NAME¶

ipmiutil_reset - perform a hardware reset on the system

SYNOPSIS¶

ipmiutil reset [-bcdDefhijmnoprsuwxy -N node -U user -P/-R pswd -EFJTVY]

DESCRIPTION¶

ipmiutil reset is a program that uses IPMI commands to perform a hardware reset of the chassis, or boot to a specific device. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N.

OPTIONS¶

Command line options are described below.

-c

Power Cycle the system chassis

-d

Power Down the system chassis

-n

Send NMI to the system

-u

Power Up the system chassis

-r

Hard Reset the system chassis

-D

Do a soft shutdown of the OS, and then power down. Note that remote soft shutdown (-D -N) for Intel S5000 baseboard requires ipmiutil getevt -a running on the target server.

-o

Do a soft shutdown of the OS, and then reset. Note that remote soft shutdown (-o -N) for Intel S5000 baseboard requires ipmiutil getevt -a running on the target server.

-k

Do a cold reset to restart the BMC firmware.

-m 002000s

Perform these function for a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). The trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if 's', or IPMB addressing if 'i' or not present.

-b

Do a hard reset and reboot to the BIOS Setup menu, for this reboot only.

-e

Do a hard reset to EFI, if IPMI EFI boot is enabled, for this reboot only.

-f

Do a hard reset to Floppy/Removable, for this reboot only.

-h

Do a hard reset to a Hard Disk, for this reboot only.

-i

Set the boot Initiator mailbox string, usually for PXE use. The string must be less than 78 characters.

-j

Set the IANA number used for the boot Initiator mailbox string.

-p

Do a hard reset and network boot to PXE server, for this reboot only.

-s

Do a hard reset and reboot to the Service/Diagnostic Partition, for this reboot only. Reboots to the default if no service partition is configured.

-v

Do a hard reset to DVD/CDROM Media, for this reboot only.

-w

Wait for BMC ready after a reset before exiting the utility.

-x

Causes extra debug messages to be displayed.

-y

Yes, try to persist any boot options used [-befhprsv]. This requires the IPMI firmware to ask the BIOS to change boot order settings, so it may not be supported by all BMC firmware vendors.

-N nodename

Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a nodename is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used.

-P/-R rmt_pswd

Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password.

-U rmt_user

Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username.

-E

Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD.

-F drv_t

Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it.

-J

Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3.

-T

Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM.

-V

Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level.

-Y

Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.
