Enabling IPMI LAN Access on a Linux-Based Server
(In-Band)
1. If the server is powered off, boot the local OS.
2. Log in to the server and authenticate as the user root.
3. Load the OpenIPMI kernel device driver (as installed in Part III, Step 3).
# modprobe ipmi_kcs_drv
4. Using IPMItool, configure the network setting for the SP.
Note – For more information on the syntax for IPMItool commands, refer to
