Hi,

I am trying to simulate the IPMI simulator for test purposes  but was
failing somehow..
I see lot of help being given in this forum , especially Corey Minyard.
Thank you.
I am new to IPMI and QEMU, but followed the threads and was able to fix up
to some point. Right now struck and not able to figure out .So reaching for
you guys help.
I compiled and installed  stable-2.2-ipmi Qemu branch, and new version of
OpenIPMI.
I am using the cirros image to boot up using the Qemu.

My startcmd is as follows:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm  -nographic -net
nic,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:59 -net
user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-10.0.2.15:22 -chardev
socket,id=ipmi0,host=localhost,port=9002,reconnect=10 -device
isa-ipmi,chardev=ipmi0,interface=bt,irq=5 -serial
mon:tcp::9003,server,telnet,nowait -initrd
/opt/cirros/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-initramfs -kernel
/opt/cirros/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-kernel --append 'root=/dev/hda
console=ttyS0,115200'

When ran Qemu command alone on the console get this error:
qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to connect character device ipmi0: Error
connecting to socket: Connection refused

My BMC and lan.conf are

Once I ran the ipmi_sim command, I can see the bmc variables read from the
emu file, but I dont see the qemu instance booted up.
And when I ran the ipmitool , I am getting the following errors:

[root@localhost~]# ipmitool -I lanplus -v  -H 127.0.0.1 -p 9002 -U ipmiusr
power status
              Password:
Get Auth Capabilities error
Get Auth Capabilities error
Error issuing Get Channel Authentication Capabilies request
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Unable to get Chassis Power Status

This is where I am struck. Please suggest.

Thanks,
Ramakrishna.
