Thanks again for the reply!
I understand from ipmiif.h and ipmi.pdf that the 4th argument of ipmi_open_domain- "setup_con" is the callback, which is called whenever there is a change in status of connection(conn lost etc). The err parameter states about the error causing it. Now on printing this I see that it is printing some weird number as error : 16777411.
Also I use password while using ipmitool, so I think we need to use it here too. The parameter i use is as below:

(I also tried ipmi_parse_arg2 function but no improvement)
I'm having trouble setting up connection. It would be of great help if you can advice me on how to fix this.
Thank you,

I've never really done much testing with that program, but it doesn't
seem to produce any output if the parameters are wrong (the other end
refuses the connection). Maybe you need to pass in '' as the password,
too, since you didn't supply one for ipmitool?
IPMI.pdf may be a little dated, but I don't think it is too bad.
There's no other newer documentation besides what is in the ipmiif.h
include file.
