Hi Abhishek,

> so is there any command for doing the same without using IPMITool.

Yes, there is, you can use bmc-config.

> /usr/sbin/bmc-config --commit -k
"LAN_Channel:Volatile_Access_Mode=Always_Available"
> /usr/sbin/bmc-config --commit -k
"LAN_Channel:Non_Volatile_Access_Mode=Always_Available"

Doing this on the command line may look confusing.  You may wish to
instead checkout a bmc configuration file, edit it, and recommi.
