I can't make heads or tails out of this. I've gone through the docs and installed FreeIPMI on the IPMI system as well as on the system I want to access it remotely from. (both Debian Testing)
I gather the next step is to run 'ipmi-config --checkout' in order to be able to access the IPMI server from the LAN by setting IP and MAC of the destination machine, but it doesn't say whether this should be run on the server or client machine. I can tell you that on the server machine it just hangs. But how else would I tell the client where the server is? On the server it spews out tons of information, but no actual config file is written in /etc/freeipmi. Or am I supposed to run this as the user who will be running the utilities? It doesn't say anywhere. Docs are unusable, unless you know everything about everything about FreeIPMI. Isn't there a GUI for this? I don't have time to learn a whole new language/paradigm. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users
