Hi ,

  I am trying the IPMI serial emulator application on linux(Fedora) PC.
Since i dont have BMC hardware and server , i want to understand the IPMI
message flow by using IPMI serial BMC emulator.

 Here is my test setup

  PC1
-----------
1) Having the OpneIPMI libraries and tools, ipmitool
2) Inserted the ipmi_msghandler.ko, ipmi_devintf.ko, ipmi_seria.ko,
ipmi_serial_terminal_mode.ko, ipmi_serial_direct.ko,
ipmi_serial_radisys_ascii.ko
3) Could not load ipmi_si.ko since it is not able to detect the system
interface.
4) I have run the below command after starting the "ser2net" module on PC2,
it is able to accept the connection(If LAN connection is there)
       ./sample/ipmi_serial_bmc_emu -c TerminalMode -a ttyS0 -o PigeonPoint
192.168.2.62 2001
5) PC1 and PC2 are connected with RS232 cable.
6) Fedora core is running with compiled kernel 2.6.30 alond with concerned
parches.
7)  I am getting the below error when i run the command   "sudo ipmitool -v
-d /dev/ipmi0  session info all"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No
such file or directory
Get Session Info command failed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PC2
---------
1) Running Fedora core 14 with kernel 2.6.35
2) installed ser2net application and started the service


So, when i run the ipmi tool, may be it is trying to see the registered
interfaces where we could not load  , SI, KCS, SMIC,BT modules.

Can any one suggest me the correct procedure to test the  "
sample/ipmi_serial_bmc_emu.c"  application along with IPMI driver.

Please let me know if any mistakes are there in the test procedure.

Thanks,
Sai
