Hi Corey:
I've been looking into using the ipmish as a method to utilize openipmi
library via a scripting. However, I've been having trouble getting it to
work....
I wish to interface to an ATCA shelf manager via LAN/RMCP. I've went over
the ipmi_cmdlang man pages and i'm still unclear how my command structures
should be. the "domain lan" option does not seem to include hostname, unless
domain itself is hostname?
My shelf address is 10.10.0.1. Do you have any suggestions?
Much Thanks
Morgan Yang
