Well, first of all, ipmitool is not part of the openipmi package, it is a separate tool. But it's probably what you want.
You probably don't have the IPMI driver loaded or your board does not have IPMI support. IIRC, RHEL 6 should automatically load the driver, so my suspicion is the latter. You can try to "modprobe ipmi_si" and look in /proc/ipmi. You should see "0" (for interface zero) there if it work. If that works, "modprobe ipmi_devintf" for to get the device interface and you should be good to go. If not, and if you are sure you have a board with IPMI support, it might have a serial or SMB interface. You will require kernel patches for that to work. If your board has a system interface supported by the standard kernel, then there may be a bug someplace, either in the driver or in the interface. If you don't have IPMI support, you can probably still get to the temperature sensors via I2C. -corey On 07/28/2011 11:02 AM, Bob Sauvage wrote: > Hello * > > New to IPMI world, I want to get info about fans and temperatures of my > server. > > My server is running under RHEL 6 with this kernel : > /2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64./ > > I installed this OpenIPMI package : /OpenIPMI.x86_64 2.0.16-12.el6/ and > this ipmitool package : /ipmitool.x86_64 1.8.11-7.el6/. > > But when I launch this command, it fails : > > /ipmitool sel list > Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No > such file or directory > Get SEL Info command failed/ > > It seems that the driver is not correctly binded to the device ? > > Someone can help me ? > > Thanks a lot ! > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Got Input?
