Reset my supermicro motherboard with a running truenas scale?

[KJM]

can i reset my supermicro motherboard with a running truenas scale?
Or do I have to disconnect/remove all disks and the nvme boot disk with truenas scale?


Everything is running fine but I played with the port settings so I can no longer get into me motherboard via ipmi.


Or is there any way to change the ports on me motherboard via truenas shell or truenas linux shell.


Gladly your help!

You can use ipmitool in truenas shell.

With what commands do I open it then so I can change the port and put it back.

hey mate have a read :

Supermicro IPMI Utilities | Supermicro Server Management Utilities | Supermicro

The SMCIPMITool is an out-of-band Supermicro utility that allows a user to interface with SuperBlade® systems and IPMI devices via CLI (Command Line Interface).

Need more info to answer. Do you know which port settings you changed and did you remember what you set them too? If you changed the IPMI port from 623 to something else, you will need to specify the port number on the command line for ipmitool -p portnumber.

If you changed the web interface, you can specify it in the url https://myserver:portnumber

I don't know if the SM tool above scans for port numbers or what so it might be smart enough to work out the new port.

All else failing, power down and reset in the bios, you can leave things connected in my experience.

IPMI tools running on the host don't need a network connection, they can access the BMC directly, so no network configuration (or even password) is required to use them.

You're right, went right past me as I hardly ever do any IPMI directly on the host.
