tangential to the conversation, if anyone's interested in shell code
that gets the BMC/IDRAC full firmware revision and type using IPMITool
and the ipmi kernel modules, it follows.
This has a number of go-back revisions over time and hasn't been
refactored, but it does the job.
I needed to updated it when Dell started releasing iDRAC firmwares that
were in the "release/fix" series ({major}.{minor}.{release}.{fix} --
where {major}.{minor} stayed the same, and most tools only report
{major}.{minor}, like:
# ipmitool bmc info | grep 'Firmware Revision'
Firmware Revision : 2.61
Note that if you perform a firmware upgrade, you'll have to 'rmmod' all
the IPMI modules, then reload them to get updated results.
# something like...
while lsmod | grep -q '^ipmi_'; do modprobe --remove --all $(lsmod
| awk '/^ipmi_/{print$1}'); done; modprobe --all ipmi_si ipmi_devintf
ipmi_msghandler
# get_sys_bmc_version
2.61.60.60 {iDRAC8}
# get_sys_bmc_version() {
# XXX /sys/class/ipmi won't update when the firmware is updated.
# XXX find a way to reload it if necessary
# kernel class data doesn't expose name/type (e.g. iDRAC)
