Dick, IPMITool has the 'session' option to know the details of each session.
"ipmitool session info all" If slot count and active sessions count are same, then no more session is possible. Note: If you are issuing this from LAN, the same session will also be listed. The console ip/mac would give lead to know the program running on which host has the sessions open. -RNG On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 11:49 PM, Detweiler, Dick < dick.detwei...@avocent.com> wrote: > Having dug a little deeper into the IPMI spec, I note that the resource > problem is generated at the very beginning of ipmitool establishing a > session as the managed system sends the error in its RAKP message 2 > response.
