Made some modifications to the command and the corrected commands work fine setting the correct no. of strings ( >10).
ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc2 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x0 0x0 0x20 0x41 0x42 0x43 0x44 0x45 0x46 0x47 0x48 0x49 0x4a 0x4b 0x4c 0x4d 0x4e ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x1 0x4f 0x50 0x51 0x52 0x53 0x54 0x55 0x56 0x57 0x58 0x59 0x5a 0x31 0x32 0x33 0x34 ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x2 0x35 0x36 You would be able to set characters from A-Z,1,2,3,4,5,6.

I tried setting the user defined string to a size of 0x20 (32) with characters from A-Z,1,2,3,4,5,6. Here's what I used to set this: ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc2 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x0 0x0 0x20 0x41 0x42 0x43 0x44 0x45 0x46 0x47 0x48 0x49 0x4a x4b 0x4c 0x4d 0x4e ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x1 0x4f 0x50 0x51 0x52 0x53 0x54 0x55 0x56 0x56 0x57 0x58 0x59 0x31 0x32 0x33 0x34 ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x2 0x35 0x36 Although only the first 10 characters of the string was visible on the LCD. Some explanation around this, if it would be of some use: Set LCD mode as user defined can be done using: ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc2 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 To set the string of size say 0x20 (32) (A to Z , 1,2,3,4,5,6) First 14 bytes ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x0 0x0 0x20 0x41 0x42 0x43 0x44 0x45 0x46 0x47 0x48 0x49 0x4a x4b 0x4c 0x4d 0x4e where 0xc1 - set custom text command 0x0 - block number 0 0x0 - string encoding 0x20 - total length of the string (32) for this example. Second 16 bytes ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x1 0x4f 0x50 0x51 0x52 0x53 0x54 0x55 0x56 0x56 0x57 0x58 0x59 0x31 0x32 0x33 0x34 where 0xc1 - set custom text command 0x1 - block number 1 Third 2 bytes ipmitool raw 0x6 0x58 0xc1 0x2 0x35 0x36 0xc1 - set custom text command 0x2 - block number 2 Thanks Srinivas -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Situ, Zhong Wei Sent: Monday, July 27, 2009 9:13 PM To: Situ, Zhong Wei; linux-poweredge-Lists Subject: LCD access on PowerEdge R610 Hi Does anyone know how to set the user-defined string on the LCD on PowerEdge R610 through ipmitool ?
