Re: [Ipmitool-devel] Loosing SOL packet when KeepAlive feature is ON
Hi, I found the problem in the ipmitool source. Here is what occur step by step. Receiving a sol packet ID 4, length 24 bytes 24 bytes are displayed on the console Sending a sol acknowledge ID 4, length 0 (only ack) Sending the keepalive GetDevice Id Waiting for an answer (to the IPMI Get Device Id) but Receiving a sol packet ID 5, length 24 bytes Check that CC is OK for IPMI Get Device ID (it occurs that yes, the completion code is 0) SOL received packet is used as the answer for the GetDeviceID instead of the real GetDeviceId answer. Then, the answer to the GetDeviceId is interpreted by the SOL red pill function and some garbage is thrown on the screen (I had already solve a month ago the garbage on the screen bug by ignoring the answer). This brings me to a bigger problem. It looks like IPMITOOL is not done in a way that question and answer can be dissociated. There is no guarantee that packet of a different payload type could be received in between of question/answer of another type or of the same type. For example, a SOL packet can be sent in between a getDeviceId question/answer. This is for 99% of the time not a problem. Here is what I propose. Instead of using a getDeviceId for the keepalive mechanism, we could use a simple empty SOL transmit. (Valid sequence number, no acknowledge, length of 0). This will trig no work on the BMC side and will no generate also an answer. The impact on the traffic is lower and we bypass the problem describe above. Also, I can reset the keepalive timestamp when some other sol packet is transmit.. This way, no extra traffic if there is already running traffic/ Any problem with that? When the IPMITOOL release is schedule (1.8.9??) ? I have tried the fix and for our implementation, it works correctly.

I periodically loose some data and I just found something. During a short moment, when the keep alive mechanism send a GetDeviceID packet to the bmc, the transmit packet to the console are not displayed (not received). I have some way to verify the traffic on our BMC and the problem occur always during a keep alive GetDeviceID. When I am disabling the keep alive feature, my problem disappears. I checked a little bit on the code and so far, I am not sure where the problem is. Anyone see this problem? Any ideas where the problem might be? It looks like when the GetDeviceId is sent, that no SOL packet can be sent before the answer is received.. Thanks! Jean-Michel Audet - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Ipmitool-devel] KCS with interrupts
Open IPMI does check that and use it when available. If your KCS transaction time is less than 20ms, open ipmi use it. Otherwise, use make menuconfig to select the high resolution timer, after rebuild your kernel.

Re: [Ipmitool-devel] IPMI BMC with dedicated management port(RJ-45).... connecting over LAN??
The problem you are describing seems to be related to a specific hardware problem. IOL is working perfectly on most of the hardware. IOL is definitely a good way to access the IPMI (management). However, I am not sure about the cluster fencing thing but more information will be required to know if it's a good interface for that. For your problem, I would bet in a configuration problem. You need to: Configure IPMI IOL channel - IP Address, Mask, gateway. - Enable corresponding LAN (IOL) channel. Sometimes, hardware offer BIOS menu to do the configuration. P.S.: SOL is not what you are looking for except if you want to access to a serial port using the LAN interfaces (Serial-Over-LAN). To debug more your setup, we will need more meat.

Greetings, This is my first post to this mailing list and I'm hoping that someone can help me better understand how to connect to IPMI through a dedicated management port. I've read pretty much everything I can get my hands on and I'm still a bit in the dark. I have 2 servers that will eventually be members of a cluster, and my initial plan was to use IPMI over LAN for cluster fencing. The servers have a 'management port' (RJ-45) that I connected to a switch via standard CAT-5e. I used IPMItool to assign IP addresses/netmask, with the intention of having a small network specifically for IPMI traffic. The problem is that I can't connect to any remote machines using the LAN interface. Using the -vvv option I can see the initial ping-discovery packet, and it is being sent to the correct address, but nothing ever comes back. I can only assume that either there is no communication, or I've setup something wrong. The strange thing is that the management port does not show up as an interface when I do an ifconfig -a. However, I'm not sure if it is supposed to. This isn't a normal NIC, it is supposed to be hooked directly into the BMC and useable even if the server is powered down. That is why I wanted to use it for fencing. Has anyone seen this type of setup before? From what I've read the LAN interface of IPMI seems to make reference to interfaces that the OS is aware of. Is SOL what I need in order to use the management interface? Any help would be appreciated. I can confirm that IPMI is working locally, it's just getting to a remote machine over the network that is not working. -- Randall -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H___ Ipmitool-devel mailing list Ipmitool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ipmitool-devel

Re: [Ipmitool-devel] ipmitool breakage with kernel 2.6.37
Hi Corey,
I observe the same issue. It is related to polling rate. What I have
observed on my side was that when polling time is slower, it is working. In
interrupt mode, it was working. In interrupt mode without working interrupt
(means that polling rate is lower), it is working. It is all related to the
time to process the transmission from the BMC to the CPU host interface. On my
side, it was OK from Host Side to BMC.

from debian lenny: ipmitool version 1.8.9 and the motherboard of the
machine is Supermicro X8DTI-F.
As it looked like the problem is in the kernel, I started to revert
possible commits concerning ipmi, and indeed find out that this is the one
after which it started to fail:

ipmi: reduce polling
We can reasonably alter the poll rate depending on whether we're
performing a transaction or merely waiting for an event.
And the parts in that commit, which should be reverted to make it stable
again are:

Please, let me know if you need any additional assistance regarding the
problem.

[Ipmitool-devel] Roadmap? Any plan for a new release (1.8.12???)
Hi All / Duncan / Carol / Petter, I would like to know if anybody have an idea about a possible new release of IPMITool? Latest release is now more than 2 years old (2009-02-25). Since we do have made many fixes, it could be a good idea to have a new release? Any idea? Thanks!
