How to check whether AMT is enabled and provisioned under Linux

by

AMT (Active Management Technology) is a remote management technology used in Intel-based computers. To check whether AMT is enabled and provisioned under Linux, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install the Open Manageability Command Line Interface (AMT CLI) package:
$ sudo apt-get install intel-cmt-cat
  1. Use the intel-cmt-cat command to check the status of AMT:
$ intel-cmt-cat
  1. Look for the lines “FWStatus: Provisioned” and “Local FW Capabilities: Enabled”. If both are present, AMT is enabled and provisioned.
  2. To further verify that AMT is enabled, you can check the BIOS settings to see if the Intel AMT option is enabled.

Note that the exact steps to check the status of AMT may vary depending on the specific Linux distribution you are using.
