This is a good tool but there is another tool that allows you to connect to the BMC and gather a lot of information as well as give you control over things like power resets, power off and so forth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\">You need to have the Dell BMC tools loaded on a machine (like your workstation), the tools can be installed from the DVD that accompanies every Dell server. The tool is IPMISH.exe which will be located in the C: Program FilesDellSysMgtbmc directory. It is a command line tool so you will need to open a command window and navigate to the directory. I won&#8217;t go into a whole bunch of detail about all the command line switches as that is covered in the documentation that accompanies the install programs. Rather, I will highlight the basics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\">I find it easiest to use the tool in &#8220;interactive mode&#8221; as you can do many things in that mode.
