So we have ipmitool shipped in Solaris as /usr/sfw/bin/ipmitool. On the software companion CD for Sun's X-series servers, a special version of ipmitool is provided that makes the 'sunoem' subcommands actually useful on these servers. This, along with the ipmiflash utility install as unbundled products under /opt.
First, thanks to whoever at Sun provided the ipmitool with the working sunoem subcommands. Thanks to that, I now have a method in my jumpstart finish scripts that fully configures the ILOM. But I would really like for it to replace the lackluster version that is bundled with Solaris (/usr/sfw/bin/ipmitool), as well as add ipmiflash. I understand that the reason why it's not bundled may be due to some sort of bundled/unbundled disconnect between the hardware group at Sun and Solaris engineering. Would anyone with a purple badge know how one would get started down this road? Now, if only sun4v machines had a BMC... /dale _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
