Installing IPMI Tool

Publisher: Psychz Networks,  October 11,2018

The ipmitool lets you manage the Intelligent Platform Management Interface  (IPMI) functions of a remote system, using the new version IPMI v2.0.
IPMI helps lower the overall costs of server management by enabling customers to save time, maximize IT resources, and potentially manage multi-vendor environments in the same way.
On Linux, this driver is called OpenIPMI and it is included in standard distributions. Management of a remote station requires the IPMI-over-LAN interface to be enabled and configured.
With this tool, you can manage LAN configuration, sensor readings, and remote chassis power control. IPMI management of a local system interface requires a compatible IPMI kernel driver to be installed and configured. Depending on the particular requirements of each system it may be possible to enable the LAN interface using ipmi-tool over the system interface.

How to install the ipmitool?

To install the ipmitool software execute the following commands from a root shell:

Enterprise Linux 5.x / CentOS 5.x:

# yum install OpenIPMI OpenIPMI-tools

Enterprise Linux 6.x / CentOS 6.x or Fedora:

# yum install OpenIPMI ipmitool

Enterprise Linux 7.x / CentOS 7.x or Fedora:

# yum install OpenIPMI ipmitool

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

# apt-get install ipmitool

 

Once you have completed the installation you just have to enable the ipmitool using the following commands from a root shell:

# /sbin/chkconfig ipmi on
# service ipmi start

Ubuntu starts the daemon automatically.
