Fetching server related info through IPMI protocol

213 views Asked by At

I'm working on IPMI protocol which communicates with a BMC board present in a server. I've got a doubt which basically is that can we get all the server related info(majorily boot options and reseting the system) through IPMI protocol using its commands(including RAW commands) ?

I tried to search it on internet but I didn't get much info (even on oracle's website) !

So if the answer is yes, please redirect me to the resource. What I want is clear elaboration of the commands so that I can make use of it.
