Example of Creating a Custom IPMI-Type Script
The OnBoard uses ipmitool commands to communicate with IPMI 1.5 type service processors. The OnBoard administrator can create a custom script to communicate with IPMI 2.0 type service processors in 1.5 compatibility mode or to use extra ipmitool arguments to support either OEM extensions or additional interfaces. To find a list of supported interfaces enter ipmitool with the -h option. To find a list of supported OEMs, enter ipmitool with the “-o list” argument.
