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 0.7.8 Changes --------------------- o Support and document Inventec 5441 workarounds. Most notably, added "opensesspriv" workaround to tools and OPEN_SESSION_PRIVILEGE workaround to libraries. o In ipmi-fru, do not fail on invalid chassis info area type, output that type is unknown and continue to parse area. o In bmc-info, output device ID, manufacturer ID, and product ID as integers, not hex. o Fix glibc 2.8 compile bug.
