I've got a remote machine and I'd like to install a debian server on it using ipmi. I've already installed the ipmitool and openipmi packages and tried following some instructions on setting up ipmi but so far I couldn't manage to work even the most simple things. For instance, if I attempt to execute the following command:
Code: Select all
~$ ipmitool -I open chassis status
I don't seem to have enough knowledge to diagnose the problem on my own so I need some help from the forum. First I'd like to understand why the above-mentioned command fails to execute properly.
Here's some information about the system:
Linux 4.11.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.11.6-1 (2017-06-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
