Hi All.

I’m looking a playbook to find what hostname is running on supermicro servers. Basically if we want to know hostname we should open kvm console and find out.instead of that is there a way to get facts about super micro servers from ipmitool.

Thank you

Do you have any sample play book to get what is the hostname running on the super micro servers.

Ipmitool not getting outout hostname .
