Thanks for the reply, Corey. I was using the term "dual bridge support" used by Dmitry in the attached thread. What I mean by it is the ability to bridge IPMI commands from a system manager on a local serial interface connected to an MCMC by asking the ShM to bridge the command to the Carrier Manager and then to an AMC blade's MMC. An example using ipmitool is;
CHECK IPMI F/W ON AMC1 USING LAN INTERFACE: # ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.1.2 -A NONE -T 0x82 -B 0 -t 0x72 -b 7 hpm check PICMG HPM.1 Upgrade Agent 1.0.2: -------Target Information------- Device Id : 0x0 Device Revision : 0x80 Product Id : 0x0009 Manufacturer Id : 0x0614 (Performance Technologies, Inc.) --------------------------------- |ID | Name | Versions | | | | Active| Backup| --------------------------------- |*0 |AVR-AMCm F/| 1.20 | 1.04 | | 1 |AVR-AMCm B/| 1.20 | --.-- | --------------------------------- (*) Component requires Payload Cold Reset # SAME COMMAND VIA LOCAL SERIAL INTERFACE: AMC671: ipmitool -T 0x82 -B 0 -t 0x72 -b 7 hpm check PICMG HPM.1 Upgrade Agent 1.0.2: Unable to send command: Invalid argument # PS. François Isabelle also wrote this earlier in the thread: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but IPMB dual bridge has never been working in IPMITOOL with the "open" interface. It's been implemented for the "lanplus" interface and I think we intended to add support for "open" as well; however it has never been done."
