Hi Peter, Assuming you're using a recent version of FreeIPMI, there's probably some IPMI non-compliance going on on your motherboard. The short guess is that the motherboard isn't properly reporting things to bmc-config correctly, and bmc-config gets confused and gives up. There's been a few IPMI issues for the HP DL145 already reported to me. Lets see if we can figure out what's going on. Can you send me the --debug output. Since the problem appears just in that section, how about running this to shorten the output
bmc-config --checkout --section=Rmcpplus_Conf_Privilege --debug > Any idea what could be wrong, or how to fix it? And could this be the > reason the network won't come up? Although it's always possible, it's unlikely this is the cause of IPMI over LAN not working. Can you get an ipmiping (/usr/sbin/ipmiping) to work? If yes that would point to it being an authentication problem (e.g. username/password/privilege, etc.), if no, possibly a more basic networking issue (subnetting, routing, etc.). I haven't played with this motherboard specifically, but a few recent ones I've encountered require you to hard-reset (e.g. power button push) the motherboard for configuration changes to "stick". It certainly can't hurt to try. Al On Mon, 2010-11-15 at 15:29 -0800, Peter Selby wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'm trying to configure the BMC on an HP ProLiant DL145 G2 using > bmc-config.
