Hi Corey, This latest patch worked great on my 2-node system! :-D I'll try to get some time on a 4-node and 8-node system asap to test it out on them as well.
I've listed below how ipmi and the BMCs are now represented in sysfs. Do you still want me to continue working on trying to get some unique BMC device ID/GUID change made in the f/w as well (and in the process find out what we have now ;-}? I'm also working on finding out whether or not it's guaranteed that the BMCs are listed in node order in the SMBIOS table. Thanks very much for your help and for making my day! :-D Carol Hebert ------------ /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi1/device /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi1/dev /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi1/uevent /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi1/subsystem /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi0 /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi0/device /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi0/dev /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi0/uevent /sys/class/ipmi/ipmi0/subsystem /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipmi_si /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipmi_si/new_id /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipmi_si/bind /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipmi_si/unbind /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipmi_si/module /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi_si /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi_si/ipmi_si.1 /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi_si/ipmi_si.0 /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi_si/bind /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi_si/unbind /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi/ipmi_bmc.0007.33 /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi/ipmi_bmc.0007.32 /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi/bind /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ipmi/unbind /sys/bus/platform/devices/ipmi_bmc.0007.33 /sys/bus/platform/devices/ipmi_si.1 /sys/bus/platform/devices/ipmi_bmc.0007.32 /sys/bus/platform/devices/ipmi_si.0 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/ipmi1 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/guid /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/aux_firmware_revision /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/product_id /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/manufacturer_id /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/additional_device_support /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/ipmi_version /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/firmware_revision /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/revision /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/provides_device_sdrs /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/device_id /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/driver /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/bus /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/subsystem /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/modalias /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/power /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/power/wakeup /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/power/state /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.33/uevent /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/ipmi:ipmi1 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/bmc /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/driver /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/bus /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/subsystem /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/modalias /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/power /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/power/wakeup /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/power/state /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.1/uevent /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/ipmi0 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/guid /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/aux_firmware_revision /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/product_id /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/manufacturer_id /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/additional_device_support /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/ipmi_version /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/firmware_revision /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/revision /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/provides_device_sdrs /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/device_id /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/driver /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/bus /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/subsystem /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/modalias /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/power /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/power/wakeup /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/power/state /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0007.32/uevent /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/ipmi:ipmi0 /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/bmc /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/driver /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/bus /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/subsystem /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/modalias /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/power /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/power/wakeup /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/power/state /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_si.0/uevent # ls -l /dev/ipmi* crw------- 1 root root 252, 0 Oct 18 11:52 /dev/ipmi0 crw------- 1 root root 252, 1 Oct 18 11:52 /dev/ipmi1 On Tue, 2006-10-17 at 17:22 -0500, Corey Minyard wrote: > Corey Minyard wrote: > > > >> Please let me know what I can do to help.
