Hey Corey, For some reason, on your system, HP motherboard sends extra data for this particular IPMI payload.
192.168.1.22: Payload Unexpected Data: 192.168.1.22: ------------------------ 192.168.1.22: [ BYTE ARRAY ... ] = unexpected_data[12B] 192.168.1.22: [ 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h ] 192.168.1.22: [ 00h 00h 00h F5h ] FreeIPMI reasonably determines this payload is bogus and throws it out. I'm not really sure how to work around this. Can you do a --checkout with IPMI 1.5? i.e. --driver-type=LAN Al On Sun, 2012-07-29 at 10:20 -0700, Corey Osman wrote: > Please ignore my previous post as I forgot to plugin my ipmi device. > > > Here is the corrected output: > > > ipmi-chassis-config --username=admin > --password=password--hostname=192.168.1.22 --driver-type=LAN_2_0 > --debug --section=Chassis_Boot_Flags --checkout > > > http://pastebin.com/6E9R9VNG > > Note: this is an HP DL380 G5 with ilo 2 - version 2.0 firmware > > > Thanks, > > > Corey Osman > [email protected] > > > Green IT and Data Center Automation Specialist > > > > > > > > > > > On Jul 29, 2012, at 9:57 AM, Corey Osman <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Here is the out of running the following command (There were 9 total > > attempts with the output below): > > > > > > ipmi-chassis-config --username=admin > > --password=password--hostname=192.168.1.22 --driver-type=LAN_2_0 > > --debug --section=Chassis_Boot_Flags --checkout > > > > > > 192.168.1.22: ===================================================== > > 192.168.1.22: IPMI 1.5 Get Channel Authentication Capabilities > > Request > > 192.168.1.22: ===================================================== > > 192.168.1.22: RMCP Header: > > 192.168.1.22: ------------ > > 192.168.1.22: [ 6h] = version[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = reserved[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ FFh] = sequence_number[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 7h] = message_class.class[ 5b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = message_class.reserved[ 2b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = message_class.ack[ 1b] > > 192.168.1.22: IPMI Session Header: > > 192.168.1.22: -------------------- > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = authentication_type[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = session_sequence_number[32b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = session_id[32b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 9h] = ipmi_msg_len[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: IPMI Message Header: > > 192.168.1.22: -------------------- > > 192.168.1.22: [ 20h] = rs_addr[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = rs_lun[ 2b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 6h] = net_fn[ 6b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ C8h] = checksum1[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 81h] = rq_addr[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = rq_lun[ 2b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 1Eh] = rq_seq[ 6b] > > 192.168.1.22: IPMI Command Data: > > 192.168.1.22: ------------------ > > 192.168.1.22: [ 38h] = cmd[ 8b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ Eh] = channel_number[ 4b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = reserved1[ 3b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 1h] = get_ipmi_v2.0_extended_data[ 1b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 4h] = maximum_privilege_level[ 4b] > > 192.168.1.22: [ 0h] = reserved2[ 4b] > > 192.168.1.22: IPMI Trailer: > > 192.168.1.22: -------------- > > 192.168.1.22: [ 3Dh] = checksum2[ 8b] > > ipmi-chassis-config: connection timeout > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > Corey Osman > > [email protected] > > > > > > Green IT and Data Center Automation Specialist > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Jul 22, 2012, at 10:57 PM, Al Chu <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hi Corey, > > > > > > On Sun, 2012-07-22 at 13:20 -0700, Corey Osman wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > My ruby implementation is off to a great start but I had a few > > > > questions with regards to driver types and inband configuration. > > > > > > > > Since I will have no idea as to what kind of IPMI device needs > > > > to be > > > > controlled I need to make sure that everything appears automatic > > > > with > > > > regards to driver types and any kind of workarounds. > > > > > > > > My goal is to automatically detect driver type and workarounds > > > > to ease > > > > the pain for folks who use the ruby-freeipmi library. > > > > > > I admit I'm not sure of the best way to handle this and make sure > > > the > > > code is super-portable.
