Install IPMI utility to TrueNAS OS?

[ghughes]

Good afternoon, all!

We're building a new TrueNAS server, repurposing a Datto box with SuperMicro board and IPMI. We'd like to install the IPMI management utilities in the TrueNAS OS to manage things like IP address, user accounts, and so forth. The utility is a Linux-based ELF executable, which doesn't work when I try to run the CLI version.

Is it possible to get a Linux ELF to run in the TrueNAS OS, and has anyone had any success doing so?

Thanks to all for looking!

Not sure we are talking about the same thing, but FreeNAS 11 has ipmitool (command line tool), so I would assume TrueNAS Core 12 comes with that as well.

TrueNAS comes with the FreeBSD ipmitool command line program which is capable of interfacing with SuperMicro and other IPMI hardware.

You can search for a manual and guidance online, or issue man ipmitool from an SSH session.

I've found this site that appears to show some example commands for setting IP address, user accounts, and querying the IPMI hardware.

Hope this helps!
