In order to active SOL session, the user must have the USER privilege. Also, the Session must be established with the authentication enable. This means that you need also at least to use the Cipher Id 1 (see IPMI spec for all the details). It is preferable to add the '-C 1' option to your list of parameters. There is also another parameter that state the minimum privilege required to establish a SOL session parameter available with the command Get SOL Parameters - param #2). There is also the privilege possible for a specific channel.
As you can see, there is a lot of reasons why activate a SOL session may not work. Execute the command with -vvvvvv in order to get more input. I might be able to find the problem with the result.

On the host who have the ipmi card, i can do: # ipmitool -I lanplus -U ADMIN -H 195.101.129.45 -P ADMIN sol activate But from a different machine, i've got a "Error activating SOL payload: Insufficient privilege level". But I can execute other commands like power cycle etc.. What's wrong with privileges ? -- Olivier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
