Re: [Ipmitool-devel] Accessing ipmitools over network

The other question is : does iLO on DL180 really speaks IPMI ? I though this was proprietary. François Isabelle | Software Designer | Kontron Canada | T 450 437 5682 |F 450 437 8053 | E francois.isabe...@ca.kontron.com -Message d'origine- De : Carsten Aulbert [mailto:carsten.aulb...@aei

IIRC, the HP iLO will respond normally to some IPMI commands, but the logging in particular was proprietary. They apparently write their events to a special log instead of the IPMI SEL. You could access that log remotely even so, I suppose, if you use the HP iLO utilities. Andy -Orig

HP's iLO on the DL180 does appear to respond to IPMI commands via ipmitools. One of the things I did not look at so far was the logging, but that's because I'm not interested in monitoring that (though I could see an integration point with rancid here...). Frank -Original Message- Fro

Carsten: I know I can query them locally, but I want to query them remotely via the remote server's main network interface. =) Yes, I have cheap switches and I could do what you suggested, but I'm trying to keep a clean C.O. in a relatively tight area-- small desktop switches with different cabli

Hey Frank, Some motherboards do allow the IPMI to be "shared" or "dedicated" if there are multiple ethernet ports. It's configurable in the bios if by random luck you have it. Al On Wed, 2009-05-06 at 21:08 -0500, Frank Bulk wrote: > I've scoured the web and haven't been able to find a definiti

Yes, reading between the lines that seems to be the case, but with HP's iLO implementation on the DL180, it's a separate physical port and I don't appear to be able to bridge it with the server's default network interface. Thanks, Frank -Original Message- From: Al Chu [mailto:ch...@llnl.

The DL180 G5 does not have a shared network/management port. Other HP servers (i.e. DL160 G5) have a shared port which makes this possible. Cheers! /Kipp -Original Message- From: Frank Bulk [mailto:frnk...@iname.com] Sent: Thursday, May 07, 2009 10:27 AM To: ch...@llnl.gov; Frank Bul
