Daniel,
It sounds like what you might want is to save/restore a complete set of
vanilla IPMI firmware configuration parameters to start fresh, as your
designated factory defaults. The ipmiutil and freeipmi packages have
methods that implement this, and this could be done on any IPMI
platform, not just ones that implement the OEM 'factory reset' function.

Corey,
Thanks for your reply.
If that is the case, is there any way to do a "factory reset" via
ipmitool or does this fall under proprietary functionality? My issue
being, once a server is re-used, I'd like to automatically clear any
previous settings it had (including configured users). While I could
just loop over all configured users, disable them and just 'overwrite'
the user id's that I need - I would much prefer a "cleaner" solution.
Thanks again.

You don't really create and delete users in IPMI. You configure user
slots. So disabling the user is basically equivalent to deleting it.

Hi list,
I am having some trouble figuring out how to delete users via ipmitool
(or whether it's even possible). After looking over the ipmi spec, I
wasn't able to find anything that references user deletion and ipmitool
has nothing about this either. Does this functionality vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer? If using the specific manufacturers web
UI, user deletion works without problems (and 'ipmitool user list 1'
shows this to be true too).
My current test environments are on a Tyan 7002 and Supermicro 5015A.
Any hints/ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
