hi all,
this is my first post here, so I hope that I respect this mailing list's
policies...
I got a SUN X2100 server with the optional SMDC card, and managed to get it to
work : that is, I had to boot off the X2100 Supplementary CD, and configure the
card's IP settings and passwords for the 4 default accounts (blank, operator,
admin and oem).
Now I can access the card via the Solaris-bundled "/usr/sbin/ipmitool", as well
as via the SourceForge "ipmitool". All this on Solaris-10, and using the "lan"
interface, not the "bmc" interface.
The main reasons for the SMDC card are:
- providing me a remote console access to the server : this is fine, works
correctly via the "ipmitool"
- being able to adjust the fan speeds, a topic that has been widely discussed
on the web by a vast amount of (deaf, by now) X2100 owners complaining about
extreme fan speed/noise. This still doesn't work for me.
The settings of the fan speed, by lack of any documentation, seems to be done
via some "ipmitool" command that sets some percentage :
/usr/sbin/ipmitool -H 192.168.1.NN -I lan -U OEM sunoem fan speed 90
Password:
Sun OEM Set Fan Speed command failed: Insufficient privilege level
Curious, since this "OEM" account has got the highest privilege level for such
commands:
% ipmitool -H 192.168.1.NN -I lan -U Admin user list 2
Password:
ID Name Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit
1 true true true USER
2 Operator true true true OPERATOR
3 Admin true true true ADMINISTRATOR
4 OEM true true true OEM
(the last argument "2" to "ipmitool" is the so-called channel number; the
output is the same for channels 0 and 1)
However, when I ask more verbose output from the command, I see that it doesn't
use the "OEM" user, but instead the "Administrator" user, which obviously
hasn't the right privileges to make such fan adjustments:
% ipmitool -H 192.168.1.NN -vv -I lan -U OEM sunoem fan speed 90

Do you notice the
Privilege Level : ADMINISTRATOR
line, instead of OEM ?
==> Has anyone any clue about why this might refuse to consider the OEM user ?
many thanks in advance for any hints or tips
