The 'ipmitool bmc getenables' sends the Get BMC global enables command (NetFn App / Cmd 0x2F). This has nothing to do with the OEM commands. If you are running over the lan/lanplus interface, you might need to specify -L OEM in order to execute the OEM commands. Also, if the firmware firewall is enabled in the BMC, the commands might be disabled on certain interfaces/channels. You can test for this with the 'Get NetFn Support' and 'Get Command Support' commands from an API point of view. For first time tests, send the commands in raw format Ipmitool raw 0x3c ...
