although it might be a moot point - after fighting through the ipmi 
specification I came to the conclusion that ipmi does not offer this feature in 
the first place (the only reference I found to boot device was via a chassis 
command, and specificaly says NEXT boot only *sad panda*)

thanks for the quick replies
Michael

Good point, 'ipmiutil reset' sets the boot options if one of the boot device 
options are specified [-befhpms], but just one-time only.
For attempting to make that more permanent, an option could be added to 
ipmiutil reset.

I need to set the boot device (permanently) on 24 supermicro server - 
outofbound is RCMP+ only, and ipmiutil does not allow to set the bootdev (or 
I'm too stupid to find it)

best regards
Michael

Michael,

I've run across that before, but the source to the Sun Windows port was not 
available, and was not open, even before the Oracle deal.
It uses a Sun Windows driver for local access, which I'm not very familiar with.
The cygwin build of ipmitool can be used for Windows clients over IPMI 
LAN/LANPlus, but not locally.

If you really need to manage Windows systems with local IPMI access, you 
probably need ipmiutil (http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net), which handles that 
with either the Intel Windows driver or the Microsoft driver (available in 
Win2008 and sometimes Win2003).

I thought you might want to know this: Sun ported ipmitools to Windows - AFAIK 
they made the port freely available, but with Oracle things changed and 
requires now a contract - I'm not sure this is in line with the BSD license you 
use

regards
Michael
