Appendix - NVIDIA OEM IPMI Commands

Not all functionalities are covered with a standard set of IPMItool commands. Therefore, a set of custom NVIDIA IPMItool raw commands have been added. The first two parameters of the raw command are NetFN and CMD.

IPMItool raw commands follow the following format:

            ipmitool -C 17 -I lanplus -H <bmc_ip> -U <username> -P <password> raw <netfunc> <cmd> <data>

Where:

netfunc – network function which identifies the functional message class, and clusters IPMI commands into sets
cmd – one byte command within a network function
data – optional element which provides additional parameters for a request or response message

netfunc	cmd	data	Description
`0x32`	`0x66`	N/A	Factory reset
`0x32`	`0x67`	`0x00`	Disable vendor field mode settings to be run from Arm OS
`0x32`	`0x67`	`0x01`	Enable vendor field mode settings to be run from Arm OS
`0x32`	`0x68`	N/A	Fetch vendor field mode settings to be run from Arm OS
`0x32`	`0x6a`	`0`	Stops RShim on BMC
`0x32`	`0x6a`	`1`	Starts RShim on BMC
`0x32`	`0x69`	N/A	Retrieves RShim service status on BMC. Expected output: `0x00` – RShim inactive (default state) `0x01` – RShim active
`0x32`	`0x6b`	N/A	Gets the DNS server
`0x32`	`0x6c`	`0x0b 0x31 0x30 0x2e 0x31 0x35 0x2e 0x31 0x32 0x2e 0x36 0x37`	Adds the DNS server

`0x32`	`0x93`	N/A	Disable Livefish (FNP) mode
`0x32`	`0xa1`	`0x0`	OEM command `0xa1` is defined for various reset controls of BlueField from BMC under the OEM NetFn group `0x30`. `0x00` – hard reset of BlueField
`0x32`	`0xa7`	N/A	Gets NTP servers.
`0x32`	`0xa8 0x00`	`0x31 0x2e 0x69 0x6e 0x2e 0x70 0x6f 0x6f 0x6c 0x2e 0x6e 0x74 0x70 0x2e 0x6f 0x72 0x67`	Adds primary NTP server with address `1.in.pool.ntp.org`
`0x32`	`0xa8 0x01`	`0x31 0x2e 0x69 0x6e 0x2e 0x70 0x6f 0x6f 0x6c 0x2e 0x6e 0x74 0x70 0x2e 0x6f 0x72 0x67`	Adds secondary NTP server with address `1.in.pool.ntp.org` Note Should be added after a primary server has been declared.
`0x32`	`0xa8 0x02`	`0x01`	Enable time sync to NTP server
`0x32`	`0xa8 0x02`	`0x00`	Disables NTP time sync
