Currently supported devices:
| device | function |
|---|---|
| none | do not change boot device |
| pxe | boot from pxe |
| disk | boot from BIOS default boot device |
| safe | boot from BIOS default boot device,but requires a safe mode |
| diag | boot from the diagnostic partition |
| cdrom | boot from the CD/DVD |
| bios | enter bios settings |
If you want to make your override persistent over reboots use the persistent
option:
$ ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootdev <device> options=persistent
If the main host machine is based on the x86 CPU you need also pay attention to
the legacy/EFI mode selector. By default IPMI overrides boot source with the
legacy mode enabled. To set EFI mode use efiboot option:
$ ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootdev <device> options=efiboot
You can combine options with a help of ,:
$ ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootdev <device> options=persistent,efiboot
To read current boot source override setting:
$ ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootparam get 5
7. Control panel logo light
