Как использовать проект libfru / frugen для инвентаризации серверов

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Александр Амелькин. Я технический эксперт департамента разработки BIOS и BMC в компании YADRO, мейнтейнер проекта ipmitool , а также автор и мейнтейнер проекта frugen / libfru , о котором и хочу сегодня рассказать, тем более что совсем недавно я выпустил новую версию 3.0 этого пакета.

#ipmitool repository archived, developer suspended by #GitHub.

"Two weeks after this apparent user block and archiving of all the #OpenSource projects he maintains, there is no apparent resolution. The ipmitool project itself is at a standstill. There is no clear indication why GitHub blocked Amelkin but may have to do with him being based out of Moscow, #Russia as his repositories do not appear otherwise controversial."

Again, this is why you do not want to use #GitHub. This is why you SHOULD NOT use GitHub.

#HP #HewlettPackard #FixedIt
Just spent a couple of hours fixing the iLO4 in my DL80 Gen9.
Well, ok, let's be fair. I spent a couple of hours #fixing my own #misclick/#stupidity.
I decided to find out what would happen if I selected "FlexibleLOM" instead of "LOM" for the network interface in the iLO web config - and then lost the web config.
Queue "hponcfg".
I was able to download the current configuration using hponcfg to a file.. which I was able to parse for the interface (which ended up being at the top of the xml config....) and switch back to LOM, then upload the config back to the iLO with the same tool.
Now I've got the web interface back....
This is, of course, after about an hour of being disappointed that the standard #ipmitool commands just wouldn't work. #ThanksHP

The terminal I get at #ipmitool is notthe greatest. I can use keys to select options in e.g. the grub menu. But if I want to use them in the grub edit screen ('e'), it's tricky.

So I resort to Emacs key bindings: ctrl-p/ctrl-n (up/down), ctrl-f/ctrl-b (forward/backward) and ctrl-h (backspace).

A #Dell server at work won't boot (due to some special treatment we gave it). I was asked to connect through #iDRAC (Dell's remote management interface). I can power-cycle it, but the Java remote console doesn't work for whatever reason.

So I try to use #ipmitool instead:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H <host> -U <username> sol activate
