The IBM Bladecenter AMM does not support IPMI out-of-band at the moment. Most modern x86 blades contained therein support in-band IPMI. Not all the blades (notably the PPC blades) support IPMI. For out-of-band usage, the protocols supported include the web interface, the CLI via either SMASH or another syntax (via ssh or telnet), and SNMP. I personally script the SNMP, but key-based ssh to the AMM can be handy as well.
Since out-of-band management of IBM bladecenter is currently not applicable to the ipmitool mailing list, feel free to email me back directly if you have further questions.
