Hi all, sorry for late answer, but I am doing just the porting stuff and the reasons and practical use of freeipmi is not of my concern (I have only a limited knowledge of ipmi) - so it takes some time while I get input from all parties involved. The simple answer is we have not find any probl

Thank you for this clarification. So I perceive two things here. * freeipmi as a "familiarity" case. I'm happy to see it integrated as such, if there is any real desire for this from the community. * Use by Tortuga/HPC. I believe that their use here is architecturally unsound, since it seems

Hi all, just to let you know - I am (with colleague) in process to test freeipmi services with ipmitool services (ipmievd). I should have results next week. Regards, Michal On 04/28/09 02:16, Dale Ghent wrote: > On Apr 27, 2009, at 7:30 PM, Garrett D'Amore wrote: > >> Seth Goldberg wrote: >>>

Sorry for the late reply to this thread, but one concern/test case I'd like to raise is if there would be any collision between openipmi's ipmievd daemon (svc:/network/ipmievd:default) and the freeimpi daemons running at the same time. /dale On Apr 24, 2009, at 3:31 PM, Garrett D'Amore wro

I'm OK with the answer. I'd request/recommend that as a matter of good architecture, we (Sun) change our code so that *either* ipmitool *or* freeipmi is sufficient. I think that probably means (since we don't have any other consumers for freeipmi) architectural advice to try to change the HPC s

This is clearly a platform level tool and as such is probably more appropriate for review in PSARC. It is also not self review in my opinion since I don't see how interaction with the existing ipmitool is covered. Nor do I see any way that the two daemons are started - I'd expect SMF services.
