通过ipmitool找回遗忘的iDrac地址
Background：
在使用Dell服务器的过程中，如果发生一下情况：可以进入系统，但是忘记iDrac卡的地址，在系统的某个Linux下，可以使用ipmitool这个工具来get一下硬件的信息，从而也能获得iDrac的地址。
ipmitool是什么：
对于我这类网工来说，百度百科给的解释已经够用了，简单说就是“IPMI（Intelligent Platform Management Interface）即智能平台管理接口是使硬件管理具备“智能化”的新一代通用接口标准。用户可以利用 IPMI 监视服务器的物理特征，如温度、电压、电扇工作状态、电源供应以及机箱入侵等。（来自百度百科的词条解释）”。
在IBM的官网上的一张图片也很有意思：
当然想要使用ipmi的话，需要先安装，默认的许多Linux是没有的，具体版本记不清了，Ubuntu和CentOS都是默认不带的。Ubuntu安装的方法如下，其实一个apt-get就搞定了，出那么一大坨东西，其实就是让你选个Y，然后就装好了。

安装好了之后，还有一步要做的就是载入支持 ipmi 功能的系统模块，这个步骤在IBM那个页面上也提到了，我自己的简单的理解就是安装驱动，也许这么理解是不对的
root@linux:~ # modprobe ipmi_msghandler
root@linux:~ # modprobe ipmi_devintf
root@linux:~ # modprobe ipmi_si
用这三条命令，就可以完成了，下面IPMI就可以使用了。
下面这个ipmitool lan print是一条显示lan的相关信息的命令，这里头就可以看到iDrac的地址了。

当然IPMI的功能不仅限于此，还有N多命令可以拿来好好耍耍。
