IPMItool is an open-source, simple command-line interface (CLI) utility for managing and configuring IPMI-enabled devices. IPMItool can manage the IPMI functions of either the local system or a remote system. You can use the IPMItool utility to perform IPMI functions with a kernel device driver or over a LAN interface.
You can do the following with IPMItool:
Read the Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository.
Print sensor values.
Display the contents of the System Event Log (SEL).
Print field-replaceable unit (FRU) inventory information.
Read and set LAN configuration parameters.
Perform remote chassis power control.
