Looks like the BMC was misconfigured (incidently, which IBM model is in play here?)
If you can run ipmitool on the system you are trying to manage: # modprobe ipmi_si;modprobe ipmi_devintf;ipmitool lan print 1 Set in Progress : Set Complete Auth Type Support : NONE MD2 MD5 PASSWORD Auth Type Enable : Callback : : User : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD : Operator : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD : Admin : MD5 : OEM : IP Address Source : Static Address IP Address : 172.29.101.3 Subnet Mask : 255.240.0.0 MAC Address : 00:1a:64:f1:29:97 SNMP Community String : public IP Header : TTL=0x40 Flags=0x40 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x10 BMC ARP Control : ARP Responses Enabled, Gratuitous ARP Disabled Gratituous ARP Intrvl : 2.0 seconds Default Gateway IP : 172.16.0.1 Default Gateway MAC : 00:02:c9:04:99:f4 Backup Gateway IP : 0.0.0.0 Backup Gateway MAC : 00:00:00:00:00:00 802.1q VLAN ID : Disabled 802.1q VLAN Priority : 0 RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3,4 Cipher Suite Priv Max : XaaaaXXXXXXXXXX : X=Cipher Suite Unused : c=CALLBACK : u=USER : o=OPERATOR : a=ADMIN : O=OEM If the 'auth type enable' is missing md5: # ipmitool lan set 1 auth admin md5 |------------> | From: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Rajesh Mahadevan <rxmah...@gmail.com> | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | To: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Date: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |05/14/2010 11:12 AM | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Subject: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |[Ipmitool-devel] Need help on Error : Authentication Type NONE not supported | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hi, Firstly, I am sorry if this is not the right alias. If not, kindly point me to the right alias or forum. 1) Issue: I have like seven IBM servers for which I am trying to setup remote access via the ipmitool. From one of my linux workstations I was able to lauch ipmitool (1.8.11) from /usr/loca/bin and get the chassis status of six of seven IBM servers successfully. But just not able to get one server respond. The impitool reported back saying "Authentication type NONE not supported". All the seven servers are of the same type w/ same BIOS and IPMI version. So it really beats me why just one of them cannot respond. I have read multiple forums on the internet but just not able to find a solution. Any help would be highly appreciated. 2) Here is the output of the non-working server: ipmitool -l lan -H 6.11.2.1 -U rajesh -P rajesh shell -vv ipmitool> chassis status ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[0], open=[4461360] IPMI LAN host 6.11.2.1 port 623 Sending IPMI/RMCP presence ping packet Received IPMI/RMCP response packet: IPMI Supported ASF Version 1.0 RMCP Version 1.0 RMCP Sequence 255 IANA Enterprise 4542 ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4461360] Channel 01 Authentication Capabilities: Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR Auth Types : Per-msg auth : enabled User level auth : enabled Non-null users : enabled Null users : disabled Anonymous login : enabled Authentication type NONE not supported ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4461360] Channel 01 Authentication Capabilities: Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR Auth Types : Per-msg auth : enabled User level auth : enabled Non-null users : enabled Null users : disabled Anonymous login : enabled Authentication type NONE not supported Error: Unable to establish LAN session Failed to open LAN interface Error sending Chassis Status command 3) Here is the output of the a working server: ipmitool -l lan -H 6.21.2.1 -U rajesh -P rajesh shell -vv ipmitool> chassis status ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[0], open=[4461360] IPMI LAN host 6.21.2.1 port 623 Sending IPMI/RMCP presence ping packet Received IPMI/RMCP response packet: IPMI Supported ASF Version 1.0 RMCP Version 1.0 RMCP Sequence 255 IANA Enterprise 4542 ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4461360] Channel 01 Authentication Capabilities: Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR Auth Types : NONE MD2 MD5 PASSWORD OEM Per-msg auth : enabled User level auth : enabled Non-null users : enabled Null users : enabled Anonymous login : disabled Proceeding with AuthType MD5 ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4461360] Opening Session Session ID : 02002300 Challenge : aa4a3fbee78777295afaeacb9e3e2e47 Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR Auth Type : MD5 ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4461360] Session Activated Auth Type : MD5 Max Priv Level : ADMINISTRATOR Session ID : 02002400 Inbound Seq : 00000001 ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4461360] Set Session Privilege Level to ADMINISTRATOR opened=[1], open=[4461360] System Power : on Power Overload : false Power Interlock : inactive Main Power Fault : false Power Control Fault : false Power Restore Policy : always-off Last Power Event : Chassis Intrusion : inactive Front-Panel Lockout : inactive Drive Fault : false Cooling/Fan Fault : false Front Panel Control : none Thanks, Rajesh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Ipmitool-devel mailing list Ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipmitool-devel
