OK, I had to respond to that misconception wrt e1000 BMCs. :-) The real reason that a separate MAC (sometimes a separate NIC) was provided for BMC traffic on some new Intel motherboards was that there are more features being put onto the management NIC than just port 623 can handle (HTTP,

Tim, Writing FRU data is usually done in discrete sections which have variable length, so it should be done with care. The ipmiutil package does have all the tools together in a meta-command now ('ipmiutil'), see http://ipmiutil.sf.net/ for release 1.8.0 or greater, and any other input is

Frank, It doesn't appear that you were root when you tried the set commands. Does it work if you log in as root or use sudo? When you used the lan 2 command, it defaulted to user 1. When you used the user 5 command, it tried to set user 5. Does the SMDC have 5 users? Perhaps you should stick

If the server won't respond to Get Channel Authentication Capabilities (the first IPMI LAN request, required by the IPMI spec), then either the IPMI LAN isn't configured, or it doesn't support IPMI LAN. You would have to check locally on the server to see if IPMI LAN is configured or not. Andy

The two system have entirely different IPMI BMCs on the board. They each have their own IPMI firmware on the BMC. Also, the FRU SDR records applied would vary by vendor. You can see the BMC vendor product IDs from GetDeviceID ('ipmitool mc info' or 'ipmiutil health'). Andy -Original

That must be the ipmi0 kernel thread, which is used for the local IPMI system interface, but is not needed for IPMI LAN access. The IPMI LAN accesses the BMC firmware directly, not using the main CPU. Andy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

Federico, It sounds like it is time to call HP support to find out if this Aelita Software BMC on the HP DL 140 really supports IPMI 1.5 LAN, or just some non-standard subset of that. If it does, then HP must know what the configuration tricks are to set it up. Andy -Original Message-

In general, one way to get the BMC back to default behavior is to remove the power plug for about 10 seconds. It is a brute-force way of doing BMC reset, plus, unlike a BMC reset command, it doesn't get the BMC out of sync with the BIOS. Andy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The SOL for IPMI 1.5 is a different (OEM) protocol, whereas SOL for IPMI 2.0 is in the spec. Intel supplies a CLI rpm to support SOL with the S*WV2 platforms (dpccli console command). I didn't think that ipmitool supported IPMI 1.5 OEM SOL. Andy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL
