bios

Command Function

Collects BIOS information, including the boot type, cache mode, and PCIe rate.

  • Data collection supports the BMC mode (login required), iBMA mode, and BMC-skipping mode. When ipmitool is used for data collection, the report will not include information from modules that strongly depend on the BMC.
  • The iBMA mode is supported only for the root user and cannot be used to obtain SEL logs.
  • The iBMA version must be 2.11.0 or later. For details about how to download and install iBMA, see iBMA 2.0 User Guide.
