double check with Supermicro as some vendors don't allow for ping to the
IPMI interface.  Dell is one.  you can in the firmware setup if ping is
allowed or not on some units and on some others it's just not pingable.

Thx all for replying.

I still don't understand "patched in" means. Since I have two on board
NICs, I plugged in both ports given ip address and I can ping both NIC
from outside. 

But I can't still ping IPMI card. I checked with vendor (Supermicro) and
they said it should use first NIC for IPMI. I checked the card and it is
blinking but it can't ping (but I can do everything except accessing it
via IP).

The Link Auth parameter being false should still work.  Mine is set up
that way and it works.

 

Perhaps what James mentioned is the key.   Making sure that you have
configured the right LAN channel that is connected.  

 

Is there a LAN channel dedicated to the IPMI card?  

How many IPMI LAN channels are there?

 

ipmitool channel info N

will show the IPMI channels, where N=1,2,3, etc. and the LAN channels
will have Medium Type = 802.3 LAN.

Andy,

For enabled user on my new IPMI card:

#ipmitool user list 1

ID         Name    Callin    Link Auth           IPMI Msg
Channel Priv Limit

1                      true       false                 true
ADMINISTRATOR

2          ADMIN  true       false                 true
ADMINISTRATOR

 

For old IPMI card:

ID         Name    Callin    Link Auth           IPMI Msg
Channel Priv Limit

2          ADMIN  true       true                   true
ADMINISTRATOR

3 ~ 10   NO ACCESS

 

Only difference I see is Link Auth. How can I set it up?

 

Thx again.

Paul

Paul,

 

ipmitool channel getaccess 1 

will list access for all users for the lan channel 1

 

ipmitool user list 1

will list the users that are enabled for lan channel 1

 

Andy

Thx for replying

 

Is the IPMI LAN channel enabled?

'Ipmitool -I open lan set 1 access on' Is this good enough to enable
channel?

Is the admin user enabled for the LAN channel?

How do I do this? 'ipmitool -I open lan set 1 user ADMIN' ?

Is the BMC IPMI 1.5 or IPMI 2.0?  

IPMI 2.0

 

Sorry if these basic questions. I am kind of new on ipmitool.

 

Thx again

Three things to check:

Is the IPMI LAN channel enabled?

Is the admin user enabled for the LAN channel?

Is the BMC IPMI 1.5 or IPMI 2.0?  

 

Andy

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] IPMI Unable to ping

Hi

 

I set IPMI up in RedHat 4 and now I am trying it in RedHat5 (with
different machines). I can set mac, ip, etc using ipmitool but I can't
access it from outside. It won't ping and if I do:

#ipmitool chassis power status -I lanplus -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -H
10.2.12.124

Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session

Unable to get Chassis Power Status.

 

 

Here is my setting:

                        : User     : MD5

                        : Admin    : MD5

                        :     X=Cipher Suite Unused

                        :     c=CALLBACK

                        :     u=USER

                        :     o=OPERATOR

                        :     a=ADMIN

                        :     O=OEM

 

 

This is the exact setting from my previous IPMI card. It has no problem
pinging (of course not from itself). I checked ip and mac address of the
NIC but they are different. I looked at BIOS, and it looks like my older
IPMI servers. 

Am I missing something? 

Oh here is HWs that I am using:

Supermicro H8DA3-2 with AOC-SIMLC

Supermicro H8DMU+ with AOC-SIMSO

 

Unfortunately, using old IPMI card on new board isn't an option (won't
fit). 

 

Thx
