IPMI Shell Issues, Frequently Asked Questions

Page 104 highlights

IPMI Shell Issues • If you type ipmish from any directory other than the directory where the BMU is installed, you will receive a "command not found" error from MS-DOS®. This is because the BMU install directory is not included in the system search path. You can execute IPMISH directly by specifying a fully-qualified path or by first navigating to the BMC directory and then executing the command. You may also manually add the BMU install directory to the execution search path. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Do IPMI Shell commands correspond one-to-one to IPMI commands? A: IPMI Shell provides only the most useful IPMI commands. It includes a definitive set of commands that can accomplish the most common management tasks. Therefore, IPMI Shell commands may not correspond one-to-one to IPMI commands. Q: Can I manage a system by accessing multiple IPMI instances simultaneously? A: Yes, you can manage a system by accessing multiple IPMI instances at the same time as long as your system's BMC supports more than one concurrent connection. Q: Can my SOL Proxy server handle multiple connections at a time? A: Yes, each SOL Proxy server can handle a maximum of 20 SOL Proxy connections simultaneously. However, by default only one session is permitted. Edit solproxy.cfg, remove the comment tag and increase the value of max_session. Q: How do I unlock an SOL session occupied by another user? A: Your system's BMC only supports one SOL session at a time. You must wait for the current user's session to time out before you can access a new SOL proxy session. See "Session Timeout" for more information about configuring the session timeout parameters. 104 Known Issues and Frequently Asked Questions
