Systems management

None of this is ready for use, do not reference this page yet RobH 17:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Systems management will eventually be handled completely via IPMI and the IPMI management script. This is a process that is currently ongoing, so not all information on this page can be accurately applied to all systems.

System management is done via the ipmi_mgmt script. This script is installed on iron, which is the operations task host.

Syntax is ipmi_mgmt <host> <commands>
