Hi All, I'm facing an IPMI related problem. I don't know if this is the right list to ask (as the problem is partially kernel related). If not, I'd appreciate if you could direct me to the correct ML.
I'm seeing a certain behaviour on my server, which has a BMC, when running the "shutdown" command, wherein the machine restarts after I do a shutdown from Linux. I noticed that I have the "ipmi_poweroff" module loaded on my setup. So, when I invoke 'sudo shutdown now', the kernel shuts down the machine and the ipmi_poweroff module ALSO sends an ipmi "chassis power off" command to the BMC. I have access to the BMC firmware and I saw that the way BMC handles "chassis power off" is by emulating a power button press for 6 seconds. But since the host already shuts down in the meantime, the button press ends up power up the system again! My question is, why does the host power off itself when the ipmi_poweroff module is loaded? Shouldn't just one of them be responsible for powering off the system? If the host can shut itself down, it should not ask the BMC to do a power off or vice-versa.
