IPMI inquiries

Hi guys,

I am new with the ipmitool and currently notice that with the sol activated "ipmitool -I lanplus -U <id> -P <pass> -H <IP> sol activate", I will always get hanged for 15 - 15mins during boot up at the BIOS checkpoint 75 & 78 (AMI BIOS).

I don't have a clue why had the CPU freeze for that long period whenever the sol is activated. Anyone can advice me?

Thanks - I need this as soon as possible.
 
POST Code Checkpoints 75 (Initialize Int-13 and prepare for IPL detection), and 78 (Initializes IPL devices controlled by BIOS and option ROMs), are fully explained in this section of the IBM z/OS manual: Starting z/OS: The initialization (IPL) process.

If there isn't an actual hardware problem it may be your commandline that's causing the problem. After I read through the ipmitool manpage it appears that the syntax of your commandline is incorrect:

ipmitool -I lanplus -U <id> -P <pass> -H <IP> sol activate

An example commandline for activating a console in IPMI 2.0:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.100.xxx -U root -P wxyzq sol activate

I hope this will at least give you a starting point for solving your problem.
