I'll try to figure it out and let you know, as the system I wanted it working on is Solaris. > Seems to work fine on my X4100 M2 machines :-) Starts up, reports status > correctly, resets etc. > > Btw., Sun has confirmed it's a bug that the state flag does not change. > The 2nd level support has requested a firmware update for the ILOM, but it's > not yet clear if it will be granted. I didn't realize anyone else was having the same issue. I'd got as far as confirming it in the latest x4500 firmware and forgot to report back on it, sorry. I assume they're not going to fix the ILOM 2 that we have, and I'd rather they fixed the hardware so that I didn't need the watchdog :-( (or a Nagios event handler currently), but maybe I should have tried raising a call on it. > Thanks a lot for the patch, now I can safely deploy the watchdog on all > our servers :-) I hope I can too! I'll try it on our x4500 and an x4100 when I get a chance. Thanks in advance, as normal, Al. _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-devel mailing list Freeipmi-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel
