Unfortunately, the IBM Bladecenter does not expose IPMI over LAN. This comes from effort to maintain backwards compatibility with the days before IPMI existed and trying to make the POWER and x86 systems all act the same when in a chassis. Implementing remote management for CLI/scripting use can be done either by: -Scripting the cli (not bad if you set up ssh keys). Example:
# ssh USERID@amm1 power -T blade[1] -state system> power -T blade[1] -state On -Using SNMP. If you are very familiar with SNMP, you may find the blade mib helpful. I can provide more details on this off-list if you like. xCAT's implementation may be a helpful reference guide or starting point if you want to go this route and don't mind perl: http://xcat.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xcat/xcat-core/trunk/xCAT-server/lib/xcat/plugins/blade.pm -Using some higher level software that knows how to speak IPMI and IBM Blade (requires extra setup). For example with xCAT: Power state of a KVM guest: # rpower vmgt stat vmgt: on Of a blade: # rpower h01 stat h01: on Of an IPMI server: # rpower r31u30 stat r31u30: on Others include Director and various management applications/appliances. If these solutions cannot work, I can try to help you figure out something off-list, since it isn't particularly directly related to ipmitool's world.
