For the most part, yes. > 2) What is the purpose of the "lanserv" implementation in OpenIPMI ? The lanserv directory started out as a testbed for testing out the main OpenIPMI library, but it has recently been adapted for use as a real BMC in a real system. It can also perform as a BMC with qemu. > > My requirement is to build an IPMI service *on the bmc*. Is OpenIPMI > fit for this purpose ?

It's not easy, though, and it won't have a lot of the features that some BMCs have (video console over IPMI, web page management, etc.) The only other options I know of are commercial, PigeonPoint system has one for ATCA (and maybe others) and AMI does it for server class systems. There are probably others. -corey > > Thanks in advance, > Hari ! > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
