The original motivation was remote chassis power control for lab systems, and the project grew into a general-purpose tool that others found useful. The project was released under a BSD license and later moved from SourceForge to Codeberg. SourceForge now marks the project obsolete and points users to the Codeberg repository. ### Adoptionsgeschichte IPMItool became a standard server-administration package because it exposed BMC management through a plain CLI instead of a vendor-specific console. That made it attractive to system administrators, data-center operators, and BMC developers who wanted something simple and scriptable. The Codeberg tags show a long imported release history, including 1.8.0 in 2005, multiple 1.8.x releases through the 2000s and 2010s, and 1.8.19 in 2022. ### Wie es verwendet wird Common uses include reading sensor data records, printing sensor values, displaying the system event log, printing FRU inventory, configuring BMC LAN parameters, issuing raw IPMI commands, and remotely controlling chassis power. The tool can work through local kernel interfaces such as OpenIPMI on Linux or through IPMI-over-LAN using RMCP/RMCP+ over UDP port 623, depending on hardware and configuration. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren IPMItool is a classic sysadmin package: old, small, dangerous if misused, and indispensable when a remote server needs power cycling or sensor inspection without a working operating system. It also represents a packaging pattern common in infrastructure tooling: a vendor-neutral command wraps a hardware management standard, which keeps it useful across many server vendors and Linux distributions. ### Zeitleiste - Sun Microsystems era: Duncan Laurie wrote IPMItool after working with x86 servers containing IPMIv1.5 BMCs. - 2005: IPMITOOL_1_8_0 tag appears in the imported Codeberg history. - 2013: CVS-to-git imported tags appear in the Codeberg history. - 2022: IPMITOOL_1_8_19 tag appears in the Codeberg history. - 2025: README states Linux is the only platform covered by automated checks. ### Related projects - OpenIPMI provides the Linux kernel interface commonly used for local IPMI access. - IPMI-over-LAN and RMCP/RMCP+ are the network protocols used for remote BMC access. - Vendor server-management tools overlap with IPMItool but are usually less portable. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. -
