The Linux ipmitool has the capability to securely
communicate with iLO 3 utilizing the IPMI 2.0 RMCP+ protocol. This
is the ipmitool lanplus
protocol feature. For most commands, a valid iLO 3 user name and
password is required. Typical "out of band" (or IPMI over LAN)
commands include the following:
To retrieve the general status of iLO 3
# ipmitool -H
<IP Address or FQDN> -I lanplus -U <user name> mc
info
To power on the HP ProLiant Server:
# ipmitool -H
<IP Address or FQDN> -I lanplus -U <user name> chassis
power on
To turn on the HP ProLiant Server's Unique Identifier Light (UID):
# ipmitool -H
<IP Address or FQDN> -I lanplus -U <user name> chassis
identify on
Almost all Linux ipmitool commands may be issued
remotely including retrieving the System Event Log (SEL) entries
and current sensor readings. The parameter -l lanplus is required to enable the
IPMI 2.0 RMCP+ protocol.
