Notes
IPMI (==Intelligent Platform Management Interface==) is a standardized computer interface used for out-of-band management of computer systems. It allows for remote monitoring and management of servers, even when the main system is powered off or unresponsive. This is primarily achieved through a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), which acts as a separate, dedicated computer on the server's motherboard.
To install ipmitool on Ubuntu 24.04, follow these steps: Update package lists.
Code
sudo apt update
install ipmitool.
Code
sudo apt install ipmitool
- Install
openipmi(optional, but recommended for full functionality):
Code
sudo apt install openipmi
Start the openipmi service (if installed).
Code
sudo systemctl start openipmi
After these steps, ipmitool will be installed and ready for use. You can verify the installation by running ipmitool -V to check its version.
