Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ipmi-discovery
Hi Vijay, You're working off quite an old version of ipmi-ping. What version is this so I can do a test build? Also, you might also want to send a Makefile patch, since pthreads are not compiled in by default.

I would try and model the options, output, behavior, etc. off of fping: http://www.fping.com/ Of course a number of options, features, etc. won't carry over. You may be able to borrow code from fping too??

Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ipmi-discovery
Hi Al, This tool will discover all the IPMI devices in the range of IP Addresses specified using startIP and endIP. I 've attached it. the file name remains the same that is in the libfreeipmi/src/ipmi-ping.c and it goes exactly there Confusion : do we need a single tool that does ping as well as discovery ? TBD / Fixed better: --- 1) timeout should be implemented for discovery and the select wait time should be split accordingly ? 2) interval should be between the time between each ping of destination 3) count as in ipmi-ping.

Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ipmi-discovery
Hi Vijay, I'll have to defer to A.B. for the final choice of what we do. Once it's cleaned up and final, perhaps it could just be a separate tool in FreeIPMI? For now, how about posting the beginning src somewhere or just send it out on the mailing list.That way we can get idea of where the tool is at.

Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ipmi-discovery
Hi Al & others, I just finished developing a tool : "ipmidiscover startIP endIP" utilizing the existing ipmi-ping.c code in the freeipmi code base. algo: 1. construct ip range . 2. start 2 threads i) sendthread will do : rv = ipmi_lan_sendto(_sockfd, buffer, len, 0, (struct sockaddr *)& _destaddr, sizeof(_destaddr)); ii) receivethread will : en = ipmi_lan_recvfrom(_sockfd, buffer, IPMI_PING_MAX_PKT_LEN, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&from, &fromlen); both in loop of step-1 ip range. 3) display the result thats it!! I needed it quickly so i just wrote it in a day but it works fine It is not yet integrated into the package since its got some TBD should i put the .c file alone somewhere in sourceforge or in gnu website please advice ? it can go in parallel with existing ipmi-ping.c dir but i dont want to publish it in the main package yet since it only does the basic function ... some one can take it and code to it so it will qualify for republishing . I could do it later following how this thread Thanks, Vijay Al Chu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Vijay,I'd be glad to help.

There was a broken thread about discovey option ... couldnt figure out much from discovery.scm too...I want a simple C/C++ application "ipmi-discover startIP endIP" . currently iam half way through utilizing ipmi-ping code.Please advice.Thanks,Vijay==Hardwork and Science will solve your problems,With a little belief in God you can do miracles. == Stay in the know.
