+Description: utility for IPMI control with kernel driver or LAN interface
+ A utility for managing and configuring devices that support the
+ Intelligent Platform Management Interface. IPMI is an open standard
+ for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of hardware
+ that is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS. The
+ service processor (or Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) is the
+ brain behind platform management and its primary purpose is to handle
+ the autonomous sensor monitoring and event logging features.
+ .
+ The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to this
+ BMC. It features the ability to read the sensor data repository
+ (SDR) and print sensor values, display the contents of the System
+ Event Log (SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory
+ information, read and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform
+ remote chassis power control.
