Installation
ipmitool can typically be installed via normal OS repositories:
## For Redhat based systems
yum install ipmitool
## For Debian/Ubuntu system
apt-get install ipmitoolTo use ipmitool on locally installed IPMI hardware (i.e. on the same machine ipmitool is installed on) you need to ensure a number of IPMI modules are loaded and running. The three main modules required are:
- ipmi_msghandler
- ipmi_devintf
- ipmi_si
To check these are running, enter the following command:
[root@ral1 ~]# lsmod | grep ipmi
ipmi_si 79661 0
ipmi_devintf 44753 0
ipmi_msghandler 73369 2 ipmi_si,ipmi_devintfIf no modules are shown, modprobe the modules listed above:
modprobe ipmi_msghandler
modprobe ipmi_devintf
modprobe ipmi_si
