This chapter describes how to install IPMItool on systems equipped with the Windows operating system.
The procedures in this chapter assume that you have already done the following:
Installed the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 operating system.
Run InstallPack_x_x_x.exe to install supplemental software on the server, or for Windows Server 2008, downloadeded and installed the contents of the Tools and Driver ISO image.
Note - The _x_x_x number identifies the version of the package (for example, InstallPack_1_1_4.zip). |
The IPMItool is a command line utility that reads the sensor data repository (SDR) and displays sensor values, System Event Log (SEL), Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory information, gets and sets LAN configuration parameters, and performs chassis power control operations via the server’s Service Processor.
IPMItool is supplemental software and may be installed using the server’s Tools and Drivers CD or using the Installpack_x_x_x.exe executable file (described earlier in this chapter).
Once installed, the IPMItool can be used to access your server’s Service Processor (or another Sun server’s Service Processor) in the following ways:
Through the server’s ILOM (Integrated Lights Out Manager) interface. For details on using ILOM, refer to your server’s ILOM documentation.
Through the server’s Windows operating system. To use the IPMItool with Windows, it must be used in conjunction with the IPMI System Management driver (available with Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2, or as a Sun supplemental software component for Windows Server 2003 SP1). To make sure you have what you need to use the IPMItool with Windows Server 2003, refer to the requirements listed below.
To use IPMItool, ensure that you have completed the requirements specified for your Windows Server 2003 version:
Install the IPMI tool and the Sun IPMI System Management driver as described in the Windows operating system installation guide for your server.
For Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2:
Install the IPMI tool and Microsoft’s IPMI System Management driver in Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 as described in the Windows operating system install guide for your server.
Install IPMI tool as described in Windows Operating System Installation Guide for your server. No configuration is required. IPMITool is ready for use.
For information about using the IPMItool, refer to your Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User’s Guide (820-1188). For more information on standard IPMItool commands, please see: http://www.nvidia.com/object/LO_28249.html
