[Freeipmi-users] bmc-info problems

[Daryl Lautenschlager]

I have two questions about bmc-info.


1.       There is a linux command bmc-info and a freeipmi command bmc-info.   
When I issue the command is it the linux command or the freeipmi command.

2.       I am using c code for my software, so I use the c code system command 
to issue the bmc-info command.    The target system is a SuperMicro  Product ID 
2332.   If I issue the bmc-info command from the script I get a return code of 
ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0:internal error.    If I issue the same command 
manually from a terminal it completes successfully.   To complicate things,   
the script works without problems on the target system in my lab, however on a 
customer system which is an identical setup it fails.

Do you have any information on what might be causing this.
