FreeIPMI

FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. The software has been written with a number of useful features for large HPC or cluster environments. See the README or FAQ for more info.

The FreeIPMI project currently includes the following tools and libraries:

Project Tools
Bmc-info
A tool to read information about a BMC such as device version numbers, device support, and global IDs. (example output)
Bmc-config
A tool to configure general BMC and IPMI information. Supports configuration of usernames, passwords, networking information, security, Serial-over-LAN (SOL), and other core fields. (example config)
Bmc-watchdog
A tool/daemon to manage a BMC Watchdog. This tool is typically used for system timeout management and automatic system restarts in the event of a system crash.
Ipmi-chassis
A tool to manage/monitor a chassis, such as chassis power, identification (i.e. LED control), and status.
Ipmi-fru
A tool to read field replaceable unit (FRU) information from a motherboard/machine. (example output)
Ipmi-sel
A tool to read and manage IPMI System Event Log (SEL) records. SEL records store system event information and may be useful for debugging problems. (example output)
Ipmi-sensors
A tool to read IPMI sensor readings and sensor data repository (SDR) information. (example output)
Ipmipower
A tool for remote power control.
Ipmiconsole
A tool for Serial-over-Lan (SOL) console access.
Ipmi-raw
A tool that provides hex input/output of IPMI commands.
Ipmi-locate
A tool that can probe for information about the location of a BMC device, such as device addresses. (example output)
Ipmimonitoring
A tool for sensor monitoring and interpretation. The tool is similar to ipmi-sensors, but sensor readings are analyzed and mapped into Nominal, Warning, and Critical states. (example output)
Pef-config
A tool to configure Platform Event Filtering (PEF) information. (example config)
Ipmi-chassis-config
A tool to configure IPMI chassis information. Supports configuration of boot device, power restore policy, and other chassis related fields. (example config)
Ipmi-sensors-config
A tool to configure IPMI sensors. Supports configuration of sensor thresholds, sensor events, and other sensor related fields. (example config)
Bmc-device
A tool to perform advanced BMC commands.
Ipmiping
An IPMI ping tool for debugging. (example output)
Rmcpping
A RMCP ping tool for debugging. (example output)
Ipmi-oem
An IPMI tool for OEM specific commands.
Ipmidetect/Ipmidetectd
A tool and daemon for IPMI node detection.
Project Libraries
Libfreeipmi
A C library that includes KCS, SSIF, and OpenIPMI drivers, IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 LAN communication interfaces, IPMI packet building utilities, IPMI command utilities, and utilities for reading/interpreting/managing IPMI.
Libipmiconsole
A library for Serial-over-Lan (SOL) console access. SOL console access is abstracted into a file descriptor interface, so users may read and write console data through a file descriptor.
Libipmimonitoring
A library for sensor monitoring and interpretation. Sensor monitoring and interpretation of those sensors is abstracted into an API with an iterator interface.
Libipmidetect
A library for IPMI node detection.
