我有一台旧服务器，我试图让IPMI工作。
服务器主板是SE7520JR2 （ SE7520JR22S, SE7520JR22.86B.P.08.10.0081.051820051126 ）
$ dmidecode -t 38 # dmidecode 2.11 SMBIOS 2.3 present. Handle 0x0038, DMI type 38, 18 bytes IPMI Device Information Interface Type: SSIF (SMBus System Interface) Specification Version: 1.5 I2C Slave Address: 0x10 NV Storage Device: Not Present Base Address: 0x42 (SMBus)
我已经通过I2C端口工作
$ modprobe i2c-i801 $ modprobe i2c-dev $ ls -lsa /dev/i2c-0 0 crw-rw---T 1 root i2c 89, 0 Apr 18 01:55 /dev/i2c-0
而且我也得到了BMC的信息
$ bmc-info -D ssif --disable-auto-probe --driver-address=0x42 --driver-device=/dev/i2c-0 Device ID : 32 Device Revision : 1 Device SDRs : supported Firmware Revision : 2.40 Device Available : yes (normal operation) IPMI Version : 1.5 Sensor Device : supported SDR Repository Device : supported SEL Device : supported FRU Inventory Device : supported IPMB Event Receiver : supported IPMB Event Generator : unsupported Bridge : unsupported Chassis Device : supported Manufacturer ID : Intel Corporation (343) Product ID : 17169
另外ipmi-chassis-config输出似乎不完整
$ ipmi-chassis-config -D ssif --disable-auto-probe --driver-address=0x42 --driver-device=/dev/i2c-0 --checkout # # Section Chassis_Front_Panel_Buttons Comments # # The following configuration options are for enabling or disabling button # functionality on the chassis. Button may refer to a pushbutton, switch, or # other front panel control built into the system chassis. # # The value of the below may not be able to be checked out. Therefore we # recommend the user configure all four fields rather than a subset of them, # otherwise some assumptions on configure may be made. # Section Chassis_Front_Panel_Buttons $
问题是从kernel 2.6.35 / 36版本开始， ipmi_smb内核驱动程序不存在，而ipmi_si不适用于SSIF / I2Cconfiguration（据我所知，modinfo）。
因此，像ipmitool任何工具将失败（ Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory ）
在以后的内核中是否有对SSIF IPMI设备的支持，还是可以以某种方式添加？
我正在运行Debian 7.4（ 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux ）。
我不这么认为。 我在这里有相同的旧硬件，我也坚持在内核2.6.35。 看来这个补丁没有被移植到更新的内核版本上：/
