see? now _this_ is why i'm posting to the list. :) plenty of folks far more familiar with the system than myself, and willing to share. thanks. so ... mind walking me through this? once i'm logged in at the console, this is what i'm seeing: # ipmitool sol activate Error: This command is only available over the lanplus interface a quick search on the wiki shows this link: http://wiki.smartos.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=754743 but doesn't really walk me through setting this up. i realize this is somewhat hardware-dependent, so i may need to be looking at supermicro's site for instruction. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
