RHBA-2013:0492 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenIPMI packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The OpenIPMI packages provide command-line tools and utilities to access
platform information using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).
System administrators can use OpenIPMI to manage systems and to perform system
health monitoring.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The kernel ipmi_msghandler and ipmi_si modules are no longer delivered as

standalone modules. As a consequence, an error occurred if these modules were
used independently. With this update, the OpenIPMI init script has been modified
to enable IPMI service operations on a kernel with ipmi_si and ipmi_msghandler
statically compiled in the kernel. Also, the service status message now includes
a new "in kernel" module state. (BZ#881450)

Users of OpenIPMI are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
