are you sure? have you tried using lanplus instead of lan? (e.g. use
ipmitool -I lanplus) Never had this problem with our bog-standard dells.


I get this error:

ipmitool -H 10.0.0.26 -I lanplus -U root sol activate
Password:
Error loading interface lanplus

did you compile ipmitool yourself? it might be the libcrypto linking issue described not very satisfactorily here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01104.html

perhaps you compiled it without ssl support? It certainly looks like a client side issue rather than hardware.

Any clue what this might be? How can I get the lanplus interface
loaded? Is this a driver issue or does this mean that my BMC does not
have a lanplus interface at all.

The LAN interface does work file but apparantly "sol activate" needs lanplus.

ipmitool -H 10.0.0.26 -I lan -U root sol activate
Error: This command is only available over the lanplus interface
