NAME

_conserver-ipmiconsole - wrapper for ipmitool Serial-over-LAN

SYNOPSIS

_conserver-ipmiconsole bmchostname

DESCRIPTION

This command provides a wrapper to ipmitool for use by conserver. It allows conserver to initiate console sessions to IPMI-v2.0-compliant hosts via Serial-over_LAN.

This wrapper is supplied by the lcfg-conserver(8) component. It should not be used by hand: it is intended only to be invoked via conserver, in cases where that application has been configured by the lcfg-conserver(8) component.

bmchostname

Hostname (or IP address) of the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the host to which a Serial-over-LAN session is to be initiated by ipmitool.
