Ipmidetect(8)							    Ipmidetect							     Ipmidetect(8)

NAME

       ipmidetect - list detected and/or undetected IPMI interfaces in a cluster

SYNOPSIS

       ipmidetect [OPTION...] [NODES...]

DESCRIPTION

       ipmidetect  lists  which  IPMI  nodes  have been detected or undetected in a cluster.  This information is provided by the libipmidetect(3)
       library and ipmidetectd(8) daemon.

       ipmidetect will output the status of each IPMI node configured with ipmidetectd(8) unless they are specified on the command  line.  If  the
       first node listed is "-", nodes will be read in from standard input. The nodes can be listed in hostrange format, comma separated lists, or
       space separated lists. See the section below on HOSTRANGED SUPPORT for instructions on how to list hosts in  range  format.  The  hostnames
       listed must be the shortened names of hostnames.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Print help and exit

       -v, --version
	      Print version and exit

       -o STRING, --hostname=STRING
	      server hostname (default=localhost)

       -p INT, --port=INT
	      server port (default=8649)

       -d, --detected
	      List only detected nodes

       -u, --undetected
	      List only undetected nodes

       -q, --hostrange
	      List nodes in hostrange format (default)

       -c, --comma
	      List nodes in comma separated list

       -n, --newline
	      List nodes in newline separated list

       -s, --space
	      List nodes in space separated list

HOSTRANGED SUPPORT

       Multiple hosts can be input either as an explicit comma separated lists of hosts or a range of hostnames in the general form: prefix[n-m,l-
       k,...], where n < m and l < k, etc. The later form should not be confused with regular expression character classes (also denoted  by  []).
       For example, foo[19] does not represent foo1 or foo9, but rather represents a degenerate range: foo19.

       This  range  syntax  is meant only as a convenience on clusters with a prefixNN naming convention and specification of ranges should not be
       considered necessary -- the list foo1,foo9 could be specified as such, or by the range foo[1,9].

       Some examples of range usage follow:
	   foo[01-05] instead of foo01,foo02,foo03,foo04,foo05
	   foo[7,9-10] instead of foo7,foo9,foo10
	   foo[0-3] instead of foo0,foo1,foo2,foo3

       As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and ]) for pattern matching. Depending on your shell, it may be  neces-
       sary to enclose ranged lists within quotes.
