Re: [Freeipmi-devel] ipmi-discovery

[vijay v]

Hi Al,

 

This tool will discover all the IPMI devices in the range of IP Addresses specified using startIP and endIP.

 

I 've attached it.  the file name remains the same that is in the libfreeipmi/src/ipmi-ping.c and it goes exactly there ....

 

Confusion :

do we need a single tool that does ping as well as discovery ?

 

TBD / Fixed better:

-------------------------------

1) timeout should be implemented for discovery and the select wait time should be split accordingly ?

2) interval should be between the time between each ping of destination

3) count as in ipmi-ping.

 

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi Vijay,

I'll have to defer to A.B. for the final choice of what we do. Once
it's cleaned up and final, perhaps it could just be a separate tool in
FreeIPMI?

For now, how about posting the beginning src somewhere or just send it
out on the mailing list. That way we can get idea of where the tool
is at.
