clusterctl bmc

clusterctl bmc

clusterctl bmc

Operate the service processors of the nodes

Synopsis

Reach the service processors out of band: read power state, change it, set what a machine boots next time, and talk to the Redfish interface directly.

Redfish is tried first by default, because IPMI over LAN ships disabled on current iLO, XCC and iDRAC firmware. Where IPMI is used, the tools run on the host that has a route into the management network and the password travels over standard input, never in an argument vector.

Power actions are destructive: they preview what they are about to do and ask first, they refuse protected hosts, and above a configured host count they ask for the count to be typed back.

clusterctl bmc [flags]

Options

  -h, --help   help for bmc

Options inherited from parent commands

      --config strings        configuration file or directory to read, repeatable (default: CLUSTERCTL_CONFIG or the search path)
      --context string        context to act on (default: the current one)
      --dry-run               report what would be done and change nothing
      --fanout int            how many hosts to work on at once, at least 1; caps the service processors and the names asked at once too, which fanout.max and CLUSTERCTL_FANOUT do not (default: from the configuration)
      --force                 allow protected hosts, and nodes the inventory does not know, to be touched
  -n, --nodes stringArray     node set to act on, for example 'exe[1-10],@rack:R02' (default: CLUSTERCTL_NODES)
  -o, --output string         output format: table, wide, json, yaml, nodeset, name, jq= (default "table")
      --progress string       how to show the progress of a command on standard error: auto, tty, counter, plain, none (default: CLUSTERCTL_PROGRESS, else auto, a live tree when standard error is a terminal; plain writes lines for a log)
      --progress-log string   append the progress events of a command to this file, one JSON object per line, created readable by you alone (default: CLUSTERCTL_PROGRESS_LOG; an empty one writes none)
      --set stringArray       override one configuration value as PATH=VALUE, repeatable
  -y, --yes                   answer the confirmation prompts with yes
