Hi, I've been on holiday but decided to have a quick look at this again as my personal hosted server is a Dell r200 running Gentoo so I have good reason to try to get this working in my own time as well as my employers. The missing ipmi sections appears to be caused by /opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-hapi/ini/dchipm.ini containing only header comments about it being automatically generated, if I replace the file with one taken from a SLE11SP1 image installed on the same server then the missing sections appear and everything seems to work ok, the Data Engine also takes a lot longer to start with the overall startup time only very slightly less than when running Suse (which is probably because when running Gentoo the system has less overall load). How is the file normally populated? Running OMSA 6.3 on SLE11SP1 it contains the following: # # Automatically generated file: please don't edit # Copyright (c) 1995-2010 Dell Inc. - All Rights Reserved # This file is in config (not INI) format # Generated on Thu Nov 25 18:44:17 GMT 2010 # hapi.openipmi.driverstarted=yes hapi.openipmi.issupportedversion=yes hapi.openipmi.driverpattern=ipmi_ hapi.openipmi.basedriverprefix=ipmi_si hapi.openipmi.poweroffmodule=ipmi_poweroff hapi.openipmi.powercyclemodule=ipmi_poweroff hapi.openipmi.ispoweroffcapable=no hapi.allow.user.mode=no When I created the ebuilds I was careful to create all of the necessary dependencies and to port over the pre/post install/uninstall scripts and running rpm -qi --scripts srvadmin-hapi again on SLE11SP1 I can only see the usual omreg update, ldconfig, and commands to stop the service if it is being upgraded, all of which I've already dealt with, there is nothing about populating dchipm.ini Once dchipm.ini is populated everything appears to work properly, but I am concerned that there may be other configuration steps which I've also missed and I would like to be sure I've done the best job I can before putting these ebuilds online for testing. How is the file populated? Are there any other similar files which need to be created/updated?
