Greetings all, this has come up on the list before, but I'm looking for
a little more clarification.
Have a Dell PE 2650 running RHEL 5.4. dmidecode tells me this about
the IPMI system:
IPMI Device Information
Interface Type: SMIC (Server Management Interface Chip)
Specification Version: 1.0
I2C Slave Address: 0x10
NV Storage Device: Not Present
Base Address: 0x000000000000FCF4 (I/O)
Register Spacing: Successive Byte Boundaries
After running service ipmi start:
ipmi message handler version 39.1
IPMI System Interface driver.
ipmi_si: Trying SMBIOS-specified smic state machine at i/o address 0xfcf4,
slave address 0x20, irq 0
ipmi_si: Interface detection failed
PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:04.2 (0100 -> 0101)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:04.2[C] -> GSI 27 (level, low) -> IRQ 50
ipmi_si: Trying PCI-specified smic state machine at i/o address 0xfcf4, slave
address 0x0, irq 50
Using irq 50
ipmi_si: Could not enable interrupts, failed set, using polled mode.
ipmi: Found new BMC (man_id: 0x0002a2, prod_id: 0x0000, dev_id: 0x00)
IPMI smic interface initialized
ipmi device interface
Only a few ipmitool commands seem to work. I guess this is expected as
we're only implementing IPMI 1.0.
My main goal is to be able to reset the power on this machine remotely.
I assume I need to reboot and configure the BMC IP address, but can I
then use ipmitool from a remote machine to send commands to my 2650? I
don't seem to be able to use any of the ipmitool user commands so I'm
not sure how authentication would work.
Examples would be fantastic.
Thanks,
Ray
