Hi,

 

I am using ipmitool on solaris 10 x86

details of os : SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_118855-14 i86pc i386 i86pc

 

ipmitool version 1.8.4

 

When i run commands like:

ipmitool chassis power diag

bmc_send_cmd: Permission denied

Unable to set Chassis Power Control to Diag

 

for:

ipmitool chassis bootdev disk

I get the following errors

bmc_send_cmd: Permission denied
Error setting Chassis Boot Parameter 4

I have not used this interface in awhile, but the obvious question is whether you are running as root or a user?  It may be possible to configure the bmc driver to allow non-root users to access the BMC but I don't think that is done by default on Solaris 10.
