Vivek,

What you are referring to is called Media Redirection. It is beyond the
scope of IPMI specification and neither IPMITool or ipmiutil would help you
in this case.
It is usually a proprietary protocol. What you can do is contact your BMC
vendor to check if they support media redirection, and if so, get the
necessary tools from them.
