Pure Python IPMI Library

Features

native RMCP interface
legacy RMCP interface (using ipmitool as backend)
RMCP+ interface (using ipmitool as backend)
system (KCS) interface (using ipmitool as backend)
IPMB interface using the Total Phase_ Aardvark
IPMB interface using ipmb-dev driver on Linux

Tested Devices

Kontron mTCA Carrier Manager
Kontron CompactPCI boards
Pigeon Point Shelf Manager
HPE iLO3/iLO4
N.A.T. NAT-MCH
DESY MMC STAMP & related AMCs (DAMC-FMC2ZUP, DAMC-FMC1Z7IO)

Requirements

For IPMB interface a Total Phase_ Aardvark is needed. Another option is to use ipmb-dev driver on Linux with an I2C bus, driver of which supports slave mode: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/ipmb.html

For legacy RMCP, RMCP+ and system interface (KCS) the installtion of ipmitool is required.

Installation

Using pip '''''''''''''

The recommended installation method is using pip <http://pip-installer.org>__::

pip install python-ipmi

Manual installation '''''''''''''''''''

Download the source distribution package for the library. Extract the the package to a temporary location and install::

python setup.py install

Documentation

Example

Below is an example that shows how to setup the interface and the connection using the ipmitool_ as backend with both network and serial interfaces.

Example with lan interface:

.. code:: python

import pyipmi
import pyipmi.interfaces

# Supported interface_types for ipmitool are: 'lan' , 'lanplus', and 'serial-terminal'
interface = pyipmi.interfaces.create_interface('ipmitool', interface_type='lan')

connection = pyipmi.create_connection(interface)

connection.target = pyipmi.Target(0x82)
connection.target.set_routing([(0x81,0x20,0),(0x20,0x82,7)])

connection.session.set_session_type_rmcp('10.0.0.1', port=623)
connection.session.set_auth_type_user('admin', 'admin')
connection.session.set_priv_level("ADMINISTRATOR")
connection.session.establish()

connection.get_device_id()

ipmitool command:

.. code:: shell

ipmitool -I lan -H 10.0.0.1 -p 623 -L "ADMINISTRATOR" -U "admin" -P "admin" -t 0x82 -b 0 -l 0 raw 0x06 0x01

Example with serial interface:

.. code:: python

import pyipmi
import pyipmi.interfaces

interface = pyipmi.interfaces.create_interface('ipmitool', interface_type='serial-terminal')

connection = pyipmi.create_connection(interface)

connection.target = pyipmi.Target(0xb2)

# set_session_type_serial(port, baudrate)
connection.session.set_session_type_serial('/dev/tty2', 115200)
connection.session.establish()

connection.get_device_id()

ipmitool command:

.. code:: shell

ipmitool -I serial-terminal -D /dev/tty2:115200 -t 0xb2 -l 0 raw 0x06 0x01

Compatibility

Python > 3.6 is currently supported. Python 2.x is deprecated.
