[ipmiutil-developers] IPMIutil in windows

[rajesh g. <raj...@ya...>]

Hello All,

I am trying to learn to use IPMI data access tools in windows. 

I know that ipmi util requires IPMI driver from the machine I am trying to collect data from(remotely). I am querying the IPMI enabled device from an XP machine. Are they are pre-requisites for the client machine too? Like should I have WinRM in XP? 

I am getting the following error when I query a IPMI BMC. 

D:\Program Files\Intel\ipmiutil>ipmiutil.exe sel -l 5 -N 192.168.200.2 
ipmiutil ver 2.40
showsel: version 2.40
Opening lan connection to node 192.168.200.2 ...
Connecting to node  192.168.200.2
ipmilan_open_session error, rv = -3
ipmilan BMC receive failed
ipmi_open error = -3
showsel, BMC receive failed

the msdn website for Microsoft_IPMI class says the minimum client is Win Vista. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa392342(VS.85).aspx

Can someone please clarify. Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks,

Rajesh
