Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] bmc driver in Openindiana for Supermicro IPMI controllers?
I tried the solaris bmc driver... Not good: ipmitool -I bmc user list makes the box crash and dump Some other commands had the same effect. I can probably live with accessing the server ipmis solely from my laptop. Out the bmc and sbms/ipmi drivers go. On 2013-03-19 22:53, Hans J.

It depends on what you mean. Your copy of OpenIndiana is yours and you alone can determine what you want to install on it. If you have legally obtained data or executables, you're free to use them as you see fit. However, the terms under which you obtain those bits from Oracle may restrict the ways in which you may use them, whether on OpenIndiana or elsewhere. Nobody here is likely to be competent to tell you how (or even if) those terms apply in this situation. If you're concerned about that, then you should contact Oracle or retain your own legal counsel. (And, for what it's worth, that's not a special OpenIndiana issue. It applies pretty much generally. Mailing lists are poor substitutes for real legal advice.) Likewise, IANAL, but there was similar discussion on Sun/Oracle wikis regarding licensing of some enterprise products that Sun allowed to use in any way without limitations, and Oracle - only for 30-90 day trials. The answer was that the license used when downloading and installing the product applies. So if you've got old OpenSolaris ISOs legally (downloading from Sun and agreeing to that license) then you may use and may not redistribute, particularly, the closed-source bmc driver, and are not entitled to any updates from the vendor (at least those to which another license applies - such as one that requires a purchase, while you continue free use). That said, bmc from sxce snv_130 or so does work on OI copied ditto (search the net for my posts last year or so). There were some tricks to use it with Thumper's botched IPMI card implementation, but that applied originally as well.

Also, the original SXCE bmc driver is closed-source, hence it is not in illumos, and hence the license restrictions such as not redistribution other than as part of OpenSolaris. It was discussed that an open-sourced (bsd?) driver port was worked on, but I am not sure whether that has been completed and integrated. Probably, the nice people at Joyent or some other hosting-oriented illumos contributor would have more to say on this :) //Jim ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] bmc driver in Openindiana for Supermicro IPMI controllers?
The IPMI driver that is in upstream Illumos will presumably do the thing you want with OpenIPMI. Of course, to my knowledge, there's no version of OI cut with that revision of Illumos, so... - Rich On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 5:53 PM, Hans J.
