Re: [Ipmitool-devel] Strange problems on IBM x3455.

[Massimo G. <ma...@cr...>]

Ok, it sounds well, but BMC HW settings seem not have any idea about the
lan channel, like if there isn't any NIC.
It is coherent with HW settings, if the behaviour of a new BMC is that
it doesn't have a NIC and the last has to be configured later, in
order to make it available to BMC. But now the questions is: does
someone know how to make BMC finding at least on of the three
NICs on the motherboard?

I was thinking about a behaviour in which BMC queries the I2C bus or
SMBus to find any NIC and store data about them in eeprom.
Is it correct? and if so, how can I do that?

Is there a place where I can find something about I2C bus and addresses
used in IBM x3455 and how to deal with peripherals attached to it?

Thanks,
    Massimo.
