BMC¶

HP iLO 3 and higher support¶

To use foreman BMC support with ilo 3 and higher, the following iLO settings are required

• an ilo user with administrator rights. Just giving the user "Virtual Power and Reset" rights does not seem to be enough
• enable IPMI
  - Administration -> Access Settings -> Enable IPMI/DCMI over LAN on Port 623

after this you can verify access by running ipmitool:

ipmitool power status  -H <iLO ip-address> -U <user> -I lanplus
Password:
Chassis Power is on

Dell DRAC¶

To configure ipmi from commandline :

# ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr your_ip
# ipmitool lan set 1 netmask your_netmask
# ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr your_default_gw
# ipmitool lan set 1 access on

# ipmitool user set name 3 foreman
# ipmitool user set password 3 your_password
# ipmitool channel setaccess 1 3 callin=on ipmi=on  link=on privilege=4
# ipmitool user enable 3
