Z, This change will make ipmitool work as it is currently documented so no new documentation is required. The current ipmitool man page for -m and -t is as follows: -m Set the local IPMB address. The default is 0x20 and there should be no need to chang

Jim, I have two questions for you. 1] can you post a diff of changes? 2] Is there any plan to document(= real use example?) this "feature" or how it works? Also, perhaps document change in behaviour as well? Perhaps, it's done already. This feature is already documented, I mean, not the changes.

All, If anyone has an objection to my proposed change to have -m be all that is necessary to modify the local IPMB address, let me know by the end of the week. With the code as currently written, you have to specify both -m and -t with both local_address and target_address set to the exact

Corey, When you specify -m 0x54 and -t 0x54 on the ipmitool command line, the message will be correctly routed to the local MC.But, if you only specify -m 0x54, the message will be bridged to 0x20 from 0x54 because the default target address in the OpenIPMI interface in ipmptool is set to

So you are saying that if you set the local address to, say -m 0x54, and then send a messages with -t 0x54, it will not route it to the local MC, and the message just gets lost? That may be the case, I'm not that familiar with ipmitool. One would expect that would work properly, but the drive

2013-02-19 Thread Jim Mankovich
All, I recently discovered that the in band ipmitool OpenIPMI Interface did now work as I expected when I attempted to specify different local IPMB address via the -m switch. My expectation was that local system interface would be used with the address I specified on the command line, but inste
