Topic

Updated ipmitool packages that fix several bugs and add various 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.

The ipmitool utility has been upgraded to upstream version 1.8.14, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#825194)

This update also fixes the following bug:

  • The IPMI kernel code was missing aliases for the IPMI kernel modules.

Consequently, not all of the IPMI kernel modules could be automatically loaded
when the appropriate hardware was detected, and the hardware thus could not be
used. To fix this problem, the module alias configuration file has been added to
the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, linking all of the separate IPMI modules to the
IPI* device class alias. Note that the system must be rebooted for this change
to take effect. (BZ#1029529)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

  • To improve usage of ipmitool as a part of the software stack, certain

environment variables were unified and several new variables were introduced to
ipmitool, specifically:

IPMITOOL_* variables now take precedence over IPMI_* variables.

The IPMITOOL_KGKEY variable has been added to unify the name space usage.

  • Limited IPv6 support has been added to the ipmitool packages; the IPMI

standard does not include the IPv6 data definitions, and therefore this change
includes only IPv6 connectivity. The OEM-vendor-specific command values related
to IPv6 are beyond the scope of this feature. (BZ#1056581)

Users of ipmitool are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements. After installing this update, the IPMI
event daemon (ipmievd) will be restarted automatically.

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
