Re: [Freeipmi-users] Tyan Thunder S2882 with m3289 bmc module

[Bala.A]

Hi,

Here is very old and unmaintained version of ipmipower.  This is for
testing purpose.

1. Uninstall freeipmi completely

2. Install libcdcipmi.  You can get it from
ftp://ftp.californiadigital.com/pub/freeipmi/download/misc/libcdcipmi-0.1.1.tar.gz

3. Install ipmipower. You can get it from
ftp://ftp.californiadigital.com/pub/freeipmi/download/misc/ipmipower-0.1.2.tar.gz

Please try this and let me know.

Thanks,

Best Regards
Bala
