Hi,
I am new to IPMI.
I am trying to write a piece code to get hardware status thru IPMI interface to
my application.
I did some research of openIPMI, freeIPMI and ipmitool.
It seems openIPMI is more popular than freeIPMI and works for my DELL server.
So I don't worry about freeIPMI anymore.
Then I installed ipmitool, it seems no problem to get the info of my server.
But when I looked into the source code. I am confused.
Say if I just want to read temperature and fan RPM, should I use openIPMI API
(if there is a thing called openIPMI API), or just ioctl like ipmitool source
code does?
And I found for my Fedora 6, ipmi.h is under /usr/include/linux from
kernel-hearders-xxx.rpm.
But for my other system with RHEL, I can only find ipmi.h from kernel src or
openIPMI/ipmitool source.
Why the ipmi.h is not in a "public" area anymore?
Thanks.Sheng
