Running the executable installs ipmctl and makes it available via the command-line
and PowerShell interfaces.
Using ipmctl
The ipmctl utility provides system administrators with the ability to configure
Intel Optane DC persistent memory modules which can then be used by Windows
PowerShellCmdlets or ndctl on Linux to create namespaces on which file systems can
be created. Applications can then create persistent memory pools and memory map
them to get direct access to the persistent memory. Detailed information about the
modules can also be extracted to help with errors or debugging.
ipmctl has a rich set of commands and options that can be displayed by running
ipmctl without any command verb, as shown in Listing C-1.
