IPMI Shell

IPMI Shell is a CLI console application and has no graphical user interface. Its commands and

options are specified using command line arguments only.
IPMI Shell supports out-of-band (OOB) access (over a LAN or through the serial port) to a single

system at a time, however, multiple IPMI Shell sessions can run simultaneously on the same

managed system. SeeFigure 3-2.
IPMI Shell allows a user with user-level BMC user privileges to:

• Display the current power status
• Display the 16-byte system GUID of the managed system
• Display all field replaceable units (FRU) present in the system
• Display the BMC firmware information
• Display summary information about the event log
• Display the logged events

In addition to the operations that can be performed by a user with user-level BMC user privileges,

IPMI Shell allows a user with operator-level BMC user privileges to:

• Power on, reset, or cycle a managed system
• Simulate a hard power off a managed system (forcing the system to turn off without shutting

down the operating system)

• Delete the system event log (SEL)
• Turn on/off the blinking system identification LED
