PowerEdge: How to edit Product Name and Board Product description through IPMITool

IPMITool allows for server IPMI management both locally and remotely.
Linux operating system media or an operating system repository can be used to install the IPMITool application.

RHEL:
# yum install ipmitool

Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt install ipmitool 

Alternatively download the RACADM tool for Linux operating system environment from Dell iDRAC Tools for Linux.

These tools include:

• RACADM Command-Line Interface (CLI): Enables scripting of iDRAC management operations
• IPMITool Provides local and remote IPMI management of a server.
  
  You may perform the below ipmitool commands to edit the Board Product and Product Name:

Command to change Board Product:
$ sudo ipmitool fru edit 0 field b 1 "Product-Name"

Command to change Product Name:
$ sudo ipmitool fru edit 0 field p 1 "Product-Name"

So, if a customer would like to get the output name as "PowerEdge XR11," so the commands would be as below:

$ sudo ipmitool fru edit 0 field b 1 "PowerEdge XR11"
$ sudo ipmitool fru edit 0 field p 1 "PowerEdge XR11"

Then validate the information with the following command:

$ sudo  ipmitool fru print 0
