Completing the IPMItool Installation
The IPMItool is a command line utility that reads the sensor data repository (SDR) and displays sensor values, System Event Log (SEL) entries, Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory information, gets and sets LAN configuration parameters, and performs chassis power control operations via the server’s service processor. IPMItool is supplemental software and may be installed using the server’s Tools and Drivers CD or using the Installpack.exe executable file (described earlier in this chapter).
Once installed, the IPMItool may be used to access your server’s service processor (or another Sun server’s service processor) in the following ways:
■Through the server’s ILOM (Integrated Lights Out Manager) interface. For details on using ILOM, refer to your server’s ILOM documentation.
■Through the server’s Windows operating system. To use the IPMItool with Windows, it must be used in conjunction with the IPMI System Management driver (available with Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2). To make sure you have what you need to use the IPMItool with Windows Server 2003, refer to the requirements listed below.
