tem because the name was already registered. Which is very strange, because this is the only thing that is using that name. So you are trying to load a module and the function is already compiled into the kernel (not sure if that is even possible) or something very weird is going on. -core

You are using udev? It's very strange that /dev/ipmi0 was created. Can you send: The contents of /proc/ipmi/0 That's interesting. I have various reliability and performance issues with these Supermicro BMCs and I see the following: # cat /proc/ipmi/0/si_stats interrupts_enabled:

Do you have the right BMC firmware loaded on the DL360 as well as the most up to date BIOS and BMC firmware. Also, what's the output of ls -la /dev/ipmi*? It should be something like: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 253, 0 Dec 10 15:38 /dev/ipmi0 --David Hiya, list! I installed openipmi

Make sure you're running the newest IPMI firmware on the Supermicro BMC. If Supermicro releases software for these new SIM-style BMCs is anything like their legacy AOC BMCs, you need to run the beta firmware which is usually stable. Also note that the version number for the code is

It sounds like the Sun firmware is crashing when it receives this IPMI "user" command. You need to take this up with Sun Engineering and even if they feel this is a bug on the ipmitool side, it's also a bug on their side as their IPMI stack shouldn't crash regardless of what it receives.

Will speeds other than 19.2k even work with a SuperMicro IPMI card (0x15d9/0x1134)? Boards are H8DAR-T and H8SSL-i... I'm not 100% sure what these boards/cards are. The SIMSO cards that Supermicro has out for newer motherboards have a faster BMC. I have 100+ of Supermicro's IPMI

2007-04-05 Thread David A. Ranch
A few things stick out in my mind: 1. Since the MAC addresses are different for both the IPMI and eth0, this means that, potentially, you should be able to ping the IPMI card and get responses. Does that work? 2. When you did a lan print 2, there weren't any Cipher suites shown for a given

In your original email, you posted the MAC address of your eth0 NIC. Looking in this URL, that's a Inventec MAC http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string=00%3AA0%3AD1%3AE5%3AD1%3A88 Yet.. looking at Penguin Computing's page, it says: -- On-Board LAN 2 x Intel 10/100/1000 ethernet, dedicated

Using icmp, you can probe the 1U-IPMIB with increasing sized pings (LANG doesn't respond to ICMP echo requests) and see that the 1U-IPMIB stops responding to ICMP's =275B (317B packets). Same goes for the AOC-IPMI20E cards too. --David

I'm seeing a issue here with both 1.8.8 and this ipmitool/ipmitool-1.8.8.90 build (on CENTOS 4.4). When communicating to a SuperMicro BMC connected via Intel MACs (which share the same Ethernet MAC and IP address with the OS itself), the IPMI communications are not reliable. 70% of the time
