BMC Access scripts Installation: ./install.sh <directory in your path example ~/bin> I generally have a 'bin' directory in my home directory and have PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin in my .bashrc. Logging into the BMC bmc shell [OPTIONS] OPTIONS: -v|--verbose Print verbose information -b [BMC_IP BMC_PASSWORD] [BMC_DEVICE] BMC IP: IPv4/IPv6 IP of the BMC. This assumes that the BMC has the default ssh password. BMC PASSWORD: SSH password for the BMC. BMC DEVICE: Index provided by bmc devices (See bmc devices & bmc add-device) -p|--proxy [PROXY SSH USER/IP] [PROXY SSH PASSWORD] PROXY SSH USER/IP is of the form user@proxy_ip PROXY SSH PASSWORD is the password of the proxy If the BMC IP is not provided, this will log into the last used BMC. Most of the time if you reuse the BMCs (as I do) then you just need to call `bmc shell` Sending files to BMC bmc send [OPTIONS] SRC_FILE DEST_PATH OPTIONS: -v|--verbose Print verbose information -b [BMC_IP BMC_PASSWORD] [BMC_DEVICE] BMC IP: IPv4/IPv6 IP of the BMC. This assumes that the BMC has the default ssh password. BMC PASSWORD: SSH password for the BMC. BMC DEVICE: Index provided by bmc devices (See bmc devices & bmc add-device) -p|--proxy [PROXY SSH USER/IP] [PROXY SSH PASSWORD] PROXY SSH USER/IP is of the form user@proxy_ip PROXY SSH PASSWORD is the password of the proxy If the BMC IP is not provided, this will send the file into the last used BMC. Most of the time if you reuse the BMCs (as I do) then you just need to call `bmc send src/blah dest/blah` Receiving an image is the same as bmc recv Flashing an image to the BMC bmc flash [OPTIONS] FLASH_IMAGE OPTIONS: -v|--verbose Print verbose information -b [BMC_IP BMC_PASSWORD] [BMC_DEVICE] BMC IP: IPv4/IPv6 IP of the BMC. This assumes that the BMC has the default ssh password. BMC PASSWORD: SSH password for the BMC. BMC DEVICE: Index provided by bmc devices (See bmc devices & bmc add-device) -p|--proxy [PROXY SSH USER/IP] [PROXY SSH PASSWORD] PROXY SSH USER/IP is of the form user@proxy_ip PROXY SSH PASSWORD is the password of the proxy -f|--fru FRU FRU: Is the FRU name of the BMC. (Default FRU is 'bmc' can be changed in bmc-flash `FRU`) -c|--components [COMPONENTS LIST] COMPONENTS LIST: comma separated list of components. For example, if running: bmc flash -f bmc -c rom,bmc <flash image> this will call fw-util bmc --update --rom <flash image> fw-util bmc --update --bmc <flash image> -s|--sign Sign the image (Needs explicit installation of a bmc-sign script not provided) --noreboot By default, the tool will reboot the BMC after the update. This will allow us to change that default. If the BMC IP is not provided, this will flash the last used BMC. Most of the time if you reuse the BMCs (as I do) then you just need to call `bmc flash FLASH_IMAGE` TODO: This assumes that the target BMC uses fw-util. We might want to add an option for 'legacy'. Probably a 'bmc flashcp' which uses /mtd/<components>. Remember a device bmc add-device bmc-ip bmc-password [proxy proxy-password] This will store the device for ease access. Note this is stored in clear-text in ~/.bmc_devices. If the password is sensitive, don't do this. This allows you to call bmc shell -b 0 For example instead of typing all the information. Listing remembered devices $ bmc devices [ 0 ] fbtp-dvt(down) 172.23.97.166 [>1<] quanta-pvt1(down) 172.23.97.166 [ 2 ] fbtp-dvt2 172.23.97.166 Note, we will attempt at getting the current status of the BMC by pinging it. If it fails, this prints (down) next to the IP. It will also shows the last used IP ([>1<]). It does not have to be the first. Displaying the history bmc history Shows all the operations performed in the past. In case you want to recollect the IP of the BMC last used.
