9 could be specified as such,
246       or by the range foo[1,9].
247
248       Some examples of range usage follow:
249           foo[01-05] instead of foo01,foo02,foo03,foo04,foo05
250           foo[7,9-10] instead of foo7,foo9,foo10
251           foo[0-3] instead of foo0,foo1,foo2,foo3
252
253       As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and
254       ])  for  pattern matching. Depending on your shell, it may be necessary
255       to enclose ranged lists within quotes.
256
257       When multiple hosts are specified by the user, a thread  will  be  exe‐
258       cuted  for each host in parallel up to the configured fanout (which can
259       be adjusted via the -F option). This will allow communication to  large
260       numbers of nodes far more quickly than if done in serial.
261
262       By  default,  standard  output  from each node specified will be output
263       with the hostname prepended to each line. Although this output is read‐
264       able  in  many  situations, it may be difficult to read in other situa‐
265       tions. For example, output from multiple nodes may be  mixed  together.
266       The -B and -C options can be used to change this default.
267
268       In-band  IPMI  Communication  will be used when the host "localhost" is
269       specified. This allows the user to add  the  localhost  into  the  hos‐
270       tranged output.
271

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING

273       Most often, IPMI problems are due to configuration problems.
274
275       IPMI  over  LAN  problems  involve  a  misconfiguration  of  the remote
276       machine's BMC.  Double check to make sure the following are  configured
277       properly  in  the remote machine's BMC: IP address, MAC address, subnet
278       mask, username, user enablement, user privilege, password,  LAN  privi‐
279       lege,  LAN enablement, and allowed authentication type(s). For IPMI 2.0
280       connections, double check to make sure the  cipher  suite  privilege(s)
281       and  K_g  key  are  configured properly. The ipmi-config(8) tool can be
282       used to check and/or change these configuration settings.
283
284       Inband IPMI problems are  typically  caused  by  improperly  configured
285       drivers or non-standard BMCs.
286
287       In  addition  to the troubleshooting tips below, please see WORKAROUNDS
288       below to also if there are any vendor specific bugs that have been dis‐
289       covered and worked around.
290
291       Listed  below  are  many  of the common issues for error messages.  For
292       additional support, please e-mail the <freeipmi-users@gnu.org>  mailing
293       list.
294
295       "username  invalid"  - The username entered (or a NULL username if none
296       was entered) is not available on the remote machine.  It  may  also  be
297       possible the remote BMC's username configuration is incorrect.
298
299       "password  invalid"  - The password entered (or a NULL password if none
300       was entered) is not correct. It may also be possible the  password  for
301       the user is not correctly configured on the remote BMC.
302
303       "password  verification timeout" - Password verification has timed out.
304       A "password invalid" error (described  above)  or  a  generic  "session
305       timeout" (described below) occurred.  During this point in the protocol
306       it cannot be differentiated which occurred.
307
308       "k_g invalid" - The K_g key entered (or a NULL  K_g  key  if  none  was
309       entered)  is  not  correct.  It may also be possible the K_g key is not
310       correctly configured on the remote BMC.
311
312       "privilege level insufficient" - An IPMI command requires a higher user
313       privilege  than  the one authenticated with. Please try to authenticate
314       with a higher privilege. This may require authenticating to a different
315       user which has a higher maximum privilege.
316
317       "privilege  level  cannot  be  obtained  for this user" - The privilege
318       level you are attempting to authenticate with is higher than the  maxi‐
319       mum  allowed for this user. Please try again with a lower privilege. It
320       may also be possible the maximum privilege level allowed for a user  is
321       not configured properly on the remote BMC.
322
323       "authentication  type  unavailable for attempted privilege level" - The
324       authentication type you wish to authenticate with is not available  for
325       this privilege level. Please try again with an alternate authentication
326       type or alternate privilege level. It may also be possible  the  avail‐
327       able  authentication  types you can authenticate with are not correctly
328       configured on the remote BMC.
329
330       "cipher suite id unavailable" - The cipher suite id you wish to authen‐
331       ticate  with  is not available on the remote BMC. Please try again with
332       an alternate cipher suite id. It may also  be  possible  the  available
333       cipher suite ids are not correctly configured on the remote BMC.
334
335       "ipmi  2.0  unavailable"  -  IPMI  2.0 was not discovered on the remote
336       machine. Please try to use IPMI 1.5 instead.
337
338       "connection timeout" - Initial IPMI communication failed. A  number  of
339       potential errors are possible, including an invalid hostname specified,
340       an IPMI IP address cannot be resolved,  IPMI  is  not  enabled  on  the
341       remote  server,  the network connection is bad, etc. Please verify con‐
342       figuration and connectivity.
343
344       "session timeout" - The IPMI session has timed out.  Please  reconnect.
345       If this error occurs often, you may wish to increase the retransmission
346       timeout. Some remote BMCs are considerably slower than others.
347
348       "device not found" - The specified device could not  be  found.  Please
349       check configuration or inputs and try again.
350
351       "driver  timeout"  -  Communication with the driver or device has timed
352       out. Please try again.
353
354       "message timeout" - Communication with the driver or device  has  timed
355       out. Please try again.
356
357       "BMC  busy"  - The BMC is currently busy. It may be processing informa‐
358       tion or have too many simultaneous sessions to manage. Please wait  and
359       try again.
360
361       "could  not  find inband device" - An inband device could not be found.
362       Please check configuration or specify specific device or driver on  the
363       command line.
364
365       "driver timeout" - The inband driver has timed out communicating to the
366       local BMC or service processor. The BMC or  service  processor  may  be
367       busy or (worst case) possibly non-functioning.
368
369       "internal  IPMI  error" - An IPMI error has occurred that FreeIPMI does
370       not know how  to  handle.  Please  e-mail  <freeipmi-users@gnu.org>  to
371       report the issue.

WORKAROUNDS

374       With  so  many different vendors implementing their own IPMI solutions,
375       different vendors may implement their IPMI protocols  incorrectly.  The
376       following describes a number of workarounds currently available to han‐
377       dle discovered compliance issues. When possible, workarounds have  been
378       implemented so they will be transparent to the user. However, some will
379       require the user to specify a workaround be used via the -W option.
380
381       The hardware listed below may only indicate the hardware that a problem
382       was  discovered  on.  Newer  versions  of hardware may fix the problems
383       indicated below. Similar machines from vendors may or may  not  exhibit
384       the  same  problems.  Different vendors may license their firmware from
385       the same IPMI firmware developer, so it may be worthwhile to try  work‐
386       arounds listed below even if your motherboard is not listed.
387
388       If  you  believe  your hardware has an additional compliance issue that
389       needs a workaround to be implemented, please contact the FreeIPMI main‐
390       tainers on <freeipmi-users@gnu.org> or <freeipmi-devel@gnu.org>.
391
392       assumeio  - This workaround flag will assume inband interfaces communi‐
393       cate with system I/O rather than being memory-mapped.  This  will  work
394       around  systems  that report invalid base addresses. Those hitting this
395       issue may see "device not supported" or "could not find inband  device"
396       errors.  Issue observed on HP ProLiant DL145 G1.
397
398       spinpoll  -  This workaround flag will inform some inband drivers (most
399       notably the KCS driver) to spin while polling rather than  putting  the
400       process to sleep. This may significantly improve the wall clock running
401       time of tools because an operating system scheduler's  granularity  may
402       be  much larger than the time it takes to perform a single IPMI message
403       transaction. However, by spinning, your system may be  performing  less
404       useful work by not contexting out the tool for a more useful task.
405
406       authcap  -  This  workaround  flag  will skip early checks for username
407       capabilities, authentication capabilities, and K_g  support  and  allow
408       IPMI  authentication  to  succeed.  It  works around multiple issues in
409       which the remote system does not properly report username capabilities,
410       authentication  capabilities,  or  K_g status. Those hitting this issue
411       may  see  "username  invalid",  "authentication  type  unavailable  for
412       attempted privilege level", or "k_g invalid" errors.  Issue observed on
413       Asus  P5M2/P5MT-R/RS162-E4/RX4,  Intel  SR1520ML/X38ML,  and  Sun  Fire
414       2200/4150/4450 with ELOM.
415
416       nochecksumcheck  - This workaround flag will tell FreeIPMI to not check
417       the checksums returned from IPMI command  responses.  It  works  around
418       systems that return invalid checksums due to implementation errors, but
419       the packet is otherwise valid. Users are cautioned on the use  of  this
420       option,  as  it  removes  validation of packet integrity in a number of
421       circumstances. However, it is unlikely to be an issue  in  most  situa‐
422       tions.  Those hitting this issue may see "connection timeout", "session
423       timeout", or "password verification timeout" errors. On IPMI  1.5  con‐
424       nections,  the  "noauthcodecheck" workaround may also needed too. Issue
425       observed on Supermicro X9SCM-iiF, Supermicro  X9DRi-F,  and  Supermicro
426       X9DRFR.
427
428       idzero  -  This  workaround  flag  will  allow  empty session IDs to be
429       accepted by the client. It works around IPMI sessions that report empty
430       session  IDs  to  the client. Those hitting this issue may see "session
431       timeout" errors. Issue observed on Tyan S2882 with M3289 BMC.
432
433       unexpectedauth - This workaround flag will  allow  unexpected  non-null
434       authcodes  to  be checked as though they were expected. It works around
435       an issue when packets contain non-null authentication  data  when  they
436       should  be  null due to disabled per-message authentication. Those hit‐
437       ting this issue may see "session timeout"  errors.  Issue  observed  on
438       Dell PowerEdge 2850,SC1425. Confirmed fixed on newer firmware.
439
440       forcepermsg  -  This workaround flag will force per-message authentica‐
441       tion to be used no matter what is advertised by the remote  system.  It
442       works  around an issue when per-message authentication is advertised as
443       disabled on the remote system, but it is actually required for the pro‐
444       tocol.  Those  hitting  this  issue  may  see "session timeout" errors.
445       Issue observed on IBM eServer 325.
446
447       endianseq - This workaround flag will flip the endian  of  the  session
448       sequence  numbers  to  allow the session to continue properly. It works
449       around IPMI 1.5 session sequence numbers that  are  the  wrong  endian.
450       Those  hitting  this  issue  may  see  "session  timeout" errors. Issue
451       observed on  some  Sun  ILOM  1.0/2.0  (depends  on  service  processor
452       endian).
453
454       noauthcodecheck  - This workaround flag will tell FreeIPMI to not check
455       the authentication codes returned from IPMI 1.5 command  responses.  It
456       works  around  systems  that return invalid authentication codes due to
457       hashing or implementation errors. Users are cautioned  on  the  use  of
458       this option, as it removes an authentication check verifying the valid‐
459       ity of a packet. However, in most organizations, this is unlikely to be
460       a  security  issue.  Those hitting this issue may see "connection time‐
461       out", "session timeout", or  "password  verification  timeout"  errors.
462       Issue  observed  on  Xyratex FB-H8-SRAY, Intel Windmill, Quanta Winter‐
463       fell, and Wiwynn Windmill.
464
465       intel20 - This workaround flag will work around several Intel IPMI  2.0
466       authentication issues. The issues covered include padding of usernames,
467       and password  truncation  if  the  authentication  algorithm  is  HMAC-
468       MD5-128. Those hitting this issue may see "username invalid", "password
469       invalid", or "k_g invalid" errors. Issue observed  on  Intel  SE7520AF2
470       with Intel Server Management Module (Professional Edition).
471
472       supermicro20 - This workaround flag will work around several Supermicro
473       IPMI 2.0  authentication  issues  on  motherboards  w/  Peppercon  IPMI
474       firmware.  The issues covered include handling invalid length authenti‐
475       cation codes. Those hitting  this  issue  may  see  "password  invalid"
476       errors.   Issue  observed on Supermicro H8QME with SIMSO daughter card.
477       Confirmed fixed on newerver firmware.
478
479       sun20 - This workaround flag will work work around several Sun IPMI 2.0
480       authentication issues. The issues covered include invalid lengthed hash
481       keys, improperly hashed keys, and invalid cipher suite  records.  Those
482       hitting  this  issue  may see "password invalid" or "bmc error" errors.
483       Issue observed on Sun Fire 4100/4200/4500 with ILOM.   This  workaround
484       automatically includes the "opensesspriv" workaround.
485
486       opensesspriv - This workaround flag will slightly alter FreeIPMI's IPMI
487       2.0 connection protocol to workaround an invalid hashing algorithm used
488       by  the remote system. The privilege level sent during the Open Session
489       stage of an IPMI 2.0 connection is used for hashing keys instead of the
490       privilege  level  sent during the RAKP1 connection stage. Those hitting
491       this issue may see "password invalid", "k_g invalid", or "bad  rmcpplus
492       status  code"  errors.   Issue observed on Sun Fire 4100/4200/4500 with
493       ILOM, Inventec 5441/Dell Xanadu II, Supermicro X8DTH, Supermicro X8DTG,
494       Intel  S5500WBV/Penguin  Relion  700,  Intel S2600JF/Appro 512X, Quanta
495       QSSC-S4R/Appro GB812X-CN, and Dell C5220. This workaround is  automati‐
496       cally triggered with the "sun20" workaround.
497
498       integritycheckvalue  - This workaround flag will work around an invalid
499       integrity check value during an IPMI  2.0  session  establishment  when
500       using  Cipher Suite ID 0. The integrity check value should be 0 length,
501       however the remote motherboard responds with a non-empty  field.  Those
502       hitting  this  issue  may  see  "k_g invalid" errors. Issue observed on
503       Supermicro X8DTG, Supermicro X8DTU, and Intel  S5500WBV/Penguin  Relion
504       700, and Intel S2600JF/Appro 512X.
505
506       No IPMI 1.5 Support - Some motherboards that support IPMI 2.0 have been
507       found to not support IPMI 1.5. Those hitting this issue may  see  "ipmi
508       2.0  unavailable"  or  "connection  timeout"  errors. This issue can be
509       worked around by using IPMI 2.0  instead  of  IPMI  1.5  by  specifying
510       --driver-type=LAN_2_0.  Issue observed on a number of HP and Supermicro
511       motherboards.

517
518       # ipmi-raw -h ahost -u myusername -p mypassword 0 6 01
519
520       Execute command 0x01 with LUN 0x0 and NETFN 0x06 on  a  remote  machine
521       using IPMI over LAN.
522
523       # ipmi-raw -h mycluster[0-127] -u myusername -p mypassword 0 6 01
524
525       Execute command 0x01 with LUN 0x0 and NETFN 0x06 across a cluster using
526       IPMI over LAN.
527
528       # ipmi-raw
529
530       Read LUN, NETFN, command and request data from standard input.
531
532       # ipmi-raw -f command-file
533
534       Read LUN/FN, command and request data from given file instead of  stan‐
535       dard input.
536
537       # ipmi-raw < command-file
538
539       Read LUN, NETFN, command and request data from file as standard input.
540

DIAGNOSTICS

542       Upon  successful  execution, exit status is 0. On error, exit status is
543       1.
544
545       If multiple hosts are specified for communication, the exit status is 0
546       if  and  only  if  all targets successfully execute. Otherwise the exit
547       status is 1.
548

KNOWN ISSUES

550       On older operating systems, if you input your username,  password,  and
551       other  potentially  security  relevant information on the command line,
552       this information may be discovered by other users when using tools like
553       the  ps(1) command or looking in the /proc file system. It is generally
554       more secure to input password information with options like the  -P  or
555       -K  options.  Configuring security relevant information in the FreeIPMI
556       configuration file would also be an appropriate way to hide this infor‐
557       mation.
558
559       In  order  to  prevent  brute force attacks, some BMCs will temporarily
560       "lock up" after a number of remote authentication errors. You may  need
561       to  wait awhile in order to this temporary "lock up" to pass before you
562       may authenticate again.
