## NAME

hpionIBMblade - An openhpi sample application that shows how two (2) openhpi plugins can be used to display and manage resources of an IBM Blade with Basedboard Management Controller (BMC).

## SYNOPSIS

```
 hpionIBMblade [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] [ -X ] [ -h ]
 hpionIBMblade [--domain nn] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file] [--debug] [--help]
```

## DESCRIPTION

```
 hpionIBMblade shows how two (2) openhpi plugins can be used to display
and manage resources of an IBM Blade with Basedboard Management Controller (BMC).

 Both the ipmi and snmp_bc plugin have the same IBM Blade target.  Resources from
both plugins are combined to show a complete view of the IBM Blade.

 @@ WARNING @@ RESTRICTIONS @@ WARNING @@ RESTRICTIONS @@ WARNING @@ RESTRICTIONS @@

 This client application is designed to run **only** inband on an IBM Blade with Basedboard
Management Controller (BMC)
```

If no domain or host is selected, hpionIBMblade uses the default domain as specified in the openhpiclient.conf file.

## OPTIONS

### Help Options:

- **-h**, **--help**

  Show help options

### Application Options:

- **-D** *nn*, **--domain**=*nn*

  Select domain id *nn*

- **-X**, **--debug**

  Display debug messages

- **-N** *"host\[:port\]"*, **--host**=*"host\[:port\]"*

  Open session to the domain served by the daemon at the specified URL (host:port). This option overrides the OPENHPI\_DAEMON\_HOST and OPENHPI\_DAEMON\_PORT environment variables. If host contains ':' (for example IPv6 address) then enclose it in square brackets. For example: *"\[::1\]"* or *"\[::1\]:4743"*.

- **-C** *"file"*, **--cfgfile**=*"file"*

  Use passed file as client configuration file. This option overrides the OPENHPICLIENT\_CONF environment variable.

## SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE

```
    handler libipmi        {
        entity_root = "{SYSTEM_CHASSIS,2}"
        name = "smi"
        addr = 0
    }
    handler libsnmp_bc {
        host = "bc.mm.ip.address"
        version = "3"
        community = "bc_community"
        entity_root = "{SYSTEM_CHASSIS,1}"
        security_name = "myid"
