Hi,
I have been digging a lots of reading in the last few days and I start
to wonder if I am not running in a dead end.
I am testing the remote management capability. I got nice serial console
access working very well based on the FAQ 7.6.
I also got the IMPI enable in kernel and get plenty of sensors reading.
I continue to play with the IPMI/BMC and got the packages "impitool" for
my OpenBSD box and configure the access and all to that test box good.
I can even have a nice shell to the IMPI over TCP on that box too.
I can do changes for the TCP, do power cycle, reboot, monitoring, etc.
Bunch of fun stuff. Get all the sensors over tcp good, or better yet on
the local shell as well via the ipmitool package.
I try to read the IPMI 2.0 and 1.5 specs from Intel here:
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/spec.htm
Pretty long stuff I must admit. Didn't read all for sure.
Various other documents there and look like SOL, ISOL, TSOL are all
available on the shell to as well as over LAN, but pass that I hit a wall.
I know it does work for the box I am testing with as I get that remote
console via their web access with java and all like Sun if you are
familiar with that. It's cool, but I really like the CLI instead of the
blotted java stuff.
What I am trying to do is to see if I can actually get console
redirection, or serial redirection to that IPMI shell or not, or better
yet to a remote connection, but I start to think that it may not be
possible without a FULL iLOM like processor optional board may be? But
with a local shell already and all, I would think it may be possible to
do specially that the web interface to the IMPI/BCM allow all that I
would need to do and more.
Reading all the specs and what ever I could put my hands on via google,
I thought that it would be possible. But I am so close I can have the
shell in impi using the impitool and issue the SOL activate command and
looks like it may go do something, but then I just can't pass that.
I don't know what else I could read to get that going and start to think
that may be it can't be done, or I haven't found the right info yet.
Anyone have a clue stick may be, or simply a NO answer so that I would
stop pulling what ever hair I still have left?
Obviously I can't say how to connect the OpenBSD console to IPMI, like I
can do the serial to the COM1 via the stty and tty, etc.
Based on the specs of IPMI I would think it should be possible.
But is it?
I would very much appreciate a pointer, may be a URL to some other good
docs that I may have not find yet, or even a simple "no", that's not
possible to do at all with may be some meat details as to why so that I
understand would be great!
I just fell there is a very stupid thing I am not doing right, but I
can't find it!
The specs of the box say clearly that KVM-over-LAN is supported, virtual
media over LAN, witch I really don't care for, but may be nice to play
with. If I ever need that, then may be at that time I would use the java
stuff, but for most of the time, why go that far.
dmesg below if that's of any value.
The box is this one if that needed too.

Thanks for your time.
