Hi Travis, Every piece of Oscar is imported from other projects, with OSCAR being the glue to put them together. In light of this statement, I'm pretty sure that using ipmitool, or freeimpi would be a very good place to work. There is enough other work involved with getting it integrated "properly" into OSCAR, that rewriting the ipmi tool would be a waste of time. For example, adding the MAC addresses for the IMPI cards into the oscar database, and setting up username/password pairs for them all. However, making it compartmentalized enough so that someone can choose between impitool and freeimpi would be useful. One thing that isn't in the SoC description, is possibly setting up watchdog timers on the BMC/IPMI cards if they are available..
