4.2.3 Resetting the ILOM Using IPMItool

If you could not connect to the ILOM using SSH or the remote console, then log in to the local host or another host on the ILOM network, and use IPMItool. The following procedure describes how to reset the ILOM using IPMItool:

1. Log in to local host or another host on the ILOM network.
2. Run the following IPMItool command:

   • Using local host:

     $ ipmitool mc reset cold
     Sent cold reset command to MC
     

   • Using another host:

     $ ipmitool -H ILOM_host_name -U ILOM_user mc reset cold
     Sent cold reset command to MC
     

     In the preceding command, ILOM_host_name is the host name being used, and ILOM_user is the user name for the ILOM.
