Prior to using the IPMItool to execute Oracle ILOM commands, review these requirements:
Use the latest IPMItool that is available from the Oracle Hardware Management Pack.
To use the IPMI TLS interface, IPMItool users must use IPMItool v1.8.15.1 or later that is available for download from Oracle Hardware Management Pack for Linux (as of v2.4 and later) and Oracle Hardware Management Pack for Solaris (as of v4.0 and later).
Ensure that you have the proper user roles assigned in Oracle ILOM when using the IPMItool utility to execute Oracle ILOM commands. For more information, see IPMI Administrator and Operator Roles.
Unless otherwise noted, commands described in this section accept options and other arguments according to the following syntax:
ipmitool [option(s] -I [orcltls|lanplus] -H [hostserveraddress] [hostserveroptions] [command issued] [system output]
Where:
[option(s)] can include: -c [cipher suite level] |-h (to display help)|-v (to display verbose output) |-V (to display version number)
-I identifies the selected IPMI interface such as -I orcltls ( IPMI TLS interface) | -I lanplus (IPMI v2.0 interface).
-H [hostserveraddress] identifies the remote server SP hostname or IP address. The [hostserveroption(s)] must always specify: -U [username] -P [password]. The [hostserveroption(s)] can also include optional options such as -p [portnumber] | -R [retries count]
[command issued] can either identify a dedicated ILOM IPMItool command or a Sunoem ILOM command.
[system output] displays the command results.
