Examples

Example-1: Configure an IPMI over LAN policy with admin privilege and encryption, with environment tags.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          ipmi_over_lan:
            - name: MyIpmiPolicy
              enabled: true
              privilege: admin
              encryption_key: !env IPMI_ENCRYPTION_KEY
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: Configure IPMI with read-only privilege for monitoring-only access.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          ipmi_over_lan:
            - name: MyIpmiReadOnly
              enabled: true
              privilege: read-only

Example-3: Disable IPMI over LAN access for servers that do not require it.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          ipmi_over_lan:
            - name: MyIpmiDisabled
              enabled: false
