Hi all. I'm having a bit of a hard time getting remote ipmitool commands
to work on a Relion 1600 from Penguin Computing. Local ipmitool commands
work fine, but when I try to connect from another machine, I start
running into problems...
This is a rather verbose email, as I'm going to go through everything I
do step by step with lots of output. Hopefully someone will be able to
see where I am going wrong.
First of all, let's look at the default settings that the machien
shipped with:
====================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool lan print 2
Set in Progress : Set Complete
Auth Type Support : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
Auth Type Enable : Callback : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: User : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: Operator : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: Admin : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: OEM : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
IP Address Source : Static Address
IP Address : 192.168.2.100
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
MAC Address : 00:a0:d1:e5:d1:8b
SNMP Community String : public
IP Header : TTL=0x40 Flags=0x40 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x10
Default Gateway IP : 192.168.2.203
802.1q VLAN ID : Disabled
802.1q VLAN Priority : 0
RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3
Cipher Suite Priv Max : Not Available
=======================================================
Now I'm going to use ipmitool to set the IP address to something I can
access from the Internet. First, we'll look at my network settings for
eth0 on the server:
=======================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:D1:E5:D1:88
inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.206
Bcast:XXX.XXX.XXX.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
XXX.XXX.XXX.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth0
0.0.0.0 XXX.XXX.XXX.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 eth0
=================================================================
The server is configured for XXX.XXX.XXX.206, so to avoid any potential
conflicts, I'm going to set the BMC for XXX.XXX.XXX.205 using ipmitool:
==================================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool lan set 2 ipaddr XXX.XXX.XXX.205
Setting LAN IP Address to XXX.XXX.XXX.205
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool lan set 2 defgw ipaddr XXX.XXX.XXX.1
Setting LAN Default Gateway IP to XXX.XXX.XXX.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool lan print 2
Set in Progress : Set Complete
Auth Type Support : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
Auth Type Enable : Callback : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: User : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: Operator : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: Admin : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
: OEM : NONE MD5 PASSWORD
IP Address Source : Static Address
IP Address : XXX.XXX.XXX.205
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
MAC Address : 00:a0:d1:e5:d1:8b
SNMP Community String : public
IP Header : TTL=0x40 Flags=0x40 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x10
Default Gateway IP : XXX.XXX.XXX.1
802.1q VLAN ID : Disabled
802.1q VLAN Priority : 0
RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3
Cipher Suite Priv Max : Not Available
=======================================================
The public IP address is now configured. Let's check the channel access:
========================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool channel getaccess 2 1
Maximum User IDs : 16
Enabled User IDs : 14
User ID : 1
User Name :
Fixed Name : Yes
Access Available : call-in / callback
Link Authentication : disabled
IPMI Messaging : enabled
Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR
========================================================
And the general information:
========================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool channel info 2
Channel 0x2 info:
Channel Medium Type : 802.3 LAN
Channel Protocol Type : IPMB-1.0
Session Support : multi-session
Active Session Count : 0
Protocol Vendor ID : 7154
Volatile(active) Settings
Alerting : enabled
Per-message Auth : enabled
User Level Auth : enabled
Access Mode : always available
Non-Volatile Settings
Alerting : enabled
Per-message Auth : enabled
User Level Auth : enabled
Access Mode : always available
=========================================================
And now I'm going to set the password to 'admin':
==========================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool lan set 2 password admin
Password set for user 1
==========================================================
And now, finally, I go to my other computer and try to use ipmitool with
both lan and lanplus. Here is the failure:
===========================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /pkg/ipmitool/1.8.9/bin/ipmitool -I lanplus -H
XXX.XXX.XXX.205
chassis status
Password:
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Error sending Chassis Status command
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /pkg/ipmitool/1.8.9/bin/ipmitool -I lan -H XXX.XXX.XXX.205
chassis status
Password:
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Error sending Chassis Status command
=============================================================
I feel like there is some simple, obvious thing that I am overlooking.
Any suggestions?
