What Linux version are you running? That error means that the driver was unable to register with the I/O subsystem 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. -corey David Ranch wrote: You DO need the 'si' driver (as least I do).

Re: [Ipmitool-devel] /dev/ipmi0 not seen by ipmitool?
This might be an issue with needing to specify specific memory
locations for your specific BMC. Try unloading ALL IPMI kernel modules
and then run this script but you'll need to research and specify the
right memory regions:
ipmimod.sh

#05/01/06 - orig version

maj=`cat /proc/devices | awk '/ipmidev/{print $1}'`
echo $maj
if [ -c /dev/ipmi0 ]
then
rm -f /dev/ipmi0
/bin/mknod /dev/ipmi0 c $maj 0
else
/bin/mknod /dev/ipmi0 c $maj 0
fi
IPMI_DRIVERS="ipmi_si ipmi_si_drv ipmi_kcs_drv"
for driver in $IPMI_DRIVERS; do
find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi | grep $driver
/dev/null
RETURN_VALUE=$?
if [ $RETURN_VALUE -eq 0 ] ; then
#Here are specific memory locations for Supermicro AOC-type IPMI
cards
/sbin/modprobe $driver type=kcs ports=0xca8 regspacings=4
break
fi
done
--
For a cleaner solution on Centos5, I modified the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipmi
script to read additional startup options and in /etc/sysconfig/ipmi, I
added the line:
--
IPMI_SI=yes
IPMI_SI_MODULE_OPTIONS="type=kcs ports=0xca8 regspacings=4"

Ps. I have other IPMI issues and solutions here though this doc really
needs to be updated:

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 successfully (I think), and now have a /dev/ipmi0: # ls /dev/ipmi* /dev/ipmi0 However ipmitool doesn't like my device if I use -I open: # ipmitool -I open sdr Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory Get Device ID command failed Unable to open SDR for reading If I use -I imb, I get weird errors: # ipmitool -I imb sdr Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=0 Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=0 Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=0 Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=0 Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=0 Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=0 WARNING: Unknown SDR repository version 0x00 Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=bf Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=bf Error sending IMB request, status=1 ccode=bf Unable to obtain SDR reservation Unable to open SDR for reading This is a local query, so AFAIK -I lan/-I lanplus would not be approriate for me, correct? Some notes: this works fine on all my ProLiant DL145 machines. However, I get the above-mentioned problem on all of my ProLiant DL360 machines. So it seems to be something hardware-dependent. Suggestions? Comments? RTFM locations? Thanks, -Kurt - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
