FreeIPMI 1.5.1 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 1.5.1 Changes --------------------- o Update Intel Node Manager support for 3.0 specification. - Update API and fiid templates in libfreeipmi. - Support new OEM SEL events - Update ipmi-oem commands. - Support new get/set-turbo-synchronization-ratio - Support new 'policypowerdomain' option in get-node-manager-capabilities and set-node-manager-policy. - Update output of get-node-manager-policy and get-node-manager-capabilities for changes. - get/set-node-manager-alert-thresholds converted to get/set-node-manager-policy-alert-thresholds. Legacy commands still supported. o Update libfreeipmi for IPMI 2.0 Errata 7. - Support/handle FRU Multirecord NVM Express type. o Support Get Device SDR Info, Get Device SDR, and Reserve Device SDR Repository commands in libfreeipmi. o Support ipmi-sel OEM interpretation of Linux kernel panics. o Re-organize OEM header files into per-vendor files. o In ipmi-oem, fix error in "DNS Register BMC" output in "get-dns-config" output in Inventec, Quanta, and Wistron vendor sections. o Support systemd through --with-systemdsystemunitdir configure option. o Minor corner case bug fixes. -- Albert Chu ch...@llnl.gov Computer Scientist High Performance Systems Division Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
