Yes, that is correct. > > The sample lan.conf has two sections started by set_working_mc 0x20 > and set_working_mc 0x30.

IPMI supports configurations with multiple management controllers, say if you put a management controller in a power supply that just managed that device. However, you should be able to manage multiple VMs from a single IPMI simulator. Create an MC for each VM and set it up, and send the chassis management commands to the individual MC. You can use the "-t" option of ipmitool to set the particular MC you are addressing. -corey -corey
