FreeIPMI 1.1.1 has been released. It can be downloaded at: http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/download.html
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 1.1.1 Changes --------------------- Tools ----- o Support new tool ipmi-pet, tool to parse/interpret platform event traps. o Support new --sdr-cache-file option specify specific SDR cache file in all SDR related tools (ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sel, ipmi-fru, etc.). o In ipmi-fru, do not consider a busy device a fatal error. o In ipmi-sensors, support 'ignoreauthcode' workaround option. o In ipmi-sensors, support Quanta QSSC-S4R/Appro GB812X-CN OEM SDRs and sensors. o In ipmi-sel, support Quanta QSSC-S4R/Appro GB812X-CN OEM SEL events. o In ipmi-sel, fix several OEM specific event output bugs. o In ipmi-pef-config, fix configuration bug for Enable_PEF_Event_Messages. o In ipmi-raw, for file/stdin input, output line number when there is an error. Libraries --------- o Update libfreeipmi for DCMI 1.5 additions. o Update libfreeipmi fru-parse sub-library to support FRU parsing without an IPMI connection. o In libfreeipmi, support IPMI_FLAGS_NOSESSION flag to open a context for IPMI communication w/o establishing a session. o In libfreeipmi, support IPMI_FLAGS_NO_LEGAL_CHECK flag, to workaround motherboards to may return illegal IPMI packets. o In libfreeipmi, support IPMI_FLAGS_IGNORE_AUTHENTICATION_CODE flag, to workaround specific situations where motherboards return incorrectly generated authentication codes. o In libfreeipmi fru-parse sub-library, support IPMI_FRU_PARSE_ERR_DEVICE_BUSY error code. o In libfreeipmi, add support for IPMI firmware firewall and command discovery payloads. o In libfreeipmi, support Quanta QSSC-S4R/Appro GB812X-CN OEM SEL events. o Fix various macro names (typos, invalid naming, etc.) Contributions ------------- o petalert.pl - snmptrapd handler script to alert when Platform Event Traps (PET) occur.
