Hi,
I just want to double check that you're using an up to date version of
FreeIPMI. Assuming "invalid channel number" is the only error output
you are getting, that is being output as an argument parsing error.
An argument parsing bug was fixed in FreeIPMI 1.4.9 that could explain
the parsing error.
If not, I'd have to work with you to debug exactly what is happening.
As a side note, updating the above with --lan-channel-number=3 may not
work b/c the section name may also change (I can't remember under
which circumstances it changes and doesn't, it depends and I can't
remember exactly which circumstances). So you may need to change to:
bmc-config, --checkout, --key-pair=Lan_Conf_Channel_3:IP_Address
or something close to that. You can use -L to see the section names
to double check.
