Topic

Updated ipmitool packages that fix two bugs and add two enhancements are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ipmitool packages contain a command line utility for interfacing with
devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
specification. IPMI is an open standard for machine health, inventory, and
remote power control.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the exit code of the "ipmitool -o list" command was set

incorrectly so that the command always returned 1. This update modifies ipmitool
to return the exit code 0 as expected. (BZ#715615)

  • The "ipmitool sol payload" and "ipmitool sel" commands previously accepted

incorrect argument values, which caused the ipmitool utility to terminate
unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. With this update, argument values of
these commands are now validated, and ipmitool no longer crashes but generates
an error message when used with incorrect arguments. (BZ#725993)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

  • Previously, ipmitool could not be used to set retransmission intervals of IPMI

messages over the LAN or lanplus interface. This update introduces new options,
"-R" and "-N", which can be used to specify number of retransmissions and delay
between them (in seconds) when transferring IPMI messages using the LAN or
lanplus interfaces. (BZ#748073)

  • The "ipmitool delloem" command has been updated to the latest upstream

version, which includes the new "vFlash" command allowing to show information
about extended SD cards. This patch also updates documentation of the "ipmitool
delloem" commands, improves error descriptions and adds support for new
hardware. (BZ#739358)

All users of ipmitool are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
