[Freeipmi-users] ipmi_open_inband no such device on Ibm e325

[Rene Salmon]

Hi list,

I am very new to IPMI and I am hoping to get some help here.
I have an IBM e325 server on which I am trying to run freeimpi and I am 
getting the following error when I try to run bmc-info:

src/freeipmi# bmc-info
ipmi_open_inband(): No such device


Here is what i did:
downloaded and installed these packages on a SuSe-9.3 e325.

freeipmi-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
freeipmi-utils-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
freeipmi-devel-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
freeipmi-fish-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

After updating the BMC firmware and the BIOS on the server I set up the 
following in BIOS settings.


* Advanced Setup
  - Console Redirection
    - Console Redirection: On-board COM A
    - Baud Rate: 9600
    - Console Type: vt100
    - Flow Control: CTS/RTS
    - Console connection: Direct
    - Continue C.R. after POST: On
  - Baseboard Management Controller
    - Change COM port Setting: Yes
    - COM post on BMC: IPMB


Any idea as to what might be the problem?

Thank you

Rene
