This project has been released since 2001, so it is interesting that this hasn't been an issue until now, but I understand that libtool for RHEL would not be a fit for Debian. It does pose some issues from my end though, because I have now retired and my infrastructure to build and test all of the various OS versions is limited. In any case, let's see what can be done in the near term. The official current source tarball is always at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmiutil/files/ipmiutil-3.2.2.tar.gz...

From Nov 21, 2024 email thread: I really don't have any good answers to resolve this. A few things that you could do: - use version 3.1.8 if that suits you best for this case - investigate the firmware side to see why it appears to return extra bytes for the HMAC - use the new version with -Y Also note that there have been several openssl DLL version upgrades, so the latest (ipmiutil-3.2.1) should have all the current fixes.

It looks like this particuar compiler does not handle these 'const struct vFlashstr' declarations properly. It must need the struct defined explicitly. There are several other oem*.c files affected if so. const struct vFlashstr vFlash_completion_code_vals[] = {... }; I have attached an updated ocm_dell.c which should work better. Please try with that and let me know if it gets past ocm_dell.c now.

Let's review the questions you posed: 1) Is there a method to test ipmiutil without a physical IPMI server? A: The purpose of ipmiutil is to support physical IPMI servers, but it may work with the simulators for functions that do not require two-byte sensors (outside the IPMI standard). 2) What is the 'driverless' option in ipmiutil? Normally, when configuring IPMI on a server, it is run locally, and a driver is required for the OS to talk to the IPMI firmware. Key drivers: openipmi (Linux), imb...

Andy Cress posted a comment on ticket #59

Andy Cress — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 13:18:40 -0000

There are some ipmiutil commands that do not require sensor ids which should work with the simulators (like health, reset, wdt), but if the command to the simulator requires two bytes for sensors, it currently won't work with ipmiutil. It would be a large effort to add support for two-byte sensor ids throughout the code. The purpose of IPMI is to manage physical servers with IPMI firmware.

I'm not familiar with IPMISIM, but I know that Corey Minyard wrote ipmi_sim, and he has been a key developer in IPMI for a long time. I don't know much about the IPMI simulators, except that some of them have gone beyond the IPMI spec (expanded the number of sensors beyond one byte). I deal mostly with IPMI firmware.

Good question. Originally the Romley systems had different soft shutdown support. The Intel Romley servers were from around 2010 IIRC, so it is possible Intel has reused the Romley ID for a different model, but they've never done that before. In any case, we need to remove the is_romley check in ireset.c based on your experience. If you do that on your system, it works, right?

It looks like there is a different in the driver type (openipmi vs. direct): In the 2.79 debug it opens the MV openipmi driver ok: ~~~ipmi_open: driver type = unknown ipmi_open_mv: cannot open /dev/ipmi/0 ipmi_open_mv: succesfully opened /dev/ipmi0, fd=4 ipmi_open rc = 0 type = open Driver type open, open rc = 0 But in the 3.15 debug, it fails to open MV openipmi and falls back to directio. ipmi_open: driver type = ipmi_open_mv: cannot open /dev/ipmi/0 ipmi_open_mv: cannot open /dev/ipmi0 ipmi_open_mv:...
