💅 IDCMI(8) — ipmiutil_dcmi

System Manager's Manual represent! Bestie, welcome to the ipmiutil_dcmi page, aka the DCMI handler. We're gonna handle DCMI functions together, no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ipmiutil dcmi [-admsx -NUPREFTVY] <function>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This ipmiutil dcmi subcommand handles DCMI command functions according to the DCMI specification. Literally its whole job. 💅

This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N. So many paths to the same slay. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Command line options are described below. Buckle up, bestie. 🦋

  • -a string — Set the DCMI Asset Tag to this string. Cute label energy.
  • -d string — Set the DCMI MC ID to this string. ID check! 👑
  • -m 002000 — Target a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). This could be used for PICMG or ATCA blade systems. The trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if s, or IPMB addressing if i or not present. iykyk.
  • -s — When getting info, also get the DCMI sensor information. More data = more main character energy. 🌸
  • -x — Causes extra debug messages to be displayed. Debug girlies rise. 🔥
  • -N nodename — Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a nodename is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used.
  • -U rmt_user — Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username.
  • -P/-R rmt_pswd — Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password.
  • -E — Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. Env var bestie, periodt.
  • -F drv_t — Force the driver type to one of the following: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it. ✨
  • -J — Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3. Cipher suite buffet, lowkey iconic.
  • -T — Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM.
  • -V — Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level.
  • -Y — Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P. Consent matters, bestie. 🙈

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

  • info — Get DCMI Capabilities, MC ID, and Asset Tag. This is the default function if no function was specified. The default queen. 👑
  • power — Get DCMI Power reading and DCMI Power limit, if supported in the DCMI capabilities. Power check! ⚡
  • power set_limit — Set Power limit.
  • power set_action <action> — Set Power limit exception action (where action = no_action | power_off | log_sel).
  • power set_correction — Set Power limit correction time (in ms).
  • power set_sample — Set Power limit sampling period (in sec).
  • power activate — Activate Power limit.
  • power deactivate — Deactivate Power limit.
  • thermal — Get/Set DCMI Thermal parameters. This requires DCMI 1.5 support. Hot girl thermal management, literally. 🔥
  • config — Get/Set DCMI Configuration parameters. This requires DCMI 1.5 support.
  • help — Show the help (usage) message. When in doubt, ask for help. We love that. 🫶
