9 ipmi-dcmi [OPTION...]
10
12 Ipmi-dcmi is used to execute Data Center Manageability Interface (often
13 referred to as DCM or DCMI) IPMI extension commands. DCMI extensions
14 include support for asset management and power usage management. Most
15 will be interested in DCMI for its power management features. By con‐
16 figuring an exception action, power limit, and correction time limit,
17 power usage in a data center can be managed more affectively. Please
18 see --set-power-limit option below for more information. DCMI can also
19 be configured using the dcmi category in ipmi-config(8). The DCMI
20 specification encompasses many traditional IPMI features that are not
21 implemented directly in this tool. Please see ipmiconsole(8) for
22 Serial-over-LAN (SOL) support, ipmi-chassis(8) for power status, power
23 control, identification, and ACPI power state information, ipmipower(8)
24 for power status and power control, ipmi-sel(8) for System Event Log
25 (SEL) information, bmc-info(8) for device and globally unique ID (guid)
26 information, ipmi-sensors(8) for sensor readings, and ipmi-config(8)
27 for configuration.
28 Listed below are general IPMI options, tool specific options, trouble
30 shooting information, workaround information, examples, and known
31 issues. For a general introduction to FreeIPMI please see freeipmi(7).
32
34 The following options are general options for configuring IPMI communi‐
35 cation and executing general tool commands.
36 -D IPMIDRIVER, --driver-type=IPMIDRIVER
38 Specify the driver type to use instead of doing an auto selec‐
39 tion. The currently available outofband drivers are LAN and
40 LAN_2_0, which perform IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 respectively. The
41 currently available inband drivers are KCS, SSIF, OPENIPMI,
42 SUNBMC, and INTELDCMI.
43 --disable-auto-probe
45 Do not probe in-band IPMI devices for default settings.
46 --driver-address=DRIVER-ADDRESS
48 Specify the in-band driver address to be used instead of the
49 probed value. DRIVER-ADDRESS should be prefixed with "0x" for a
50 hex value and '0' for an octal value.
51 --driver-device=DEVICE
53 Specify the in-band driver device path to be used instead of the
54 probed path.
55 --register-spacing=REGISTER-SPACING
57 Specify the in-band driver register spacing instead of the
58 probed value. Argument is in bytes (i.e. 32bit register spacing
59 = 4)
60 --target-channel-number=CHANNEL-NUMBER
62 Specify the in-band driver target channel number to send IPMI
63 requests to.
64 --target-slave-address=SLAVE-ADDRESS
66 Specify the in-band driver target slave number to send IPMI
67 requests to.
68 -h IPMIHOST1,IPMIHOST2,..., --hostname=IPMIHOST1[:PORT],IPMI‐
70 HOST2[:PORT],...
71 Specify the remote host(s) to communicate with. Multiple host‐
72 names may be separated by comma or may be specified in a range
73 format; see HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below. An optional port can be
74 specified with each host, which may be useful in port forwarding
75 or similar situations. If specifying an IPv6 address and port,
76 use the format [ADDRESS]:PORT.
77 -u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
79 Specify the username to use when authenticating with the remote
80 host. If not specified, a null (i.e. anonymous) username is
81 assumed. The user must have atleast ADMIN privileges in order
82 for this tool to operate fully.
83 -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
85 Specify the password to use when authenticationg with the remote
86 host. If not specified, a null password is assumed. Maximum
87 password length is 16 for IPMI 1.5 and 20 for IPMI 2.0.
88 -P, --password-prompt
90 Prompt for password to avoid possibility of listing it in
91 process lists.
92 -k K_G, --k-g=K_G
94 Specify the K_g BMC key to use when authenticating with the
95 remote host for IPMI 2.0. If not specified, a null key is
96 assumed. To input the key in hexadecimal form, prefix the string
97 with '0x'. E.g., the key 'abc' can be entered with the either
98 the string 'abc' or the string '0x616263'
99 -K, --k-g-prompt
101 Prompt for k-g to avoid possibility of listing it in process
102 lists.
103 --session-timeout=MILLISECONDS
105 Specify the session timeout in milliseconds. Defaults to 20000
106 milliseconds (20 seconds) if not specified.
107 --retransmission-timeout=MILLISECONDS
109 Specify the packet retransmission timeout in milliseconds.
110 Defaults to 1000 milliseconds (1 second) if not specified. The
111 retransmission timeout cannot be larger than the session time‐
112 out.
113 -a AUTHENTICATION-TYPE, --authentication-type=AUTHENTICATION-TYPE
115 Specify the IPMI 1.5 authentication type to use. The currently
116 available authentication types are NONE, STRAIGHT_PASSWORD_KEY,
117 MD2, and MD5. Defaults to MD5 if not specified.
118 -I CIPHER-SUITE-ID, --cipher-suite-id=CIPHER-SUITE-ID
120 Specify the IPMI 2.0 cipher suite ID to use. The Cipher Suite ID
121 identifies a set of authentication, integrity, and confidential‐
122 ity algorithms to use for IPMI 2.0 communication. The authenti‐
123 cation algorithm identifies the algorithm to use for session
124 setup, the integrity algorithm identifies the algorithm to use
125 for session packet signatures, and the confidentiality algorithm
126 identifies the algorithm to use for payload encryption. Defaults
127 to cipher suite ID 3 if not specified. The following cipher
128 suite ids are currently supported:
129 0 - Authentication Algorithm = None; Integrity Algorithm = None;
131 Confidentiality Algorithm = None
132 1 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA1; Integrity Algorithm =
134 None; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
135 2 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA1; Integrity Algorithm =
137 HMAC-SHA1-96; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
138 3 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA1; Integrity Algorithm =
140 HMAC-SHA1-96; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128
141 6 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm =
143 None; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
144 7 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm =
146 HMAC-MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
147 8 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm =
149 HMAC-MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128
150 11 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm =
152 MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
153 12 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm =
155 MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128
156 15 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
158 = None; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
159 16 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
161 = HMAC_SHA256_128; Confidentiality Algorithm = None
162 17 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
164 = HMAC_SHA256_128; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128
165 -l PRIVILEGE-LEVEL, --privilege-level=PRIVILEGE-LEVEL
167 Specify the privilege level to be used. The currently available
168 privilege levels are USER, OPERATOR, and ADMIN. Defaults to
169 ADMIN if not specified.
170 --config-file=FILE
172 Specify an alternate configuration file.
173 -W WORKAROUNDS, --workaround-flags=WORKAROUNDS
175 Specify workarounds to vendor compliance issues. Multiple work‐
176 arounds can be specified separated by commas. A special command
177 line flag of "none", will indicate no workarounds (may be useful
178 for overriding configured defaults). See WORKAROUNDS below for a
179 list of available workarounds.
180 --debug
182 Turn on debugging.
183 -?, --help
185 Output a help list and exit.
186 --usage
188 Output a usage message and exit.
189 -V, --version
191 Output the program version and exit.
192
194 The following options are specific to ipmi-dcmi.
195 --get-dcmi-capability-info

198 --get-asset-tag
200 Get asset tag.
201 --set-asset-tag=STRING
203 Set asset tag.
204 --get-management-controller-identifier-string
206 Get management controller identifier string tag.
207 --set-management-controller-identifier-string=STRING
209 Set management controller identifier string tag.
210 --get-dcmi-sensor-info

216 --get-enhanced-system-power-statistics
218 Get enhanced system power statistics.
219 --get-power-limit
221 Get power limit information.
222 --set-power-limit
224 Set power limit configuration. Can specify configuration via the
225 --exception-actions, --power-limit-requested, --correc‐
226 tion-time-limit, and --correction-time-limit options listed
227 below. If one or more options below are not specified, current
228 configuration will be utilized.
229 --exception-actions=BITMASK
231 Specify exception actions for set power limit configuration.
232 Special case allowable values: NO_ACTION, HARD_POWER_OFF_SYSTEM,
233 LOG_EVENT_TO_SEL_ONLY. Other values (e.g. 0x02 through 0x10) are
234 OEM dependent. Used with the --set-power-limit option.
235 --power-limit-requested=WATTS
237 Specify power limit for set power limit configuration. Input is
238 specified in watts. Used with the --set-power-limit option.
239 --correction-time-limit=MILLISECONDS
241 Specify correction time limit for set power limit configuration.
242 Input is specified in milliseconds. Used with the
243 --set-power-limit option.
244 --statistics-sampling-period=SECONDS
246 Specify management application statistics sampling period for
247 set power limit configuration. Input is specified in seconds.
248 Used with the --set-power-limit option.
249 --activate-deactivate-power-limit=OPERATION
251 Activate or deactivate power limit. Allowed values: ACTIVATE,
252 DEACTIVATE.
253 --interpret-oem-data
255 Attempt to interpret OEM data, such as event data, sensor read‐
256 ings, or general extra info, etc. If an OEM interpretation is
257 not available, the default output will be generated. Correctness
258 of OEM interpretations cannot be guaranteed due to potential
259 changes OEM vendors may make in products, firmware, etc. See OEM
260 INTERPRETATION below for confirmed supported motherboard inter‐
261 pretations.
262
264 By IPMI definition, all IPMI times and timestamps are stored in local‐
265 time. However, in many situations, the timestamps will not be stored in
266 localtime. Whether or not a system truly stored the timestamps in
267 localtime varies on many factors, such as the vendor, BIOS, and operat‐
268 ing system. The following options will allow the user to adjust the
269 interpretation of the stored timestamps and how they should be output.
270 --utc-to-localtime
272 Assume all times are reported in UTC time and convert the time
273 to localtime before being output.
274 --localtime-to-utc
276 Convert all localtime timestamps to UTC before being output.
277 --utc-offset=SECONDS
279 Specify a specific UTC offset in seconds to be added to time‐
280 stamps. Value can range from -86400 to 86400 seconds. Defaults
281 to 0.
282
284 The following options manipulate hostranged output. See HOSTRANGED SUP‐
285 PORT below for additional information on hostranges.
286 -B, --buffer-output
288 Buffer hostranged output. For each node, buffer standard output
289 until the node has completed its IPMI operation. When specifying
290 this option, data may appear to output slower to the user since
291 the the entire IPMI operation must complete before any data can
292 be output. See HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional informa‐
293 tion.
294 -C, --consolidate-output
296 Consolidate hostranged output. The complete standard output from
297 every node specified will be consolidated so that nodes with
298 identical output are not output twice. A header will list those
299 nodes with the consolidated output. When this option is speci‐
300 fied, no output can be seen until the IPMI operations to all
301 nodes has completed. If the user breaks out of the program
302 early, all currently consolidated output will be dumped. See
303 HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional information.
304 -F NUM, --fanout=NUM
306 Specify multiple host fanout. A "sliding window" (or fanout)
307 algorithm is used for parallel IPMI communication so that slower
308 nodes or timed out nodes will not impede parallel communication.
309 The maximum number of threads available at the same time is lim‐
310 ited by the fanout. The default is 64.
311 -E, --eliminate
313 Eliminate hosts determined as undetected by ipmidetect. This
314 attempts to remove the common issue of hostranged execution tim‐
315 ing out due to several nodes being removed from service in a
316 large cluster. The ipmidetectd daemon must be running on the
317 node executing the command.
318 --always-prefix
320 Always prefix output, even if only one host is specified or com‐
321 municating in-band. This option is primarily useful for script‐
322 ing purposes. Option will be ignored if specified with the -C
323 option.
324
326 Multiple hosts can be input either as an explicit comma separated lists
327 of hosts or a range of hostnames in the general form: prefix[n-m,l-
328 k,...], where n < m and l < k, etc. The later form should not be con‐
329 fused with regular expression character classes (also denoted by []).
330 For example, foo[19] does not represent foo1 or foo9, but rather repre‐
331 sents a degenerate range: foo19.
332 This range syntax is meant only as a convenience on clusters with a
334 prefixNN naming convention and specification of ranges should not be
335 considered necessary -- the list foo1,foo9 could be specified as such,
336 or by the range foo[1,9].
337 Some examples of range usage follow:
339 foo[01-05] instead of foo01,foo02,foo03,foo04,foo05
340 foo[7,9-10] instead of foo7,foo9,foo10
341 foo[0-3] instead of foo0,foo1,foo2,foo3
342 As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and
344 ]) for pattern matching. Depending on your shell, it may be necessary
345 to enclose ranged lists within quotes.
346 When multiple hosts are specified by the user, a thread will be exe‐
348 cuted for each host in parallel up to the configured fanout (which can
349 be adjusted via the -F option). This will allow communication to large
350 numbers of nodes far more quickly than if done in serial.
351 By default, standard output from each node specified will be output
353 with the hostname prepended to each line. Although this output is read‐
354 able in many situations, it may be difficult to read in other situa‐
355 tions. For example, output from multiple nodes may be mixed together.
356 The -B and -C options can be used to change this default.
357 In-band IPMI Communication will be used when the host "localhost" is
359 specified. This allows the user to add the localhost into the hos‐
360 tranged output.
361
363 Most often, IPMI problems are due to configuration problems.
364 IPMI over LAN problems involve a misconfiguration of the remote
366 machine's BMC. Double check to make sure the following are configured
367 properly in the remote machine's BMC: IP address, MAC address, subnet
368 mask, username, user enablement, user privilege, password, LAN privi‐
369 lege, LAN enablement, and allowed authentication type(s). For IPMI 2.0
370 connections, double check to make sure the cipher suite privilege(s)
371 and K_g key are configured properly. The ipmi-config(8) tool can be
372 used to check and/or change these configuration settings.
373 Inband IPMI problems are typically caused by improperly configured
375 drivers or non-standard BMCs.
376 In addition to the troubleshooting tips below, please see WORKAROUNDS
378 below to also if there are any vendor specific bugs that have been dis‐
379 covered and worked around.
380 Listed below are many of the common issues for error messages. For
382 additional support, please e-mail the <freeipmi-users@gnu.org> mailing
383 list.
384 "username invalid" - The username entered (or a NULL username if none
386 was entered) is not available on the remote machine. It may also be
387 possible the remote BMC's username configuration is incorrect.
388 "password invalid" - The password entered (or a NULL password if none
390 was entered) is not correct. It may also be possible the password for
391 the user is not correctly configured on the remote BMC.
392 "password verification timeout" - Password verification has timed out.
394 A "password invalid" error (described above) or a generic "session
395 timeout" (described below) occurred. During this point in the protocol
396 it cannot be differentiated which occurred.
397 "k_g invalid" - The K_g key entered (or a NULL K_g key if none was
399 entered) is not correct. It may also be possible the K_g key is not
400 correctly configured on the remote BMC.
401 "privilege level insufficient" - An IPMI command requires a higher user
403 privilege than the one authenticated with. Please try to authenticate
404 with a higher privilege. This may require authenticating to a different
405 user which has a higher maximum privilege.
406 "privilege level cannot be obtained for this user" - The privilege
408 level you are attempting to authenticate with is higher than the maxi‐
409 mum allowed for this user. Please try again with a lower privilege. It
410 may also be possible the maximum privilege level allowed for a user is
411 not configured properly on the remote BMC.
412 "authentication type unavailable for attempted privilege level" - The
414 authentication type you wish to authenticate with is not available for
415 this privilege level. Please try again with an alternate authentication
416 type or alternate privilege level. It may also be possible the avail‐
417 able authentication types you can authenticate with are not correctly
418 configured on the remote BMC.
419 "cipher suite id unavailable" - The cipher suite id you wish to authen‐
421 ticate with is not available on the remote BMC. Please try again with
422 an alternate cipher suite id. It may also be possible the available
423 cipher suite ids are not correctly configured on the remote BMC.
424 "ipmi 2.0 unavailable" - IPMI 2.0 was not discovered on the remote
426 machine. Please try to use IPMI 1.5 instead.
427 "connection timeout" - Initial IPMI communication failed. A number of
429 potential errors are possible, including an invalid hostname specified,
430 an IPMI IP address cannot be resolved, IPMI is not enabled on the
431 remote server, the network connection is bad, etc. Please verify con‐
432 figuration and connectivity.
433 "session timeout" - The IPMI session has timed out. Please reconnect.
435 If this error occurs often, you may wish to increase the retransmission
436 timeout. Some remote BMCs are considerably slower than others.
437 "device not found" - The specified device could not be found. Please
439 check configuration or inputs and try again.
440 "driver timeout" - Communication with the driver or device has timed
442 out. Please try again.
443 "message timeout" - Communication with the driver or device has timed
445 out. Please try again.
446 "BMC busy" - The BMC is currently busy. It may be processing informa‐
448 tion or have too many simultaneous sessions to manage. Please wait and
449 try again.
450 "could not find inband device" - An inband device could not be found.
452 Please check configuration or specify specific device or driver on the
453 command line.
454 "driver timeout" - The inband driver has timed out communicating to the
456 local BMC or service processor. The BMC or service processor may be
457 busy or (worst case) possibly non-functioning.
458 "internal IPMI error" - An IPMI error has occurred that FreeIPMI does
460 not know how to handle. Please e-mail <freeipmi-users@gnu.org> to
461 report the issue.
462
464 With so many different vendors implementing their own IPMI solutions,
465 different vendors may implement their IPMI protocols incorrectly. The
466 following describes a number of workarounds currently available to han‐
467 dle discovered compliance issues. When possible, workarounds have been
468 implemented so they will be transparent to the user. However, some will
469 require the user to specify a workaround be used via the -W option.
470 The hardware listed below may only indicate the hardware that a problem
472 was discovered on. Newer versions of hardware may fix the problems
473 indicated below. Similar machines from vendors may or may not exhibit
474 the same problems. Different vendors may license their firmware from
475 the same IPMI firmware developer, so it may be worthwhile to try work‐
476 arounds listed below even if your motherboard is not listed.
477 If you believe your hardware has an additional compliance issue that
479 needs a workaround to be implemented, please contact the FreeIPMI main‐
480 tainers on <freeipmi-users@gnu.org> or <freeipmi-devel@gnu.org>.
481 assumeio - This workaround flag will assume inband interfaces communi‐
483 cate with system I/O rather than being memory-mapped. This will work
484 around systems that report invalid base addresses. Those hitting this
485 issue may see "device not supported" or "could not find inband device"
486 errors. Issue observed on HP ProLiant DL145 G1.
487 spinpoll - This workaround flag will inform some inband drivers (most
489 notably the KCS driver) to spin while polling rather than putting the
490 process to sleep. This may significantly improve the wall clock running
491 time of tools because an operating system scheduler's granularity may
492 be much larger than the time it takes to perform a single IPMI message
493 transaction. However, by spinning, your system may be performing less
494 useful work by not contexting out the tool for a more useful task.
495 authcap - This workaround flag will skip early checks for username
497 capabilities, authentication capabilities, and K_g support and allow
498 IPMI authentication to succeed. It works around multiple issues in
499 which the remote system does not properly report username capabilities,
500 authentication capabilities, or K_g status. Those hitting this issue
501 may see "username invalid", "authentication type unavailable for
502 attempted privilege level", or "k_g invalid" errors. Issue observed on
503 Asus P5M2/P5MT-R/RS162-E4/RX4, Intel SR1520ML/X38ML, and Sun Fire
504 2200/4150/4450 with ELOM.
505 nochecksumcheck - This workaround flag will tell FreeIPMI to not check
507 the checksums returned from IPMI command responses. It works around
508 systems that return invalid checksums due to implementation errors, but
509 the packet is otherwise valid. Users are cautioned on the use of this
510 option, as it removes validation of packet integrity in a number of
511 circumstances. However, it is unlikely to be an issue in most situa‐
512 tions. Those hitting this issue may see "connection timeout", "session
513 timeout", or "password verification timeout" errors. On IPMI 1.5 con‐
514 nections, the "noauthcodecheck" workaround may also needed too. Issue
515 observed on Supermicro X9SCM-iiF, Supermicro X9DRi-F, and Supermicro
516 X9DRFR.
517 idzero - This workaround flag will allow empty session IDs to be
519 accepted by the client. It works around IPMI sessions that report empty
520 session IDs to the client. Those hitting this issue may see "session
521 timeout" errors. Issue observed on Tyan S2882 with M3289 BMC.
522 unexpectedauth - This workaround flag will allow unexpected non-null
524 authcodes to be checked as though they were expected. It works around
525 an issue when packets contain non-null authentication data when they
526 should be null due to disabled per-message authentication. Those hit‐
527 ting this issue may see "session timeout" errors. Issue observed on
528 Dell PowerEdge 2850,SC1425. Confirmed fixed on newer firmware.
529 forcepermsg - This workaround flag will force per-message authentica‐
531 tion to be used no matter what is advertised by the remote system. It
532 works around an issue when per-message authentication is advertised as
533 disabled on the remote system, but it is actually required for the pro‐
534 tocol. Those hitting this issue may see "session timeout" errors.
535 Issue observed on IBM eServer 325.
536 endianseq - This workaround flag will flip the endian of the session
538 sequence numbers to allow the session to continue properly. It works
539 around IPMI 1.5 session sequence numbers that are the wrong endian.
540 Those hitting this issue may see "session timeout" errors. Issue
541 observed on some Sun ILOM 1.0/2.0 (depends on service processor
542 endian).
543 noauthcodecheck - This workaround flag will tell FreeIPMI to not check
545 the authentication codes returned from IPMI 1.5 command responses. It
546 works around systems that return invalid authentication codes due to
547 hashing or implementation errors. Users are cautioned on the use of
548 this option, as it removes an authentication check verifying the valid‐
549 ity of a packet. However, in most organizations, this is unlikely to be
550 a security issue. Those hitting this issue may see "connection time‐
551 out", "session timeout", or "password verification timeout" errors.
552 Issue observed on Xyratex FB-H8-SRAY, Intel Windmill, Quanta Winter‐
553 fell, and Wiwynn Windmill.
554 intel20 - This workaround flag will work around several Intel IPMI 2.0
556 authentication issues. The issues covered include padding of usernames,
557 and password truncation if the authentication algorithm is HMAC-
558 MD5-128. Those hitting this issue may see "username invalid", "password
559 invalid", or "k_g invalid" errors. Issue observed on Intel SE7520AF2
560 with Intel Server Management Module (Professional Edition).
561 supermicro20 - This workaround flag will work around several Supermicro
563 IPMI 2.0 authentication issues on motherboards w/ Peppercon IPMI
564 firmware. The issues covered include handling invalid length authenti‐
565 cation codes. Those hitting this issue may see "password invalid"
566 errors. Issue observed on Supermicro H8QME with SIMSO daughter card.
567 Confirmed fixed on newerver firmware.
568 sun20 - This workaround flag will work work around several Sun IPMI 2.0
570 authentication issues. The issues covered include invalid lengthed hash
571 keys, improperly hashed keys, and invalid cipher suite records. Those
572 hitting this issue may see "password invalid" or "bmc error" errors.
573 Issue observed on Sun Fire 4100/4200/4500 with ILOM. This workaround
574 automatically includes the "opensesspriv" workaround.
575 opensesspriv - This workaround flag will slightly alter FreeIPMI's IPMI
577 2.0 connection protocol to workaround an invalid hashing algorithm used
578 by the remote system. The privilege level sent during the Open Session
579 stage of an IPMI 2.0 connection is used for hashing keys instead of the
580 privilege level sent during the RAKP1 connection stage. Those hitting
581 this issue may see "password invalid", "k_g invalid", or "bad rmcpplus
582 status code" errors. Issue observed on Sun Fire 4100/4200/4500 with
583 ILOM, Inventec 5441/Dell Xanadu II, Supermicro X8DTH, Supermicro X8DTG,
584 Intel S5500WBV/Penguin Relion 700, Intel S2600JF/Appro 512X, and Quanta
585 QSSC-S4R/Appro GB812X-CN. This workaround is automatically triggered
586 with the "sun20" workaround.
587 integritycheckvalue - This workaround flag will work around an invalid
589 integrity check value during an IPMI 2.0 session establishment when
590 using Cipher Suite ID 0. The integrity check value should be 0 length,
591 however the remote motherboard responds with a non-empty field. Those
592 hitting this issue may see "k_g invalid" errors. Issue observed on
593 Supermicro X8DTG, Supermicro X8DTU, and Intel S5500WBV/Penguin Relion
594 700, and Intel S2600JF/Appro 512X.
595 No IPMI 1.5 Support - Some motherboards that support IPMI 2.0 have been
597 found to not support IPMI 1.5. Those hitting this issue may see "ipmi
598 2.0 unavailable" or "connection timeout" errors. This issue can be
599 worked around by using IPMI 2.0 instead of IPMI 1.5 by specifying
600 --driver-type=LAN_2_0. Issue observed on HP Proliant DL 145.
601
603 The following motherboards are confirmed to have atleast some support
604 by the --interpret-oem-data option. While highly probable the OEM data
605 interpretations would work across other motherboards by the same manu‐
606 facturer, there are no guarantees. Some of the motherboards below may
607 be rebranded by vendors/distributors.
608 Currently None
610
612 # ipmi-dcmi --get-power-limit
613 Get power limit of the local machine.
615 # ipmi-dcmi -h ahost -u myusername -p mypassword --get-power-limit
617 Get power limit of a remote machine using IPMI over LAN.
619 # ipmi-dcmi -h mycluster[0-127] -u myusername -p mypassword --get-
621 power-limit
622 Get power limit across a cluster using IPMI over LAN.

626 Upon successful execution, exit status is 0. On error, exit status is
627 1.
628 If multiple hosts are specified for communication, the exit status is 0
630 if and only if all targets successfully execute. Otherwise the exit
631 status is 1.
632
634 On older operating systems, if you input your username, password, and
635 other potentially security relevant information on the command line,
636 this information may be discovered by other users when using tools like
637 the ps(1) command or looking in the /proc file system. It is generally
638 more secure to input password information with options like the -P or
639 -K options. Configuring security relevant information in the FreeIPMI
640 configuration file would also be an appropriate way to hide this infor‐
641 mation.
642 In order to prevent brute force attacks, some BMCs will temporarily
644 "lock up" after a number of remote authentication errors. You may need
645 to wait awhile in order to this temporary "lock up" to pass before you
646 may authenticate again.
