README
ipmi-rs
A Rust IPMI library.
This library is based on the IPMI v2.0 Revision 1.1 specification.
Examples
This repository contains several (useful) examples, which can be found in ipmi-rs/examples.
They have a configurable target, using the -c option. It supports the formats file://<path-to-ipmi-file> and rmcp://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>.
To see information produced by the examples, configure the log level using RUST_LOG. info is recommended.
get-info
This example usually has to be run as root.
This example will:
- Get SEL info
- (If supported) get SEL allocation information
- (If present) get the first SEL record
- Get the Device ID
- Get SDR info
- Get SDR repository info
- (If supported) get SDR allocation information
- Load all of the SDRs from the repository
- Attempt to read the value of all of the sensors from the SDR repository
sel
This example will read out and print the SEL (System Event Log) of your target. It can also be cleared by passing the --clear flag.
Project structure
This project contains three crates:
ipmi-rs-core: core primitives, commands, and other application independent structures.ipmi-rs: implements IO for interacting with IPMI systems based on primitives fromipmi-rs-core.ipmi-rs-log: logging/formatting for items fromipmi-rs-core(deprecated).
Supported commands
The following IPMI commands are currently supported in ipmi-rs-core:
| Command | Specification section |
|---|---|
| Get Device ID | 20.1 |
| Get Channel Authentication Capabilities | 22.13 |
| Get Channel Cipher Suites | 22.15 |
| Get Session Challenge | 22.16 |
| Activate Session | 22.17 |
| Get SEL Info | 31.2 |
| Get SEL Allocation Info | 31.3 |
| Reserve SEL | 31.4 |
| Get SEL Entry | 31.5 |
| Clear SEL | 31.9 |
| Get Sensor Reading | 35.14 |
| Get Device SDR Info | 35.2 |
| Get Device SDR | 35.3 |
| Get SDR Repository Info | 33.9 |
| Get SDR Repository Allocation Info | 33.10 |
| Get SDR | 33.12 |
Supported interfaces
ioctl-based IPMI device file
The Linux IPMI Driver is supported through the character device exposed by that driver, usually at /dev/ipmi<N>.
Access to this file generally requires root privileges.
RMCP
RMCP with the following authentication types is supported:
- Unauthenticated
- MD5
- MD2
RMCP+
RCMP+ is supported, but the subset of authentication, confidentiality, and integrity algorithms is limited.
| Authentication algorithm | Supported |
|---|---|
| RAKP-HMAC-SHA1 | Yes |
| RAKP-None | No |
| RAKP-HMAC-MD5 | No |
| RAKP-HMAC-SHA256 | No |
| Confidentiality algorithm | Supported |
|---|---|
| None | Yes |
| AES-CBC-128 | Yes |
| xRC4-128 | No |
| xRC4-40 | No |
| Integrity algorithm | Supported |
|---|---|
| None | Yes |
| HMAC-SHA1-96 | Yes |
| HMAC-MD5-128 | No |
| MD5-128 | No |
| HMAC-SHA256-128 | No |
