HP-OpenIPMI drivers ipmi_si don't load

aveseb — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 11:57:01 GMT

Hi,

I have a few question, I can't load ipmi_si module on my centos4.4 x86_64. I used HP-OpenIPMI start script and no module is loaded. My /var/log/messages tells :
ipmi_si: Searching for PCI Vendor 0x103c, Device 0x3302
ipmi_si: Trying "kcs" at I/O port 0xca2
ipmi_si: Trying "smic" at I/O port 0xca9
ipmi_si: Trying "bt" at I/O port 0xe4
ipmi_si: Unable to find any System Interface(s)

My server is a DL360 G4p.
Does somebody knows what to change in the start script. Thanks you very much

Maybe the command lspci -v or lspci -vvv as root could help you futher... and also have a look at dmesg to see if this reveals more info, because it look like you divice is not seen at all by the system ?.

I do not have a setup like your so just speculating... hope this get you going.

I've tried all vendordevice numbers given by lspci without any success. I'm wondering if the problem come from ILO2 port.
Here is a sample of lspci
#lspci -n
00:03.0 Class 0604: 1022:7460 (rev 07) ....

For exemple, I used 10227460 as PCIVendorDevice given by 1022:7460 for all my lspci entries. Am I right, did I use the good numbers ?

Thanks for your answers

Unfortunately I didn't find any solution, and I don't understand why HP give an OpenIPMI package that doesn't work on is own hardware.

Your system DL360 G4p, which use ILO controller, not ILO2 controller. you can verify it by

cat /proc/bus/pci/devices | grep -i 0e11a0f0

If there is output, your system use ASM controller.

cat /proc/bus/pci/devices | grep -i 0e11b203

If there is output, your system use iLO controller.

cat /proc/bus/pci/devices | grep -i 103c3302

If there is output, your system use iLO2 controller.

From my understanding, only iLO2 controller provide IPMI functions.
