13. OS Support / Tools
13.1 Linux Tools
OpenIPMI - KCS driver
Normally all drivers and kernel modules needed for communication between the payload sided
software and the Management Controller firmware via the KCS interface come with the distri-
bution. Newest sources can be downloaded from: ‘http://openipmi.sourceforge.net’. There may
be downloaded the OpenIPMI project as well. The OpenIPMI library package includes some
applications and the needed libraries.
IPMI Tool
Another very useful all-in-one tool is ‘ipmitool’ (http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net ). It provides a
user friendly interface to many IPMI features and extensions, for example, to get sensor read-
ings, change sensor thresholds or to access other Management Controllers via IPMB. Before
‘ipmitool’ can be used the OpenIPMI driver, mentioned above, must be loaded too.
