6. Set boot device for next system restart

ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootdev <device>

Currently supported devices:

device function
none do not change boot device
pxe boot from pxe
disk boot from BIOS default boot device
safe boot from BIOS default boot device,but requires a safe mode
diag boot from the diagnostic partition
cdrom boot from the CD/DVD
bios enter bios settings

If you want to make your override persistent over reboots use the persistent option:

ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootdev <device> options=persistent

If the main host machine is based on the x86 CPU you need also pay attention to the legacy/EFI mode selector. By default IPMI overrides boot source with the legacy mode enabled. To set EFI mode use efiboot option:

ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootdev <device> options=efiboot

You can combine options with a help of ,:

ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootdev <device> options=persistent,efiboot

To read current boot source override setting:

ipmitool -C 17 -H "$BMC_IP" -I lanplus -U "$BMC_USER" -P "$BMC_PASSWD" chassis bootparam get 5

7. Control panel logo light
