ATCA-7350 Installation and Use (6806800G59G) 112
Installing ipmitool
For RedHat RHEL:
1. Download 1.8.9 or newer version of ipmitool from
http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/
2. Install ipmitool 1.8.9 on the Client. ipmitool provides the SOL client interface.
3. Type: tar zxvf ipmitool-1.8.9.tar.gz
4. Change directory to the ipmitool directory created after tar, cd ipmitool-1.8.9
5. Type: ./configure
6. Type: make install
7. For RedHat RHEL only: Before using ipmitool, start the IPMI drivers.
Start the IPMI drivers:
# /etc/init.d/ipmi
start (This will start IPMI drivers for this particular session only.)
# chkconfig ipmi
on (This starts IPMI drivers by default onthe next reboot.)
If the computer that ipmitool was just installed on has a local IPMC, the ipmitool
installation can be tested by typing:
ipmitool raw 6 1
If ipmitool is running correctly, the response should be in a format similar to:
20 81 01 03 02 3f 57 01 00 0c 08 01 05 01 00.
Start an SOL Session
After the SOL function is activated, the payload serial port cannot be output from the panel.
If you set the system serial port to be output to the panel through IPMI command at this time,
you can use the serial port through the panel only after the SOL is disconnected.
