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
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
It sounds like your ipmitool was built without lanplus support. Try
ipmitool -h
and it will list under "Interfaces:" all of the protocols that it will
support. You may need to explicitly enable lanplus when you configure
the build.
