Syntax formats for local and remote execution
1. Local execution (either)
ipmicmd -k "f 0 <netfn> <cmd> [data]" smi 0
ipmitool raw <netfn> <cmd> [data]2. Remote execution
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <IP> -U <user> -P <pass> raw <netfn> <cmd> [data]Basic Syntax Format of ipmicmd
ipmicmd -k "f <channel> <netfn> <cmd> [data...]" smi <interface_id>Parameter description:
- -k: specifies whether to use the KCS or BT interface.
- f: indicates that the raw command is executed.
<channel>: channel number, which is usually 0 (system interface)<netfn>: network function code (hexadecimal. The request NetFn needs to be used, that is, an even number.)<cmd>: command code (hexadecimal)- [data...]: command data byte (optional, hexadecimal)
- smi: indicates that the SMI interface is used.
<interface_id>: interface ID. The value is usually 0.
Original ipmitool Command Format
ipmitool [-I <interface>] raw <netfn> <cmd> [data...]Parameter description:
-I <interface>: specifies the interface type.
- open: local KCS or BT interface (default)
- lanplus: IPMI v2.0 LAN interface
- lan: IPMI v1.5 LAN interface
-H <host>: BMC IP address
-U <username>: user name
-P <password>: password
raw: Sends the original IPMI command.
<netfn>: network function code (decimal or hexadecimal, using the request NetFn)
<cmd>: command code (decimal or hexadecimal)
[data...]: command data byte (decimal or hexadecimal)
ipmicmd and ipmitool parameter description comparison
| Parameter | ipmicmd | ipmitool | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | -k + smi 0 | -I open (default) | Local KCS or BT interface |
| Channel No. | f 0 | No need to specify | ipmitool automatic processing |
| NetFn | Hexadecimal (for example, 06) | Hexadecimal or decimal (for example, 0x06 or 6) | The request NetFn (even number) must be used. |
| CMD | Hexadecimal (for example, 01) | Hexadecimal or decimal (for example, 0x01 or 1) | Command Code |
| Data byte | Hexadecimal space separation (for example, 00 01) | Hexadecimal or decimal separated by spaces (for example, 0x00 0x01) | Optional parameters |
To convert ipmicmd to ipmitool, delete -k "f 0" and "smi 0 from and add 0x before NetFn/CMD/Data. The following is an example of format conversion:
| Tools | Complete format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ipmicmd | ipmicmd -k "f 0 <netfn> <cmd> [data]" smi 0 | ipmicmd -k "f 0 06 01" smi 0 |
| ipmitool | ipmitool raw <netfn> <cmd> [data] | ipmitool raw 0x06 0x01 |
Must Know
- NetFn request/response: The sent command is an even number (for example, 0x06), and the received response is an odd number (for example, 0x07).
- Number format: ipmicmd must be a hexadecimal number and cannot be prefixed with 0x. ipmitool must be prefixed with 0x or use a decimal number.
- The ipmitool mc info command is more intuitive than the ipmitool raw 0x06 0x01 command.
- Tips: Add -v or -vv to view details.
- The maximum length of the data returned by the ipmicmd command is 36 bytes. If the length of the returned data exceeds 36 bytes, you are advised to run the ipmitool command.
Encryption algorithm suites
When IPMI commands are sent using RMCP/RMCP Plus, the default encryption algorithm suites supported vary depending on the device model. For details, see the following table.
| Encryption algorithm suites | Model Range |
|---|---|
| Cipher suite 17 is enabled by default. | DP120, DP220, DP4210, OceanStor Pacific 9950 Data cluster module, OceanStor Pacific 9950 Node, FusionCube 500, CM421 V2, CM221 V2, CM311T V2, CM211S V2, CM221S V2, CM411 V2 |
