Hello Corey,
Thanks much for your response.
Actually i am working on openSolaris and hence i was looking to evaluate
libipmi.
The link is -
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libipmi/
I read about freeIpmi. It appears it is being written for Linux. Am i right? I
am sorry for prroviding incomplete information in my first email.
Thanks
Amit
