Hi all, With version 1.2.1-6.el6_5 RPM from CentOS 6, when I ran 'ipmiconsole' and pasted in a fairly small amount of data (maybe 15 or so characters), I got "[error received]: excess retransmissions sent". I got a similar issue when writing about that much data from a Python script using libipmiconsole. I figured this means I should move on to a newer version.
With version 1.4.3, which I built from source with debugging enabled, it seems like I need to paste a bit more data to trigger problems. In this case, I don't get an error like the above, instead things just seem to get "stuck": I never seem to get a response from the remote system, but sending an escape sequence still works. I started ipmiconsole, pasted " 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" (54 characters long), then after a few seconds I used ".." to terminate: """ $ [...]/freeipmi-1.4.3/ipmiconsole/ipmiconsole -h hostname -u admin -p calvin -e . --debug --debugfile [SOL established] [closing the connection] """ The target is a Dell iDRAC7 with firmware version 1.56.55. I put some of the log file that was generated up at https://gist.github.com/dcoshea/e7a15e34395c09da2f81 (after replacing the hostname with "hostname"). If you go to line 889 [https://gist.github.com/dcoshea/e7a15e34395c09da2f81#file-gistfile1-txt-L889], this seems to be the part that relates to when I pasted in the text. It seems that ipmiconsole keeps re-sending the data and the iDRAC keeps responding with NACKs. The entire log contains 2000 of these messages: (ipmiconsole_processing.c, _sol_bmc_to_remote_console_packet, 2672): hostname=hostname; protocol_state=9h: SOL packet NACKED: accepted_character_count: accepted_character_count = 0, c->session.sol_input_character_data_len = 54 Thanks in advance, David _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-users mailing list Freeipmi-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users
