Note - IPMItool is OS-based. You might need to install it from the Tools & Drivers CD if the OS does not provide it.
You can use IPMItool to control the power remotely. For example, you can perform the following power-related actions:
Power on the server.
Shut down the OS gracefully and power off to standby power mode.
Perform an immediate power off to standby power mode without shutting down the OS gracefully.
Reboot the server by cycling the power
Note - You can also use IPMItool to run ILOM CLI commands. For more information, see Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 SNMP and IPMI Procedures Guide.
For example, enter:
ssh username@snmp_manager_ipaddress
where username is the name of a user with administrator privileges and snmp_manager_ipaddress is the IP address of the SNMP Manager.
For more information about IMPItool, see Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 SNMP and IPMI Procedures Guide.
When you are logged in a prompt appears. For example:
$
To power on the server:
% ipmitool —H 1.2.3.4 —v —I lanplus —U username —P userpassword chassis power on
where username and userpassword are the user name and password of a user on the remote server with administrator privileges.
To gracefully shut down the OS and power off the server to standby power mode:
% ipmitool —H 1.2.3.4 —v —I lanplus —U username —P userpassword chassis power soft
where username and userpassword are the user name and password of a user on the remote server with administrator privileges.
To perform an immediate power off from full-power mode to standby power mode (not graceful):
% ipmitool —H 1.2.3.4 —v —I lanplus —U username —P userpassword chassis power off
where username and userpassword are the user name and password of a user on the remote server with administrator privileges.
To reset the server (cycle power on and off):
% ipmitool —H 1.2.3.4 —v —I lanplus —U username —P userpassword chassis power cycle
where username and userpassword are the user name and password of a user on the remote server with administrator privileges.
