Unable to execute IPMI commands

Unable to execute IPMI commands

[AKASH G J]

Hi Team,

I am new in BMC. We have one custom board that contains Aspeed AST-2500 BMC
chip. I have installed openbmc Linux into the board and tried to execute
IPMI commands using ipmitool. I tried with both open interface and dbus
interface. But it is showing errors "*Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0
or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0*. No such file or directory" and "*error
loading interface dbus*". Please someone help to resolve this.

Whether any firmware required for running IPMI commands on the board, other
than openbmc Linux image ?




Thanks and regards,

Akash G J

Hi Akash,

Where did you get ipmitool? I believe command “ipmitool -I dbus” works normally. phosphor-ipmi-tool recipe (https://github.com/openbmc/ipmitool) supports OpenBMC D-Bus protocol. You can easily package that ipmitool to openbmc rootfs, try to add below line to your machine conf file and rebuild openbmc phosphor image.

OBMC_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL_append += “phosphor-ipmi-tool”

Best regards,
Chuong.

Do you not have the device /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmidev/0 in your sysfs? You
may not have your IPMI device configured correctly.  Which wire are you
trying to use IPMI over, LAN or something like LPC or IPMB?
