This is a non-standard OEM control; it's operation is not part of the
IPMI standard. OpenIPMI has some code for some of these, but not really
very many. You have a couple of options:
* Write OEM plugin code to control the thing and tie it in to the
standard OpenIPMI interfaces.
* Directly control the thing through IPMI messages.
You will need the specs on how to control it, or you'll need to dig it
out of the ipmitool code. There is some code for an Intel system in
lib/oem_intel.c that's an example of how to write a plugin, though on
that systems it's a device that sits directly on the I2C bus. I'll
gladly take patches to incorporate into OpenIPMI, if you like.
