What is IPMI? The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification defines a set of interfaces for platform management. It is implemented by a large number of hardware manufacturers to support system management on motherboards. The features of IPMI that most users will be interested in are sensor monitoring (i.e. CPU temperatures, fan speeds), remote power control, and serial-over-LAN (SOL). What is FreeIPMI? FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. FreeIPMI provides tools and libraries for users to access and read IPMI sensor readings, system event log (SEL) entries, serial-over-LAN (SOL), remote power control functions, field replaceable unit (FRU) device information, and more. More information about FreeIPMI can be found at the FreeIPMI webpage at: http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/index.html Release 0.7.7 Changes --------------------- o Support inventec get-nic-status, set-nic-status, get-mac-address, and set-mac-address OEM commands in ipmi-oem. o Make default privilege level ADMIN for ipmi-oem. o In bmc-info, output both chars of firmware minor revision (i.e. 1.01 instead of 1.1). o Fix libfreeipmi field validity checks for sensor units. o Support "oem_reserved" group input to ipmi-sensors. o Fix Solaris porting bugs. o Fix potential config file bug by clearing out stack data appropriatly. o Support build option (--with-dont-check-for-root) to not have tools check for root for in-band IPMI communication. Permission checks are subsequently dealt with at underlying system calls and drivers. (i.e. open() on /dev/ipmi0). o Update bmc-config manpage with Dell specific workaround. o Remove "experimental" note from SUNBMC driver documentation.
