Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] Query system MAC addresses via IPMI?


Hi there,

I know that some vendors (e.g., SuperMicro) make it possible to fetch the MAC 
address of a NIC that's attached to the motherboard, but does something similar 
exist for Dell? I've been fishing around the Internet in vain to find if 
there's some command or sequence of hex that I can use to fetch that 
programmatically from our Dell machines.

I know that there is a 'delloem mac' command supported by IPMI tool, but when I 
try that, I get an error and not any kind of meaningful output:


ipmitool -H <stuff> -U <stuff> -P <stuff> delloem mac
Error in getting MAC Address (Unknown (0x80))

I've also tried '-l lanplus' and I poked at ipmi-oem's commands as well, but no 
dice. I can confirm that the machines I've poked at are online, as I can do 
more mundane things like get power state, sensor data, etc.; I am also able to 
fetch some of the system attributes like serial number using raw hex sequences, 
but I am a bit lost when it comes to the appropriate codes, and brute-forcing 
through canned sequences seems dangerous/a fool's errand.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,
Klaus
