FreeIPMI 1.2.3 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 1.2.3 Changes --------------------- Tools ------ o In ipmi-oem, support new Dell Poweredge R720 OEM commands extensions, including: - get-nic-selection-failover - set-nic-selection-failover - power-monitoring-over-interval - power-monitoring-interval-range - get-last-post-code o In ipmi-oem, update active-lom-status for Dell Poweredge R720. o In ipmi-oem, support new Dell Poweredge R720 get-system-info option 'cmc-info'. o In ipmi-oem, Dell get-system-info "slot-number" key changed to "blade-slot-info". Legacy option still supported. o In ipmi-sel, support Dell Poweredge R720 OEM SEL extensions. o In all tools, support nochecksumcheck workaround option. o In all daemons (ipmiseld, ipmidetectd, bmc-watchdog), check for syscall errors during daemon setup. Libraries --------- o In libfreeipmi, support Dell R720 OEM extension intepretations. o In libfreeipmi, libipmimonitoring, and libipmiconsole, support NO_CHECKSUM_CHECK workaround flag. o In libipmiconsole, IPMICONSOLE_DEBUG_FILE logs debug to files in current working directory and not /var/log. PID is also appended to debug files. Misc ---- o Various documentation updates and fixes. -- Albert Chu ch...@llnl.gov Computer Scientist High Performance Systems Division Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
