安装OpenIPMI:

yum install OpenIPMI OpenIPMI-tools

启动服务:

service ipmi start

重设root密码:

ipmitool -I open user set password 2 PASSWORD

dell服务器默认用户为root,密码为:calvin

如果ipmi服务不启动,将会提示一个错误:

[root@localhost ~]# ipmitool -I open user set password 2 shine@2012
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
Set User Password command failed (user 2)

另外ipmi还有的一些功能:

配置ipmi网络地址:

/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 ipaddr 192.168.8.213/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 access on

如果需要设置网关,则输入以下命令

/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 defgw ipaddr 192.168.8.1

加强BMC安全,这样非授权用户才不会重启服务器。为做到这点,首先是需要修改默认的SNMP通讯串,null用 户密码,以及root用户密码。

/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 snmp COMUNIATION

设置null用户的密码

/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 password PASSWD

设置root用户密码

/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open user set password 2 PASSWD

检查配置(在服务器上本地执行)

ipmitool -I open lan print 1
