Overview

A virtual BMC for controlling virtual machines using IPMI commands.

This software is intended for CI and development use only. Please do not run VirtualBMC in a production environment for any reason.

Installation

pip install virtualbmc

# Power the virtual machine on, off, graceful off, NMI and reset
ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P password -H 127.0.0.1 power on|off|soft|diag|reset

# Check the power status
ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P password -H 127.0.0.1 power status

Serial-over-LAN

SOL bridges one authenticated IPMI client to the libvirt domain’s default console. It supports activation while powered off and reconnects the stream after VM power cycles. See doc/source/user/sol.rst for prerequisites and limitations.
