I was able to resolve this issue by looking at the source code of the openHPI
client.... thanks to open source !!
host = getenv("OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST");
if (host == NULL) {
host = "localhost";
}
The problem was a configuration issue.
Apparently, the OpenHPI client utilities require the env variable
OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST to be set.
If that env var is not set then it tries to use "localhost" but localhost was
not resolving to anything on this Linux server.
So the OpenHPI client is now able to access the OpenHPI server using the
ipmidirect plugin.
Thanks also to Renier M. for a quick response earlier today.

CreateConnx: Could not open client socket Possibly, the OpenHPI daemon has not been started. saHpiSessionOpen: Could not create client connection saHpiSessionOpen error NO_RESPONSE The openHPI server appears to run fine on this IPMI 2.0 platform ( I've verified this by switching on openHPI logging amd am seeing the rsp and cmd sequnces) ....but the problem is connecting to it using the client utilties ....even though the server does start listening on the default port 4743 The version of OpenHPI I'm using is 2.8.1 (I'va also tried 2.8.0) and it has been built on the IPMI 1.5 platform running the same OS version (Redhat ES 4.0 Update 3) as is running on the IPMI 2.0 platform. Note, I have been able to get these OpenHPI client utilities (same openHPI version, 2.8.1 ) to work fine on a IPMI 1.5 compliant platform. Any idea why the client utilities are not able to connect to the OpenHPI server ?
