您要監控什麼呢？
CPU, Fan, Memory, Disk, Network or ??

可以考慮用Snmp，不過刀鋒的原廠應該都有提供相關的管理工具才對阿

The OpenIPMI Library

Raw access to IPMI is rather difficult to use. Parsing SDRs, scanning for devices on the IPMB bus, scanning for events, and handling all the pieces is rather complicated. The OpenIPMI library provides a higher-level abstraction of this, the user of the OpenIPMI library deals directly with sensors and entities and does not have to worry about the lower-level details of IPMI.

Note that the OpenIPMI library is not Linux-specific. It was written with an os-layer so it could be ported to other operating systems. Of course, it works by default on Linux, but I would like to see it running on other operating systems. It includes an IPMI LAN interface, an interface for the OpenIPMI driver, but interfaces for other drivers and connections could be written.

The OpenIPMI library also includes the ipmicmd program, a small program that lets you inject and receive messages. You can register for incoming commands, set your source IPMB address, and other nifty things, too.
