IPMI
This module provides power management capabilities to the DUT via the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). The dutagent forwards commands such as power on/off, reset, and status queries to the BMC of the DUT over the network.```
COMMANDS:
on Power on the device
off Power off the device
cycle Power cycle the device (off, then on)
reset Reset the device (hard reset, if supported)
status Show the current power status
The module connects to the BMC using a configurable host, port, user, and password.
⚠️ Security Warning: In this first implementation, the IPMI password is stored in plaintext in the configuration file. This poses a security risk and should only be used in trusted environments.
This module does not support reading stdin from the user or sending arbitrary IPMI commands. It is intended for basic chassis power control only.
See ipmi-example-cfg.yml for examples.
Configuration Options
| Option | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| host | string | Hostname or IP address of the BMC |
| port | int | Port number of the IPMI interface (default: 623) |
| user | string | Username for IPMI authentication |
| password | string | Password for IPMI authentication |
⚠️ Security Warning: Passwords are stored in plaintext in the configuration file in this first implementation. Future versions will implement secure credential storage mechanisms.

type IPMI ¶
type IPMI struct {
Host string // Host is the hostname or IP address of the DUT's BMC
Port int // Port is the port of the IPMI interface on the BMC. Default: 623

Password string // Password is used for IPMI authentication. WARNING: Unsavely stored as plaintext
Timeout string // Timeout is the duration for IPMI commands. Default: 10 seconds
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
IPMI is a module that provides basic power management functions for a DUT via IPMI. It allows sending power on, off, cycle, reset, and status commands to the device's BMC.
