On Dells running CentOS 6, we could use this command ipmitool delloem lcd set mode userdefined "$(uname -n | sed -e 's/..*//' )" to set the little LCD screen to display the system name, In the latest sevens, it fails, and gives me usage for the command... which displays exactly that syntax.
Anyone have a clue?
What do you get if you put "echo" before "ipmitool" to see the whole command instead of executing it?
Have you tried running it with a literal name for testing?
And instead of munging the output of uname, you can just do $(hostname -s)
