That should work with the Linux IPMI driver. However, you have to set your local IPMB address in the driver, since there is no standard way for the driver to find a BMC's IPMB address. If you don't set the address, the return addresses on messages will be wrong, and the driver will assume anything going to address 0x20 will be local.
There is an ioctl to do this in the driver called IPMICTL_SET_MY_CHANNEL_ADDRESS_CMD. There are some ATCA commands to fetch the address, so you could write a little code to set the address. The OpenIPMI library should do this automatically, assuming all the ATCA detection code works there. It would be nice, perhaps, to add ATCA detection code into the driver itself to do this, but I haven't yet. -corey On 02/01/2012 07:57 PM, Mike Helles wrote: > Thanks for the reply, Corey. > > I was using the term "dual bridge support" used by Dmitry in the attached > thread.
