Hi list, I've got 2 new hp dl320 machines. The problem is I'm having a hard time setting up sol on them. According to the tech specs these boxen support ilo 2 / ipmi v2 so it should be possible. In the firmware, we configured ip's for the ilo cards and setup an account. I can ssh $u...@$ip just fine (though with this method you cannot get a login console for the host system), however: IPMI_PASSWORD=$pass ipmitool -I lanplus -H $ip -U $user -E sol activate gives: Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session Error: No response activating SOL payload I'm not sure, but it looks like the problem (or a related one) is that there are no "lan channels" (see below)
I tried: ipmitool mc reset cold ipmitool mc reset warm but this did not seem to do anything This command shows that apparently all channels are not lan channels. # for i in `seq 0 1000`; do ipmitool lan print $i 2>&1 | grep -i 'invalid' | grep -i 'not a lan channel'; done # Here are the channels that are not "reserved": een:~# for i in `seq 0 1000`; do res="`ipmitool channel info $i | grep 'Type' | grep -v reserved`"; [ -n "$res" ] && echo -e "Chan $i\n$res"; done Chan 7 Channel Medium Type : Unknown (0x60) Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 14 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 15 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 263 Channel Medium Type : Unknown (0x60) Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 270 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 271 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 519 Channel Medium Type : Unknown (0x60) Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 526 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 527 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 775 Channel Medium Type : Unknown (0x60) Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 782 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS Chan 783 Channel Medium Type : System Interface Channel Protocol Type : KCS The upper limit of 1000 is something I made up. I'm suprised it can even go that far. According to most tutorials channel 1 should be the lan (SOL) channel on most systems. een:~# lsmod | grep ipmi ipmi_devintf 13200 0 ipmi_si 43756 0 ipmi_msghandler 38520 2 ipmi_devintf,ipmi_si Thanks, Dieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Ipmitool-devel mailing list Ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipmitool-devel
