Hey Evan, Just so I'm not mistaken, you're saying that ipmi-sensors works over the LAN, but ipmipower and ipmiconsole don't? Also, just to make sure, you're using FreeIPMI 0.4.2?

The SOL enable/disable & Deactivate payload commands are specific to SOL, don't worry about them for ipmipower. > Using the bmc-config tool, my SOL_Conf section is completely blank. It's quite possible Asus implemented that section incorrectly, which is why they provided you with special openipmicmd calls. There's a lot of debugging we can do to get to the bottom of this. Lets start with just ipmipower to make things simpler. Can you try using the FreeIPMI debug rpms (on the webpage, or if you are compiling from source, just add --enable-debug when you run ./configure) so we can get extra debug info? With ipmipower try: > ipmipower -h <yournode> -u <yourusername> -p <yourpassword> -l admin --stat --debug --ipmidump The above gets me a bunch of info for an IPMI 1.5 lan session. > ipmipower -h <yournode> -u <yourusername> -p <yourpassword> -l admin - R 2.0 -T 2 --debug --ipmidump --stat The second one copies exactly the authentication/encryption options given by the "Set SOL Enable" given below. So I can get more debug info that way too. You may want to try w/o the debug options first, just to see if they work first of course :-) Thanks, Al On Fri, 2007-08-10 at 10:06 -0700, Felix, Evan J wrote: > I had not as of yet setup other accounts, so I set one up using the > User3 config tools using the bmc_config program.
