[Linux-ia64] EMP/IPMI and Lion

[Egan Ford]

Has anyone made use of the IPMI/BMC/EMP hardware on the Lion (4-way SMP)
boxes with Linux?  Looking for links, tip, or hints.

Thanks.

Sorry to reply to a stale message, but I just tested VACM's EMP module on
our four Lions (2 from HP, 2 from IBM).  Works fine, or at least as well
as VACM ever works. http://vacm.sourceforge.net/

You do have to use the smConfig utility to enable the EMP.

If anyone's aware of any other Linux utilities that talk EMP, I'd be very
interested.

If all you want is simple power on/off/state/reset with a simple CLU,
then use kimberlite.

You will need to use smConfig, set the port (COM2:) to 19200 and "Always
Active".
