ipmi-wrapper

Time saver for ipmitool when pxe booting servers

Prerequisites

• A working instalation of ipmitool. Typically this can be installed in linux with the integrated package manager. For redhat and derivatives try yum install ipmitool.
• I've only tested under the bash shell so you might need this.

Usage

Put your password into an environment varible with the set-ipmi-pass.bash script:

$ source ./set-ipmi-pass.bash 
Enter IPMI password:

Then you can use the ipmi comand:

ipmi <host> <command>

host      hostname or IP address of controller
command	  <native ipmitool command> e.g. help
command	  console | bootnet | reboot"
