Heads-up: /dev/bmc for SPARC

Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 10:42:35 -0700

Subject: Heads-up: /dev/bmc for SPARC

With the putback of:

        PSARC/2008/119 sun4v /dev/bmc
        6651404 Netra-T5220 needs ipmitool support through internal 
communication channel

Solaris Nevada now supports /dev/bmc for sun4v platforms.  This driver is
interface-compatible with /dev/bmc for x86.  As a result, any 
application that uses /dev/bmc
will now work transparently on both x86 and sun4v platforms.  For example,
"ipmitool -I bmc <command>" will work in either platform.

Please send your questions to turgo-ipmi at sun dot com .
