Hi Daniel,

I think I have not communicated you properly the actual issue. I want to
configure IPMI LAN setup(not blade sol setup).

This is the command to access BMC of a QS21/QS22.
IPMI_PASSWORD=<> ipmitool -I lan -H <hostname> -E chassis status

For this we need to configure LAN settings on QS21/QS22's BMC through
ipmitool.
I followed this doc http://buttersideup.com/docs/howto/IPMI_on_Debian.html

While configuring IPMI+LAN,  blade's sol session has been killed.I want to
know the procedure of configuring IPMI on Linux??

You access SOL from the aMM.

Jsut telnet on the aMM, use 'env -T blade[x]' to choose the blade and type
in 'console'.

That's it.

Daniel,

I followed
http://buttersideup.com/docs/howto/IPMI_on_Debian.html     HOWTO
If we are not setting up LAN at BMC,  How do we access BMC of test machine
remotely ?
How to we know its host name and ip address ?
$ipmitool -I lan -H <testmahine host name/ip > -E chassis status
Do we need to use ethernet Device IP, which is configured under Linux?

Hi Christian and Mohammed,

I don't understand why you have to setup SOL at all. It should work
out-of-the-box, so when you plug in the blade, SOL should go ready and work


Did you try this?

Hi Daniel,

Let me introduce Mohammed to you, he will be testing our QS22 IPMI support.

Mohammed (sorry for mixing up your surname and your last name in the
bugzilla)
has a problem with SOL (who hasn't ?).

Btw, I'd suggest to open a new bugzilla for this, as the bug that the text
is
coming from is tracking the code integration into RHEL5.2.

Daniel, can you figure out who can help Mohammed setting up his SOL
connection ?

Here's the text thats in the bugzilla:

<snip>
I could able to run testcase (1). Mentioned  above.
I got struck on second testcase.
Platform: QS22 with RHEL5.2 Beta-RC

steps:
======

chkconfig ipmi on
service ipmi start
tar zxvf ipmitool-1.8.9.tar.gz
cd ipmitool-1.8.9
./configure
make
make install
ipmitool -I open shell
ipmitool>lan set 1 ipsrc static
ipmitool>lan set 1 ipaddr 10.1.1.10
setting LAN IP address to 10.1.1.10
ipmitool>
Here , after one minute it comes out from SOL session and back to system
prompt
system>
when u try to open sol again....it says sol is not ready.

Any Comments that How to setup LAN on BMC? Am i trying in correct way?
