13 ipmiutil health is a program that uses IPMI commands to show the health
14 of the BMC. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from
15 OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from
16 valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N.

20 Command line options are described below.
21
22
23 -c Show canonical, delimited output.
24
25 -f Show the FRUSDR version also.
26
27 -g Show the IPMI GUID of this system. The GUID is a read-only
28 unique identifier.
29
30 -h Check the health of the HotSwap Controller also.
31
32 -l Show the IPMI LAN channel statistics also.
33
34 -m 002000
35 Target a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). This could
36 be used for PICMG or ATCA blade systems. The trailing charac‐
37 ter, if present, indicates SMI addressing if 's', or IPMB
38 addressing if 'i' or not present.
39
40 -n string
41 Set the System Name to this string in the IPMI System Informa‐

43
44 -o string
45 Set the Primary Operating System to this string in the IPMI Sys‐

47
48 -p 1 Set the chassis Power restore policy, governing the desired

50 off, 1 = last state, 2 = always on.
51
52 -q string

57
58 -x Causes extra debug messages to be displayed.
59
60 -N nodename
61 Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a node‐

68
69 -U rmt_user
70 Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null

72
73 -E Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD.
74
75 -F drv_t
76 Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open,
77 gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means
78 lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available
79 driver type and use it.
80
81 -J Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17):
82 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none,
83 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40,
84 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3.
85
86 -T Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2,
87 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM.
