Re: Dell R200 ipmi

[Jean-Gérard Pailloncy]

 The Dell Poweredge R200 has a ipmi board but
 ipmi at mainbus0 not configured

 Is there some new stuff in current to support the ipmi on R200 ?
 especially the watchdog feature. Or patch waiting to be tested ?

Thank for the information. I enabled ipmi in the kernel with config.

A related question:
I have a R200 and a soekris.
On both box, I launch watchdogd.
On both the same output:
# sysctl kern.watchdog
kern.watchdog.period=30
kern.watchdog.auto=0

But if i do
# kill -STOP pid of watchdogd
the soekris reboot and not the R200

On the R200, if I do
# sysctl -w kern.watchdog.auto=1
then
# kill -STOP pid of watchdogd
then the R200 reboot too.

Any explanation ? Or is it a bug ?

ipmi is compiled-in to GENERIC but marked as disabled, due to a
problem on some machines. You can try boot -c at the boot loader
and enable ipmi then, if it works, edit the on-disk kernel with
config -e.

 Hi misc,
Hi,

 I'll be buying a couple of Dell R200 Rackmount servers to use as 
 firewalls/routers.

 I found this thread in the archives about it:
 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=120167827217058w=2

 And it seems to be working with snapshots.

 But my question is: will it be supported by the 4.3 release? We're not used 
 to run -current on our firewalls, and we'd prefer to continue with -release 
 and -stable.

We tested r200 servers this week with a 4.3 stable release. It seems to work
fine for the moment.
