Use ipmitool to configure BMC network and user information of X86 server

When you don't know the server BMC（Baseboard Management Controller） Management of IP And user information , You can install on the system where the server is installed ipmitool Tools , Then configure directly through in band BMC Network and IP Etc , There is no need to restart the machine to find BMC Steps for setting the configuration interface .

The following example is configured in band , If you want to configure through out of band , stay ipmitool Add... After the order “–H BMCip –U username –P password” Equal parameter .

1. Set up BMC Internet information

1） Show BMC Of IP Address information ( Other channel numbers such as 2,3,4 Wait to view the information of the channels that the device can use , Usually configure channels 1, In the following order 1 All represent configuration channels 1)
# ipmitool lan print 1
# ipmitool channel info 1

2） Set up channels 1 Using static IP Address .
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static

3） Set up BMC Of IP Address .
# ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr 192.168.100.142

4） Set up BMC The subnet mask for .
# ipmitool lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0

5） Set up IPMI Gateway for .
# ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr 192.168.100.254

6） confirm BMC Of IP Address information
# ipmitool lan print 1

2. Set up BMC Users of

1） List BMC User information .
# ipmitool user list 1

ID  Name             Callin  Link Auth  IPMI Msg   Channel Priv Limit
1                    false   false      true       ADMINISTRATOR
2   lenovo           false   true       true       ADMINISTRATOR
3   three            false   false      true       ADMINISTRATOR
4   test1            false   false      true       ADMINISTRATOR
5   test2            false   false      true       ADMINISTRATOR

15                   true    false      false      NO ACCESS

2） Create new users （ You can directly change the password of the management user , Do not create new users ）
# ipmitool user set name 6 test3 （6 Is one of the unused users listed in the above command ID Number ）

3） Set the user's password
# ipmitool user set password 6 len0vO （6 Is the user test3 Users of ID Number ）

4） Give permissions to the new user
# ipmitool channel setaccess 1 6 callin=on ipmi=on link=on privilege=4 （6 Is the user test3 Users of ID Number ）

5） Check and confirm the user's information
# ipmitool user list 1

15                   true    false      false      NO ACCESS

Good configuration BMC After the network and users of , You can log in to the management interface of the server through the browser , Daily management of equipment （ It is usually used for monitoring and fault diagnosis ）.
