I'm having basic comprehension issues with the ipmitool (as shipped with Debian stable). I'm running debian amd64 on a Sun Fire X2100, with latest
ipmitool - utility for IPMI control with kernel driver or LAN interface libopenipmi-dev - Intelligent Platform Management Interface - development libopenipmi0 - Intelligent Platform Management Interface - runtime openipmi - Intelligent Platform Management Interface (for servers) installed. My SMDC (IPMI 1.5, a Tyan card) listens on 10.0.0.7 (set up with the DOS tools Sun shipes). I don't have an ipmi-capable kernel on that machine, so my only option is to connect to it from another machine. Console redirection to IPMI is set in the (upgraded) BIOS. nmap 10.0.0.7 tells me PORT STATE SERVICE 23/tcp open telnet MAC Address: 00:E0:81:34:A8:B4 (Tyan Computer) Trying telnet 10.0.0.7 gives me Trying 10.0.0.7... Connected to 10.0.0.7. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. Which ipmitool syntax do I need to connect to the SMDC from another machine on the same LAN? When I'm trying ipmitool -H 10.0.0.7 lan -P ******** print I'm getting Activate Session error: Requested privilege level exceeds limit Error: Unable to establish LAN session Get Channel Info command failed Channel 7 (Unknown (0xff)) is not a LAN channel Sorry for the dumb question, but this has me stymied for days. I really need some minimal help to get started. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
