Supermicro IPMI
Simple module for accessing and controlling the IPMI interface on Supermicro motherboards.
Installation
npm install supermicro-ipmi
Usage
First create an instance
var ipmi = require('supermicro-ipmi');
var server1 = new ipmi({
host: '', // IP Address/Hostname
port: 80,
username: 'ADMIN',
password: 'ADMIN'
});
Methods
getHostAddress()
Basic method to construct the URL for HTTP request
Example
console.log(server1.getHostAddress());
// example output: http://192.168.0.10:80/
login(callback)
Method to prevent code duplication of the login process required when performing actions via HTTP.
Arguments
callback(err)
- Action to perform once the login request has been made
Example
server1.login(function(err) {
if (err) {
callback(err);
return;
}
console.log('We are successfully logged in');
});
getCurrentPowerState(callback)
Get the current power state of the host.
Arguments
callback(err, powerState)
- Callback function for error/response handling
Example
server1.getCurrentPowerState(function(err, state) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
if (state == 1) {
console.log('The server is currently online');
} else {
console.log('The server is currently offline');
}
});
setPowerAction(powerAction, callback)
Perform a power action on the server
Arguments
powerAction
- Integer containing the power action to perform, see the table below for valid optionscallback(err)
- Callback function for error/success handling
All power actions are available within supermicro.powerAction
object.
|State|powerAction| |-----|-----------| |3|RESET| |0|OFF_IMMEDIATE| |5|OFF_ORDERLY| |1|ON| |2|CYCLE|
Example
server1.setPowerAction(supermicro.powerAction.ON, function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
console.log('Successfully sent request to power server on');
});
Notes
No doubt there are better ways to achieve this but without spending a considerable amount of time looking for alternatives I have simply reverse engineered the web GUI and made it into a module.
Not 100% sure if this will work on all versions of the Supermicro IPMI implementation, only been tested on my X9SCM-F board.
