Advanced IPMIUTIL usage

The MS Windows ipmiutil application may also be used for remote IPMI access to iLO 3. The commands, although different, do provide similar functionality.

To retrieve the general status of iLO 3:

C:\> ipmiutil.exe health -N <IP ADDRESS> -J 3 –U <user name> -P <Password>

To power on the HP ProLiant Server:

C:\> ipmiutil.exe reset -u -N <IP ADDRESS> -J 3 –U <user name> -P <Password>

To power OFF the HP ProLiant Server:

C:\> ipmiutil.exe reset –d -N <IP ADDRESS> -J 3 –U <user name> -P <Password>

To turn on the HP ProLiant Server's Unique Identifier Light (UID):

C:\> ipmiutil.exe led –i5 -N <IP ADDRESS> -J 3 –U <user name> -P <Password>

Note: The ipmiutil application only allows setting the UID for 5 seconds. This tool would need to be scripted in a loop with a 4 second delay to keep the UID light on persistently.
