IPMI Service State and Supported IPMI Sessions

By default, the IPMI service state in Oracle ILOM is enabled. The following IPMI sessions are supported as of Oracle ILOM firmware version 5.0.0:

  • TLS Sessions — Enabled by default.

  • IPMI v2.0 Sessions — Disabled by default

The service processors (SPs) on your Oracle managed devices (servers, blade server modules, and so on) are IPMI compliant. You can access IPMI functionality through the command line using the IPMItool interface either in-band (using the host operating system running on the server) or out-of-band (using a remote system). Additionally, you can generate IPMI-specific traps from the Oracle ILOM web interface, or manage the SP IPMI functions from any external management solution that is IPMI compliant. For more information about the IPMItool utility, see IPMItool.
