IPMI-CHASSIS-CONFIG(8)		System Commands		IPMI-CHASSIS-CONFIG(8)

NAME
       ipmi-chassis-config - configure chassis fields

SYNOPSIS
       ipmi-chassis-config [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION
       Ipmi-chassis-config is used to get and set chassis configuration param‐
       eters, such as boot device and power restore policy configuration. Most
       IPMI  users  will  not need to use this tool, although some may need it
       for advanced configuration. For more general chassis management such as
       power   control	 or  identification,  please  see  ipmi-chassis(8)  or
       ipmipower(8).

       Some chassis configuration may not be stored in non-volatile memory, so
       users  may  wish	 to veryify that new configurations exist after system
       reboots or to always run ipmi-chassis-config during system  initializa‐
       tion.

       For  configuration  of general BMC parameters, platform event filtering
       (PEF), or sensors, please see the bmc-config(8), ipmi-pef-config(8), or
       ipmi-sensors-config(8)  tools  respectively. For some OEM specific con‐
       figurations, please see ipmi-oem(8).

       Listed below are general IPMI options, tool specific  options,  trouble
       shooting	 information,  workaround  information,	 examples,  and	 known
       issues. For a general introduction to FreeIPMI please see  freeipmi(7).
       See  GENERAL  USE  below for a description on how most will want to use
       Ipmi-chassis-config.

GENERAL OPTIONS
       The following options are general options for configuring IPMI communi‐
       cation and executing general tool commands.

       -D IPMIDRIVER, --driver-type=IPMIDRIVER
	      Specify  the  driver type to use instead of doing an auto selec‐
	      tion.  The currently available outofband	drivers	 are  LAN  and
	      LAN_2_0,	which  perform IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 respectively. The
	      currently available inband drivers are KCS, SSIF, OPENIPMI,  and
	      SUNBMC.

       --disable-auto-probe
	      Do not probe in-band IPMI devices for default settings.

       --driver-address=DRIVER-ADDRESS
	      Specify  the  in-band  driver  address to be used instead of the
	      probed value. DRIVER-ADDRESS should be prefixed with "0x" for  a
	      hex value and '0' for an octal value.

       --driver-device=DEVICE
	      Specify the in-band driver device path to be used instead of the
	      probed path.

       --register-spacing=REGISTER-SPACING
	      Specify the in-band  driver  register  spacing  instead  of  the
	      probed  value. Argument is in bytes (i.e. 32bit register spacing
	      = 4)

       --target-channel-number=CHANNEL-NUMBER
	      Specify the in-band driver target channel number	to  send  IPMI
	      requests to.

       --target-slave-address=SLAVE-ADDRESS
	      Specify  the  in-band  driver  target  slave number to send IPMI
	      requests to.

       -h      IPMIHOST1,IPMIHOST2,...,	     --hostname=IPMIHOST1[:PORT],IPMI‐
       HOST2[:PORT],...
	      Specify  the  remote host(s) to communicate with. Multiple host‐
	      names may be separated by comma or may be specified in  a	 range
	      format;  see  HOSTRANGED	SUPPORT below. An optional port can be
	      specified with each host, which may be useful in port forwarding
	      or similar situations.

       -u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
	      Specify  the username to use when authenticating with the remote
	      host.  If not specified, a null  (i.e.  anonymous)  username  is
	      assumed.	The  user  must have atleast ADMIN privileges in order
	      for this tool to operate fully.

       -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
	      Specify the password to use when authenticationg with the remote
	      host.   If  not  specified,  a null password is assumed. Maximum
	      password length is 16 for IPMI 1.5 and 20 for IPMI 2.0.

       -P, --password-prompt
	      Prompt for password  to  avoid  possibility  of  listing	it  in
	      process lists.

       -k K_G, --k-g=K_G
	      Specify  the  K_g	 BMC  key  to use when authenticating with the
	      remote host for IPMI 2.0.	 If  not  specified,  a	 null  key  is
	      assumed. To input the key in hexadecimal form, prefix the string
	      with '0x'. E.g., the key 'abc' can be entered  with  the	either
	      the string 'abc' or the string '0x616263'

       -K, --k-g-prompt
	      Prompt  for  k-g	to  avoid possibility of listing it in process
	      lists.

       --session-timeout=MILLISECONDS
	      Specify the session timeout in milliseconds. Defaults  to	 20000
	      milliseconds (20 seconds) if not specified.

       --retransmission-timeout=MILLISECONDS
	      Specify  the  packet  retransmission  timeout  in	 milliseconds.
	      Defaults to 1000 milliseconds (1 second) if not  specified.  The
	      retransmission  timeout  cannot be larger than the session time‐
	      out.

       -a AUTHENTICATION-TYPE, --authentication-type=AUTHENTICATION-TYPE
	      Specify the IPMI 1.5 authentication type to use.	The  currently
	      available	 authentication types are NONE, STRAIGHT_PASSWORD_KEY,
	      MD2, and MD5. Defaults to MD5 if not specified.

       -I CIPHER-SUITE-ID, --cipher-suite-id=CIPHER-SUITE-ID
	      Specify the IPMI 2.0 cipher suite ID to use. The Cipher Suite ID
	      identifies a set of authentication, integrity, and confidential‐
	      ity algorithms to use for IPMI 2.0 communication. The  authenti‐
	      cation  algorithm	 identifies  the  algorithm to use for session
	      setup, the integrity algorithm identifies the algorithm  to  use
	      for session packet signatures, and the confidentiality algorithm
	      identifies the algorithm to use for payload encryption. Defaults
	      to  cipher  suite	 ID  3	if not specified. The following cipher
	      suite ids are currently supported:

	      0 - Authentication Algorithm = None; Integrity Algorithm = None;
	      Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      1	 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA1; Integrity Algorithm =
	      None; Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      2 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA1; Integrity Algorithm  =
	      HMAC-SHA1-96; Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      3	 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA1; Integrity Algorithm =
	      HMAC-SHA1-96; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

	      6 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity  Algorithm  =
	      None; Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      7	 -  Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm =
	      HMAC-MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      8 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity  Algorithm  =
	      HMAC-MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

	      11  - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm =
	      MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      12 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-MD5; Integrity Algorithm  =
	      MD5-128; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

	      15 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
	      = None; Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      16 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
	      = HMAC_SHA256_128; Confidentiality Algorithm = None

	      17 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm
	      = HMAC_SHA256_128; Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

       -l PRIVILEGE-LEVEL, --privilege-level=PRIVILEGE-LEVEL
	      Specify the privilege level to be used. The currently  available
	      privilege	 levels	 are  USER,  OPERATOR,	and ADMIN. Defaults to
	      ADMIN if not specified.

       --config-file=FILE
	      Specify an alternate configuration file.

       -W WORKAROUNDS, --workaround-flags=WORKAROUNDS
	      Specify workarounds to vendor compliance issues. Multiple	 work‐
	      arounds  can be specified separated by commas. A special command
	      line flag of "none", will indicate no workarounds (may be useful
	      for overriding configured defaults). See WORKAROUNDS below for a
	      list of available workarounds.

       --debug
	      Turn on debugging.

       -?, --help
	      Output a help list and exit.

       --usage
	      Output a usage message and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Output the program version and exit.

CONFIG OPTIONS
       The following options are used to read, write, and find differences  in
       configuration values.

       -o, --checkout
	      Fetch configuration information.

       -c, --commit
	      Update  configuration  information  from	a  config  file or key
	      pairs.

       -d, --diff
	      Show differences between stored information and a config file or
	      key pairs.

       -n FILENAME, --filename=FILENAME
	      Specify a config file for checkout/commit/diff.

       -e "KEY=VALUE", --key-pair="KEY=VALUE"
	      Specify KEY=VALUE pairs for checkout/commit/diff. Specify KEY by
	      SectionName:FieldName. This option can be used  multiple	times.
	      On  commit,  any KEY=VALUE pairs will overwrite any pairs speci‐
	      fied in a file with --filename.

       -S SECTION, --section=SECTION
	      Specify a SECTION for checkout. This option can be used multiple
	      times.

       -L, --listsections
	      List  available sections for checkout. Some sections in the list
	      may not be checked out by default and may require	 verbosity  to
	      be increased.

       -v, --verbose
	      Output  verbose  information.  When  used with --checkout, addi‐
	      tional uncommon sections and/or fields will be shown.

       -vv    Output very  verbose  information.  Output  additional  detailed
	      information about what fields can and cannot be checked out, and
	      sometimes the reason why. Sometimes output fields that are iden‐
	      tified as unsupported on the motherboard.

HOSTRANGED OPTIONS
       The following options manipulate hostranged output. See HOSTRANGED SUP‐
       PORT below for additional information on hostranges.

       -B, --buffer-output
	      Buffer hostranged output. For each node, buffer standard	output
	      until the node has completed its IPMI operation. When specifying
	      this option, data may appear to output slower to the user	 since
	      the  the entire IPMI operation must complete before any data can
	      be output.  See HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional informa‐
	      tion.

       -C, --consolidate-output
	      Consolidate hostranged output. The complete standard output from
	      every node specified will be consolidated	 so  that  nodes  with
	      identical	 output are not output twice. A header will list those
	      nodes with the consolidated output. When this option  is	speci‐
	      fied,  no	 output	 can  be seen until the IPMI operations to all
	      nodes has completed. If the  user	 breaks	 out  of  the  program
	      early,  all  currently  consolidated  output will be dumped. See
	      HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional information.

       -F NUM, --fanout=NUM
	      Specify multiple host fanout. A  "sliding	 window"  (or  fanout)
	      algorithm is used for parallel IPMI communication so that slower
	      nodes or timed out nodes will not impede parallel communication.
	      The maximum number of threads available at the same time is lim‐
	      ited by the fanout. The default is 64.

       -E, --eliminate
	      Eliminate hosts determined as undetected	by  ipmidetect.	  This
	      attempts to remove the common issue of hostranged execution tim‐
	      ing out due to several nodes being removed  from	service	 in  a
	      large  cluster.  The  ipmidetectd	 daemon must be running on the
	      node executing the command.

       --always-prefix
	      Always prefix output, even if only one host is specified or com‐
	      municating  in-band. This option is primarily useful for script‐
	      ing purposes. Option will be ignored if specified	 with  the  -C
	      option.

GENERAL USE
       Most users of will want to:

       A)  Run	with --checkout to get a copy of the current configuration and
       store it in a file. The standard output can be redirected to a file  or
       a file can be specified with the --filename option.

       B) Edit the configuration file with an editor.

       C) Commit the configuration back using the --commit option and specify‐
       ing the configuration file with the --filename option.  The  configura‐
       tion  can  be committed to multiple hosts in parallel via the hostrange
       support.

       Although not typically necessarily, some motherboards do not store con‐
       figuration  values  in  non-volatile  memory.  Therefore,  after system
       reboots, some configuration values may have changed. The user may  wish
       to  run configuration tools on each boot to ensure configuration values
       remain.

IPMI-CHASSIS-CONFIG SPECIAL CASE CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
       The	  Chassis_Front_Panel_Buttons:Enable_Standby_Button_For_Enter‐
       ing_Standy,	  Chassis_Front_Panel_Buttons:Enable_Diagnostic_Inter‐
       rupt_Button Chassis_Front_Panel_Buttons:Enable_Reset_Button, and	 Chas‐
       sis_Front_Panel_Buttons:Enable_Power_Off_Button_For_Power_Off_Only
       fields may not be able to be checked out on some IPMI  systems,	there‐
       fore  the  checked  out value may be blank. Some of these fields may be
       disableable, while some	are  not.   The	 Chassis_Power_Conf:Power_Con‐
       trol_Interval  field  cannot  be checked out. Therefore the checked out
       value will always be blank.

HOSTRANGED SUPPORT
       Multiple hosts can be input either as an explicit comma separated lists
       of  hosts  or  a	 range of hostnames in the general form: prefix[n-m,l-
       k,...], where n < m and l < k, etc. The later form should not  be  con‐
       fused  with  regular expression character classes (also denoted by []).
       For example, foo[19] does not represent foo1 or foo9, but rather repre‐
       sents a degenerate range: foo19.

       This  range  syntax  is	meant only as a convenience on clusters with a
       prefixNN naming convention and specification of ranges  should  not  be
       considered  necessary -- the list foo1,foo9 could be specified as such,
       or by the range foo[1,9].

       Some examples of range usage follow:
	   foo[01-05] instead of foo01,foo02,foo03,foo04,foo05
	   foo[7,9-10] instead of foo7,foo9,foo10
	   foo[0-3] instead of foo0,foo1,foo2,foo3

       As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and
       ])  for	pattern matching. Depending on your shell, it may be necessary
       to enclose ranged lists within quotes.

       When multiple hosts are specified by the user, a thread	will  be  exe‐
       cuted  for each host in parallel up to the configured fanout (which can
       be adjusted via the -F option). This will allow communication to	 large
       numbers of nodes far more quickly than if done in serial.

       By  default,  standard  output  from each node specified will be output
       with the hostname prepended to each line. Although this output is read‐
       able  in	 many  situations, it may be difficult to read in other situa‐
       tions. For example, output from multiple nodes may be  mixed  together.
       The -B and -C options can be used to change this default.

       In-band	IPMI  Communication  will be used when the host "localhost" is
       specified. This allows the user to add  the  localhost  into  the  hos‐
       tranged output.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
       Most often, IPMI problems are due to configuration problems.

       IPMI  over  LAN	problems  involve  a  misconfiguration	of  the remote
       machine's BMC.  Double check to make sure the following are  configured
       properly	 in  the remote machine's BMC: IP address, MAC address, subnet
       mask, username, user enablement, user privilege, password,  LAN	privi‐
       lege,  LAN enablement, and allowed authentication type(s). For IPMI 2.0
       connections, double check to make sure the  cipher  suite  privilege(s)
       and K_g key are configured properly. The bmc-config(8) tool can be used
       to check and/or change these configuration settings.

       Inband IPMI problems are	 typically  caused  by	improperly  configured
       drivers or non-standard BMCs.

       In  addition  to the troubleshooting tips below, please see WORKAROUNDS
       below to also if there are any vendor specific bugs that have been dis‐
       covered and worked around.

       Listed  below  are  many	 of the common issues for error messages.  For
       additional support, please e-mail the <freeipmi-users@gnu.org>  mailing
       list.

       "username  invalid"  - The username entered (or a NULL username if none
       was entered) is not available on the remote machine.  It	 may  also  be
       possible the remote BMC's username configuration is incorrect.

       "password  invalid"  - The password entered (or a NULL password if none
       was entered) is not correct. It may also be possible the	 password  for
       the user is not correctly configured on the remote BMC.

       "password  verification timeout" - Password verification has timed out.
       A "password invalid" error (described  above)  or  a  generic  "session
       timeout" (described below) occurred.  During this point in the protocol
       it cannot be differentiated which occurred.

       "k_g invalid" - The K_g key entered (or a NULL  K_g  key	 if  none  was
       entered)	 is  not  correct.  It may also be possible the K_g key is not
       correctly configured on the remote BMC.

       "privilege level insufficient" - An IPMI command requires a higher user
       privilege  than	the one authenticated with. Please try to authenticate
       with a higher privilege. This may require authenticating to a different
       user which has a higher maximum privilege.

       "privilege  level  cannot  be  obtained	for this user" - The privilege
       level you are attempting to authenticate with is higher than the	 maxi‐
       mum  allowed for this user. Please try again with a lower privilege. It
       may also be possible the maximum privilege level allowed for a user  is
       not configured properly on the remote BMC.

       "authentication	type  unavailable for attempted privilege level" - The
       authentication type you wish to authenticate with is not available  for
       this privilege level. Please try again with an alternate authentication
       type or alternate privilege level. It may also be possible  the	avail‐
       able  authentication  types you can authenticate with are not correctly
       configured on the remote BMC.

       "cipher suite id unavailable" - The cipher suite id you wish to authen‐
       ticate  with  is not available on the remote BMC. Please try again with
       an alternate cipher suite id. It may also  be  possible	the  available
       cipher suite ids are not correctly configured on the remote BMC.

       "ipmi  2.0  unavailable"	 -  IPMI  2.0 was not discovered on the remote
       machine. Please try to use IPMI 1.5 instead.

       "connection timeout" - Initial IPMI communication failed. A  number  of
       potential errors are possible, including an invalid hostname specified,
       an IPMI IP address cannot be resolved,  IPMI  is	 not  enabled  on  the
       remote  server,	the network connection is bad, etc. Please verify con‐
       figuration and connectivity.

       "session timeout" - The IPMI session has timed out.  Please  reconnect.
       If this error occurs often, you may wish to increase the retransmission
       timeout. Some remote BMCs are considerably slower than others.

       "device not found" - The specified device could not  be	found.	Please
       check configuration or inputs and try again.

       "driver	timeout"  -  Communication with the driver or device has timed
       out. Please try again.

       "message timeout" - Communication with the driver or device  has	 timed
       out. Please try again.

       "BMC  busy"  - The BMC is currently busy. It may be processing informa‐
       tion or have too many simultaneous sessions to manage. Please wait  and
       try again.

       "could  not  find inband device" - An inband device could not be found.
       Please check configuration or specify specific device or driver on  the
       command line.

       "driver timeout" - The inband driver has timed out communicating to the
       local BMC or service processor. The BMC or  service  processor  may  be
       busy or (worst case) possibly non-functioning.

WORKAROUNDS
       With  so	 many different vendors implementing their own IPMI solutions,
       different vendors may implement their IPMI protocols  incorrectly.  The
       following describes a number of workarounds currently available to han‐
       dle discovered compliance issues. When possible, workarounds have  been
       implemented so they will be transparent to the user. However, some will
       require the user to specify a workaround be used via the -W option.

       The hardware listed below may only indicate the hardware that a problem
       was  discovered	on.  Newer  versions  of hardware may fix the problems
       indicated below. Similar machines from vendors may or may  not  exhibit
       the  same  problems.  Different vendors may license their firmware from
       the same IPMI firmware developer, so it may be worthwhile to try	 work‐
       arounds listed below even if your motherboard is not listed.

       If  you	believe	 your hardware has an additional compliance issue that
       needs a workaround to be implemented, please contact the FreeIPMI main‐
       tainers on <freeipmi-users@gnu.org> or <freeipmi-devel@gnu.org>.

       assumeio	 - This workaround flag will assume inband interfaces communi‐
       cate with system I/O rather than being memory-mapped.  This  will  work
       around  systems	that report invalid base addresses. Those hitting this
       issue may see "device not supported" or "could not find inband  device"
       errors.	Issue observed on HP ProLiant DL145 G1.

       spinpoll	 -  This workaround flag will inform some inband drivers (most
       notably the KCS driver) to spin while polling rather than  putting  the
       process to sleep. This may significantly improve the wall clock running
       time of tools because an operating system scheduler's  granularity  may
       be  much larger than the time it takes to perform a single IPMI message
       transaction. However, by spinning, your system may be  performing  less
       useful work by not contexting out the tool for a more useful task.

       authcap	-  This	 workaround  flag  will skip early checks for username
       capabilities, authentication capabilities, and K_g  support  and	 allow
       IPMI  authentication  to	 succeed.  It  works around multiple issues in
       which the remote system does not properly report username capabilities,
       authentication  capabilities,  or  K_g status. Those hitting this issue
       may  see	 "username  invalid",  "authentication	type  unavailable  for
       attempted privilege level", or "k_g invalid" errors.  Issue observed on
       Asus  P5M2/P5MT-R/RS162-E4/RX4,	Intel  SR1520ML/X38ML,	and  Sun  Fire
       2200/4150/4450 with ELOM.

       idzero  -  This	workaround  flag  will	allow  empty session IDs to be
       accepted by the client. It works around IPMI sessions that report empty
       session	IDs  to	 the client. Those hitting this issue may see "session
       timeout" errors. Issue observed on Tyan S2882 with M3289 BMC.

       unexpectedauth - This workaround flag will  allow  unexpected  non-null
       authcodes  to  be checked as though they were expected. It works around
       an issue when packets contain non-null authentication  data  when  they
       should  be  null due to disabled per-message authentication. Those hit‐
       ting this issue may see "session timeout"  errors.  Issue  observed  on
       Dell PowerEdge 2850,SC1425. Confirmed fixed on newer firmware.

       forcepermsg  -  This workaround flag will force per-message authentica‐
       tion to be used no matter what is advertised by the remote  system.  It
       works  around an issue when per-message authentication is advertised as
       disabled on the remote system, but it is actually required for the pro‐
       tocol.  Those  hitting  this  issue  may	 see "session timeout" errors.
       Issue observed on IBM eServer 325.

       endianseq - This workaround flag will flip the endian  of  the  session
       sequence	 numbers  to  allow the session to continue properly. It works
       around IPMI 1.5 session sequence numbers that  are  the	wrong  endian.
       Those  hitting  this  issue  may	 see  "session	timeout" errors. Issue
       observed on  some  Sun  ILOM  1.0/2.0  (depends	on  service  processor
       endian).

       noauthcodecheck	- This workaround flag will tell FreeIPMI to not check
       the authentication codes returned from IPMI 1.5 command	responses.  It
       works  around  systems  to  return  invalid authentication codes due to
       hashing or implementation errors. Users are cautioned  on  the  use  of
       this option, as it removes an authentication check verifying the valid‐
       ity of a packet. However, in most organizations, this is unlikely to be
       a  security  issue.  Those hitting this issue may see "connection time‐
       out", "session timeout", or  "password  verification  timeout"  errors.
       Issue observed on Xyratex FB-H8-SRAY.

       intel20	- This workaround flag will work around several Intel IPMI 2.0
       authentication issues. The issues covered include padding of usernames,
       and  password  truncation  if  the  authentication  algorithm  is HMAC-
       MD5-128. Those hitting this issue may see "username invalid", "password
       invalid",  or  "k_g  invalid" errors. Issue observed on Intel SE7520AF2
       with Intel Server Management Module (Professional Edition).

       supermicro20 - This workaround flag will work around several Supermicro
       IPMI  2.0  authentication  issues  on  motherboards  w/	Peppercon IPMI
       firmware. The issues covered include handling invalid length  authenti‐
       cation  codes.  Those  hitting  this  issue  may see "password invalid"
       errors.	Issue observed on Supermicro H8QME with SIMSO  daughter	 card.
       Confirmed fixed on newerver firmware.

       sun20 - This workaround flag will work work around several Sun IPMI 2.0
       authentication issues. The issues covered include invalid lengthed hash
       keys,  improperly  hashed keys, and invalid cipher suite records. Those
       hitting this issue may see "password invalid" or	 "bmc  error"  errors.
       Issue  observed	on Sun Fire 4100/4200/4500 with ILOM.  This workaround
       automatically includes the "opensesspriv" workaround.

       opensesspriv - This workaround flag will slightly alter FreeIPMI's IPMI
       2.0 connection protocol to workaround an invalid hashing algorithm used
       by the remote system. The privilege level sent during the Open  Session
       stage of an IPMI 2.0 connection is used for hashing keys instead of the
       privilege level sent during the RAKP1 connection stage.	Those  hitting
       this  issue may see "password invalid", "k_g invalid", or "bad rmcpplus
       status code" errors.  Issue observed on Sun  Fire  4100/4200/4500  with
       ILOM, Inventec 5441/Dell Xanadu II, Supermicro X8DTH, Supermicro X8DTG,
       Intel S5500WBV/Penguin Relion 700, Intel S2600JF/Appro 512X, and Quanta
       QSSC-S4R//Appro	GB812X-CN.  This workaround is automatically triggered
       with the "sun20" workaround.

       integritycheckvalue - This workaround flag will work around an  invalid
       integrity  check	 value	during	an IPMI 2.0 session establishment when
       using Cipher Suite ID 0. The integrity check value should be 0  length,
       however	the  remote motherboard responds with a non-empty field. Those
       hitting this issue may see "k_g	invalid"  errors.  Issue  observed  on
       Supermicro  X8DTG,  Supermicro X8DTU, and Intel S5500WBV/Penguin Relion
       700, and Intel S2600JF/Appro 512X.

       No IPMI 1.5 Support - Some motherboards that support IPMI 2.0 have been
       found  to  not support IPMI 1.5. Those hitting this issue may see "ipmi
       2.0 unavailable" or "connection timeout"	 errors.  This	issue  can  be
       worked  around  by  using  IPMI	2.0  instead of IPMI 1.5 by specifying
       --driver-address=LAN_2_0. Issue observed on HP Proliant DL 145.

       slowcommit - This workaround will slow  down  commits  to  the  BMC  by
       sleeping	 one  second  between  the commit of sections. It works around
       motherboards that have BMCs that can be overwhelmed by commits.	 Those
       hitting	this  issue may see commit errors or commits not being written
       to the BMC. Issue observed on Supermicro H8QME.

       veryslowcommit - This workaround will slow down commits to the  BMC  by
       sleeping	 one  second  between the commit of every key. It works around
       motherboards that have BMCs that can be overwhelmed by commits.	 Those
       hitting	this  issue may see commit errors or commits not being written
       to the BMC. Issue observed on Quanta S99Q/Dell FS12-TY.

EXAMPLES
       # ipmi-chassis-config --checkout

       Output all configuration information to the console.

       # ipmi-chassis-config --checkout --filename=chassis-data1.conf

       Store all BMC configuration information in chassis-data1.conf.

       # ipmi-chassis-config --diff --filename=chassis-data2.conf

       Show all difference between the current configuration and the  chassis-
       data2.conf file.

       # ipmi-chassis-config --commit --filename=chassis-data1.conf

       Commit all configuration values from the chassis-data1.conf file.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Upon  successful	 execution, exit status is 0. On error, exit status is
       1.

       If multiple hosts are specified for communication, the exit status is 0
       if  and	only  if  all targets successfully execute. Otherwise the exit
       status is 1.

KNOWN ISSUES
       On older operating systems, if you input your username,	password,  and
       other  potentially  security  relevant information on the command line,
       this information may be discovered by other users when using tools like
       the  ps(1) command or looking in the /proc file system. It is generally
       more secure to input password information with options like the	-P  or
       -K  options.  Configuring security relevant information in the FreeIPMI
       configuration file would also be an appropriate way to hide this infor‐
       mation.

       In  order  to  prevent  brute force attacks, some BMCs will temporarily
       "lock up" after a number of remote authentication errors. You may  need
       to  wait awhile in order to this temporary "lock up" to pass before you
       may authenticate again.
