Thank you for your reply, Mohan.
I also think as yours.
But digging into openhpi source code, I found a function which
establishes connection to shelf manager, that is ipmi_lan_setup_con().
This function is one of the device driver functions that allows upper
application to talk to IPMI hardware platform. It takes
configuration parameters and make a connection to IPMI hardware platform.
But I wonder if we provide configuration parameter changes and invoke
it, the daemon still works or not? Is it the function that
meets our purpose?
Thanks,
hung
