1FREEIPMI(5) Configuration FREEIPMI(5)
2
6 freeipmi.conf - specify default values to FreeIPMI
7
9 The FreeIPMI configuration file can be used to set alternate default
10 values to many FreeIPMI tools so values don't have to be configured on
11 the command line. This allows users to avoid typing in a long list of
12 command line options every time a command is executed. It can also be
13 used to hide usernames, passwords, and other sensitive information from
14 the ps(1) command.
15 Currently, the tools that can be configured with the configuration file
17 are: bmc-device(8), bmc-info(8), bmc-watchdog(8), ipmi-chassis(8),
18 ipmi-config(8), ipmi-fru(8), ipmi-oem(8), ipmi-pet(8), ipmi-raw(8),
19 ipmi-sel(8), ipmi-sensors(8), ipmiconsole(8), and ipmipower(8).
20 By default, the configuration file is stored at
22 /etc/freeipmi//freeipmi.conf. But users may select a different config‐
23 uration file at the command line with the --config-file option.
24 Values specified on the command line override the configuration values
26 specified in the configuration file.
27
29 The configuration options that can be specified in the configuration
30 file are listed below. Each configuration option must be listed on a
31 separate line. Arguments for an option are separated by any amount of
32 whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by whitespace. Com‐
33 ments can be marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines
34 can be continued on the next using backslash ("\").
35 Note that it is possible to list the username, password and other po‐
37 tentially sensitive information in the configuration file. If this data
38 is stored in a configuration file, system administrators should limit
39 access to this file.
40
42 The following options are options generally available to all tools, al‐
43 though specific options may be ignored by some. (For example, ipmicon‐
44 sole(8) and ipmipower(8) do not perform in-band communication, there‐
45 fore they would ignore in-band communication options. Similarly bmc-
46 watchdog(8) does not perform out-of-band communication, therefore it
47 would ignore all out-of-band options).
