python-ipmi 0.1.2

Features

• RMCP interface (using ipmitool)

• IPMB interface (The Total Phase Aardvark)

Requirements

You need an either the ipmitool for accessing RCMP interface or a Total Phase Aardvark for communication over the IPMB interface.

Example

Below is an example that shows how to setup the interface and the connection using the ipmitool as backend.

import pyipmi
import pyipmi.interfaces

interface = pyipmi.interfaces.create_interface('ipmitool')

connection = pyipmi.create_connection(interface)

connection.target = pyipmi.Target(0xb2)
connection.target.set_routing_information([(0x20,0)])

connection.session.set_session_type_rmcp('10.0.0.1', port=623)
connection.session.set_auth_type_user('admin', 'admin')
connection.session.establish()

connection.get_device_id()

ipmitool command:

ipmitool -I lan -H 10.0.0.1 -p 623 -b 0 -t 0xb2 -U "admin" -P "admin" -l 0 raw 0x06 0x01

Compatibility

Currently only python 2.7 is supported.
