About:
Ipmiutil is a set of utilities for IPMI server management that allows system administrators to interface with the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) of hardware. It provides a suite of tools to monitor hardware health, manage power, and access the baseboard management controller (BMC) remotely. This utility is essential for out-of-band management of servers, ensuring robust monitoring and control capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Hardware monitoring (sensor readings, thresholds)
  • Power control (power on/off, reset, boot)
  • Serial over LAN (SOL) for remote console access
  • Event logging and alerting
  • Auto-discovery of IPMI nodes
Use Cases:
  • Remote server power cycling and troubleshooting when the OS is unresponsive
  • Monitoring hardware health (temperature, voltage, fan speeds) in data centers
  • Automating server provisioning and maintenance tasks via scripts
Alternatives:
  • ipmitool – ipmitool is a more widely used command-line interface for IPMI, but ipmiutil offers a more integrated suite of utilities and specific features like auto-discovery.
