Hi,
Making some progress here. I can now use bmc-config out of band the
option that finally worked was:
> bmc-config -h 192.168.0.11 -u admin -p xxx -l ADMIN -o
You where correct I need to specify the ADMIN privilege level.
No I can get the IPMI settings to a file edit them and then update the
remote node!!!
Next I need to do two things first test the ipmipower make sure i can do
that and last Serial over lan.
Got stuck on the first one. I tried just getting the power status of
the remote node and got this:
/home/rsalmon> ipmipower -h 192.168.0.11 -u admin -p xxx -s
192.168.0.11: bmc error
/home/rsalmon> ipmipower -h 192.168.0.11 -u admin -p xxx -l ADMIN -s
192.168.0.11: bmc error
/home/rsalmon> ipmipower -h 192.168.0.11 -s
192.168.0.11: off
So it seems to get the power status when run as user NULL. But Then I
can't power up the node because of a privilege issue:
/home/rsalmon> ipmipower -h 192.168.0.11 --on
192.168.0.11: permission denied
/home/rsalmon> ipmipower -h 192.168.0.11 -u admin -p xxx -l ADMIN --on
192.168.0.11: bmc error
/home/rsalmon> ipmipower -h 192.168.0.11 -u admin -p xxx --on
192.168.0.11: bmc error
From the man pages it looks like "-u admin" should work:
-u, --username name
Sets the username to use when authenticating with the BMC. The user must
have operator or administrator privilege to run the `--on', `--off',
`--reset', `--cycle', `--pulse', or `--soft' power control commands. The
user needs only user privileges to determine the status of the machine
through `--stat'. If not specified, a null username (Anonymous Login
`User ID 1') is assumed.
any ideas?
Thanks
Rene

Hey Rene,
Could you try passing the privilege option -p admin to bmc-config?
Note to A.B. & Bala, the fact that bmc-config typically rquires admin
privileges (unlike ipmipower, ipmi-sensors, etc) should probably be
noted in the manpage. Or perhaps defaulted to inside bmc-config??
ng and rmcpping must send a packet
