openipmicmd − An IPMI Command Interface
openipmicmd [−k entry-to-execute] <connection parms>
The openipmicmd program allows a user to execute direct IPMI commands. It can work with direct interface with the OpenIPMI driver or with IPMI LAN interfaces.
−k entry-to-execute
Execute a single command an exit.
<connectionparms>
The parameters for the connection depend on the connection type. These are all described in openipmi_conparms (7)
Once up, you
can execute commands in the user interface. Note that
commands and responses are asynchronous, you issue a command
and the interface returns immediately. When the response
comes back, it will be dumped on your console. That’s
a little strange looking, but IPMI is ansychronous
underneath. Note that the −k option is
synchronous, it will wait for the response or a timeout
before returning.
0f lun netfn cmd [data1 [data2
...]]
Send a command to the BMC you are connected to.
channel [ipmb] IPMB-addr lun netfn cmd [data1 [data2 ...]]
Send a command to a device on the IPMB bus. The "ipmb" string is optional.
channel 00 IPMB-addr lun netfn cmd [data1 [data2 ...]]
Send a broadcast command to a device on the IPMB bus.
channel lan
handle remote-swid local-swid lun netfn cmd
[data1 [data
...]]
Send a command to a device over a LAN channel. Note that this not the same as a LAN connection. This sends a message through a local BMC to a remote system that is hooked up with a LAN connection.
test_lat count command
Executes the given commands (one of the previous commands) count times and gives the average time per command to execute. Note that "count" is hexadecimal.

Display some help. |
regcmd netfn cmd
Register to receive the given command. If the driver receives an external command, it will print it out. This only works with system interface connections, it will not work on LAN connections.
unregcmd netfn cmd
Remove a command registration.
ipmi_ui(1), ipmilan(8), openipmi_conparms(7)
The asychronous nature of the program can be annoying.
