From a running system you should check if IPMI is configured correctly:
/etc/init.d/ipmi start ipmitool user list Pick one user by ID and set the password for it: ipmitool user set <ID> password <password> Check which channel is the network channel: ipmitool channel info <n> where <n> is the channel number. I haven't found any way to list all possible channels, so you'll have to step through the channels by hand. One channel should give you an output with Medium type '802.3 LAN', that's the one you're looking for. Then you can check the LAN settings by ipmitool lan print <n> that will print out the current network configuration settings, most notably the IP address. Now you can use another machine and contact the IPMI from there: ipmitool -H <ipaddress> -U <username> -P <password> power status If you get a message like: Chassis Power is on then IPMI is configured properly. Then you should be able to do something like ipmitool -H <ipaddress> -U <username> -P <password> -I lanplus sol activate and you should be seeing the output of the serial-over-LAN connection. Famous last words. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
