RE: [Panicsel-developers] Intel STL2 board capable of IPMI functi ons?

[Cress, A. R <and...@in...>]

Steve,

I got ipmi_ctl to build, and I think I got some basic functions to work a
while ago, but I can't remember what changes I had to make to bring it up.
I did notice that there is an unrelated bug in ipmi_ctl.c (line 680,
set_asset) s/IPMI_09/IPMI_10/.  I'll try again with the latest version.

Corey's driver took some of the code from bmcpanic, but didn't implement
several of the requirements we had from telco sources.  I recommend using
his driver with that module turned off in the config, and turning bmcpanic
on.  Corey's panic handling only does the basic SEL record, but does not:
  - include any info (like panic string) defining what the panic is in the
SEL record
  - include any attempt to set alarms panel LEDs, if present
  - have an option to do a chassis reset or power down after panic (since
soft reset may sometimes fail)
bmcpanic does support these features, plus the utilities set up the
configuration that it needs for the SNMP LAN alerts (via pefconfig).

functions?

OK, the STL2 board seems to be capable of some IPMI functions.
I was able to list out the SEL so far using showsel from the
panicsel package and the linux-ipmi-2.4.19 driver from Corey
Minyard. I tried to use San's ipmi_ctl software (I pointed
you towards this the other day, Andy) and it keeps failing
in the report_device_id function with an error of:

report_device_id(): failed (Invalid argument)

Andy: Did you get ipmi_ctl to work or not?
If you did was there any code modification you had to do
to the various source files for ipmi_ctl?
The dmidecode tool that comes with the ipmi_ctl package seems
to work fine on the STL2 motherboard I have so at least
part of San's old tools work.

I see Corey's driver supports generating an event on a panic
like the bmcpanic.patch does. Any idea if only one or the other
is needed to use panicsel or will both patches co-exist OK?
Or will either patch work with panicsel?

I notice that one conflict with the patches is that both add
panic_notifier_list to the list of exported symbols in ksyms.c
My guess is that only one or the other of the patches is needed
but can anyone confirm that?
