Nor do I see any > way that the two daemons are started - I'd expect SMF services. Yes, there are two SMF services - one for bmc-watchdog, second for ipmidetecd. I thought it was clear from the Fast Track project document (section 5, "There will be a SMF manifest for each daemon taking care of daemon lifecycle.").
Regarding the "ipmitool" - I was in contact with guys working on/with "ipmitool" (Kevin.Song at Sun.COM, Hesam.Kohanteb at Sun.COM, turgo-ipmi at Sun.COM ..) to clarify some technical details regarding the BMC driver, and they did not raise any objections/concerns regarding porting of freeipmi to Open Solaris, they were rather looking forward for it. Does my answer satisfy your question, or there should be detailed description what functionality is covered by ipmitool/freeipmi and whether they do compete or complement? Regards, Michal PS: resending email to keep list on cc (had some troubles with my registration to opensolaris-arc at opensolaris.org)
