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 (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, jsonpath=, jq= (default "table")
      --set stringArray     override one configuration value as PATH=VALUE, repeatable
  -y, --yes                 answer the confirmation prompts with yes
