salt.states.ipmi

Manage IPMI devices over LAN

The following configuration defaults can be defined in the minion, master config or pillar:

ipmi.config:
    api_host: 127.0.0.1
    api_user: admin
    api_pass: apassword
    api_port: 623
    api_kg: None

Every call can override the config defaults:

ensure myipmi system is set to network boot:
    ipmi.boot_device:
        - name: network
        - api_host: myipmi.hostname.com
        - api_user: root
        - api_pass: apassword
        - api_kg: None

ensure myipmi system is powered on:
    ipmi.power:
        - name: boot
        - api_host: myipmi.hostname.com
        - api_user: root
        - api_pass: apassword
salt.states.ipmi.boot_device(name='default', **kwargs)

Request power state change

name = default
  • network -- Request network boot
  • hd -- Boot from hard drive
  • safe -- Boot from hard drive, requesting 'safe mode'
  • optical -- boot from CD/DVD/BD drive
  • setup -- Boot into setup utility
  • default -- remove any IPMI directed boot device request
kwargs
  • api_host=localhost
  • api_user=admin
  • api_pass=
  • api_port=623
  • api_kg=None
salt.states.ipmi.power(name='power_on', wait=300, **kwargs)

Request power state change

name
Ensure power state one of:
  • power_on -- system turn on
  • power_off -- system turn off (without waiting for OS)
  • shutdown -- request OS proper shutdown
  • reset -- reset (without waiting for OS)
  • boot -- If system is off, then 'on', else 'reset'
wait
wait X seconds for the job to complete before forcing. (defaults to 300 seconds)
kwargs
  • api_host=localhost
  • api_user=admin
  • api_pass=
  • api_port=623
  • api_kg=None
salt.states.ipmi.user_absent(name, channel=14, **kwargs)

Remove user Delete all user (uid) records having the matching name.

name
string name of user to delete
channel
channel to remove user access from defaults to 14 for auto.
kwargs
  • api_host=localhost
  • api_user=admin
  • api_pass=
  • api_port=623
  • api_kg=None
salt.states.ipmi.user_present(name, uid, password, channel=14, callback=False, link_auth=True, ipmi_msg=True, privilege_level='administrator', **kwargs)

Ensure IPMI user and user privileges.

name
name of user (limit 16 bytes)
uid
user id number (1 to 7)
password
user password (limit 16 bytes)
channel
ipmi channel defaults to 14 for auto
callback

User Restricted to Callback False = User Privilege Limit is determined by the User Privilege Limit

parameter privilege_level, for both callback and non-callback connections.
True = User Privilege Limit is determined by the privilege_level
parameter for callback connections, but is restricted to Callback level for non-callback connections. Thus, a user can only initiate a Callback when they 'call in' to the BMC, but once the callback connection has been made, the user could potentially establish a session as an Operator.
link_auth
User Link authentication True/False user name and password information will be used for link authentication, e.g. PPP CHAP) for the given channel. Link authentication itself is a global setting for the channel and is enabled/disabled via the serial/modem configuration parameters.
ipmi_msg
User IPMI Messaging True/False user name and password information will be used for IPMI Messaging. In this case, 'IPMI Messaging' refers to the ability to execute generic IPMI commands that are not associated with a particular payload type. For example, if IPMI Messaging is disabled for a user, but that user is enabled for activating the SOL payload type, then IPMI commands associated with SOL and session management, such as Get SOL Configuration Parameters and Close Session are available, but generic IPMI commands such as Get SEL Time are unavailable.) ipmi_msg
