Using Terminal Mode
Use the Terminal Mode feature to perform the following tasks:
• Power the server on or off.
• Reset the server.
• Retrieve the server's health status.
• Configure and retrieve the server management subsystems boot options.
• Configure and retrieve the BMC's terminal mode configuration.
• Execute any platform supported binary command specified in the IPMI
specification using the hex-ASCII format.
NOTE: Many of the Terminal Mode features described in this section require an
extensive knowledge of IPMI. It is strongly recommended that Terminal Mode users
have an advanced understanding of IPMI before using the commands documented
in this section.
Security Information
Access to the BMC using terminal mode is governed by the proper setup of
user names and password. See "Configuring Your Managed System" for more
information. A session must be established with the BMC prior to accepting
any terminal mode commands. A limited selection of text commands and
binary hex-ASCII commands that are assigned the lowest IPMI privilege level
are available prior to session establishment with the BMC.
Since the terminal mode password is sent using clear text, it is highly
desirable that the terminal mode session takes place in a secure location over
a secure link by using a direct connection.
