You have to configure on the chassis in the OS, or in the vendor
supplied BMC image frontend -- i.e. ^E after post on the Dell machine
-- if such a thing exists, but that's limited, incomplete, and
usability can vary over a wide spectrum, whereas issuing the commands
via ipmitool work if the firmware functions and is IPMI 2.0 compatible
(ipmitool mc info helps here).
That being said, what we use internally at my $JOB is similar to the
following for setting up IPMI:
ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static
ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr $IPMI_IP
ipmitool lan set 1 netmask $IPMI_NETMASK
ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr $IPMI_GATEWAY
ipmitool lan set 1 access on ; sleep 1
ipmitool lan set 1 access on
ipmitool lan set 1 auth USER "MD2,MD5"
ipmitool lan set 1 auth OPERATOR "MD2,MD5"
ipmitool lan set 1 auth ADMIN "MD2,MD5"
ipmitool lan set 1 auth CALLBACK "MD2,MD5"
ipmitool lan set 1 arp respond on
ipmitool lan set 1 arp generate on
ipmitool user set name 2 $IPMI_USER
ipmitool user set password 2 "$IPMI_PASSWORD"
ipmitool user enable 2
ipmitool sol set enabled true
ipmitool user set payload 2 enable 1 1
Some of this logic may or may not work on certain machines from
what I've seen (ipmitool will barf about not being able to set a flag
to "In-Progress" or some such... it's a bug either in the tool or the
firmware, but I haven't taken the time to figure out where it is). You
might be able to use dhcp in the above example in place of a few
steps, but folks at my $JOB didn't have to for other infrastructure
reasons.
You will have to issue the following commands off the box to
optionally fix the serial baud rate settings:
ipmitool -I lanplus -U $IPMI_USER -P $IPMI_PASSWORD -H $IPMI_IP sol
set non-volatile-bit-rate 9.6
ipmitool -I lanplus -U $IPMI_USER -P $IPMI_PASSWORD -H $IPMI_IP sol
set volatile-bit-rate 9.6
I really wish you could issue these on the box >_> -- again, I
haven't determined why it's not possible.
This works like a champ with Dell Poweredge 2950s and r710s at least.
