-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Tools - New Features
|
|
--------------------
|
|
o Support new tool ipmi-config. Ipmi-config is a consolidated
|
|
configuration tool implementing everything that was previously in
|
|
bmc-config, ipmi-pef-config, ipmi-sensors-config, and
|
|
ipmi-chassis-config.
|
|
- The consolidated tool will allow users to checkout, commit, and
|
|
diff sections/fields across the four former tools using only one
|
|
tool.
|
|
- The consolidated tool will also allow users to checkout, commit,
|
|
and diff new sections/fields not yet covered in the four former
|
|
tools.
|
|
- Legacy scripts for bmc-config, ipmi-pef-config,
|
|
ipmi-sensors-config, and ipmi-chassis-config will point to the new
|
|
tool with all appropriate options to ensure full backwards
|
|
compatability.
|
|
- The ipmi-pef-config --info option has been made legacy. It is
|
|
still supported but no longer advertised.
|
|
o Support Intel Data Center Host Interface / Management Engine as
|
|
optional driver type for in-band communication.
|
|
- Typically these are loaded as /dev/dcmi and /dev/mei drivers.
|
|
- This driver is identified as the "inteldcmi" type, as it is
|
|
specific to Intel systems.
|
|
o Support OEM extensions for Intel Windmill, Wiwynn Windmill, and
|
|
Quanta Winterfell motherboards in ipmi-sel and ipmi-sensors. These
|
|
motherboards are also know as motherboards for the Open Compute
|
|
Project (OCP).
|
|
o Support DCMI configuration in ipmi-config.
|
|
o Update FreeIPMI for changes in IPMI 2.0 Errata 5. Include are:
|
|
- New sensor events for Power Supply and OS Boot sensors. New
|
|
events are supported in all areas, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sel,
|
|
libipmimonitoring, etc.
|
|
- PEF now supports 255 filter numbers, not 127. This is supported
|
|
in ipmi-config (formerly ipmi-pef-config).
|
|
- Support get/set of new System Info Parameters Present OS Version,
|
|
BMC URL, and Base OS/Hypervisor URL. This is supported in
|
|
bmc-info and bmc-device.
|
|
o Update ipmi-oem Intel Node Manager OEM commands for changes listed
|
|
in Intelligent Power Node Manager 2.0 specification.
|
|
- Due to changes in the specification, minor text changes may exist
|
|
in some output from intelnm OEM commands.

|
|
o Fix bmc-info output of GUID, format was output with two bytes out of
|
|
order.
|
|
- May affect scripts parsing and using the GUID.
|
|
o Bmc-info now supports --get-system-guid and outputs the System GUID
|
|
as well as the Device GUID by default.
|
|
- The Device GUID is not prefixed with the text "Device GUID"
|
|
instead of just "GUID". Any scripts scripting against this will
|
|
need to be adjusted.
|
|
o Bmc-info now supports a workaround of 'guidformat' to read the GUID
|
|
with a format a number of vendors have incorrectly used.
|
|
o In ipmi-config's sensor configuration, decimal values that cannot be
|
|
encoded accurately now report a clearer error message.

---------
|
|
o In libfreeipmi, create new 'sdr' sub-library which is merger of the
|
|
earlier 'sdr-cache' and 'sdr-parse' libraries.

- This results in an ABI change. Generally speaking, all
|
|
"ipmi_sdr_cache" and "ipmi_sdr_parse" functions, types, and macros
|
|
are changed to "ipmi_sdr", although some minor exceptions exist.
|
|
- For example:
|
|
ipmi_sdr_cache_ctx_t -> ipmi_sdr_ctx_t
|
|
ipmi_sdr_parse_ctx_t -> ipmi_sdr_ctx_t
|
|
ipmi_sdr_cache_ctx_create() -> ipmi_sdr_ctx_create()
|

ipmi_sel_parse" functions, types, and macros
|
|
are changed to "ipmi_sel", although some minor exceptions exist.
|
|
- For example:
|
|
ipmi_sel_parse_ctx_t -> ipmi_sel_ctx_t
|
|
ipmi_sel_parse_ctx_destroy() -> ipmi_sel_ctx_destroy()
|
|

|
|
are changed to "ipmi_fru", although some minor exceptions exist.
|

|
|
|
|
Tools - High Level Description of Changes
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
o Support ipmi-dcmi, Data Center Management Interface (often referred
|
|
to as DCM or DCMI).
|
|
o Make output of ipmi-sel, ipmi-sensors, and ipmimonitoring easier to
|
|
read and consistent to each other. Under default output, sensors
|
|
listed in ipmi-sensors and ipmimonitoring are identical. Legacy
|
|
output is supported through the --legacy-output option.
|
|
o Rename pef-config to ipmi-pef-config for naming consistency.
|
|
o Make output of ipmi-chassis, bmc-info, bmc-device, and info output
|
|
of ipmi-sel, ipmi-sensors, and ipmi-pef-config consistent to
|
|
each other.
|
|
o When querying active/inactive, allowed/unallowed, true/false,
|
|
etc. status fields in ipmi-chassis, bmc-info, and bmc-device, output
|
|
all fields instead of only the active/allowed/true/etc. fields.
|
|
o Support exclusion equivalent options (such as
|
|
--exclude-sensor-types) in various tools such as ipmi-sel,
|
|
ipmi-sensors, and ipmimonitoring.
|
|
o Support sensor unit percentages, rates, and modifiers (e.g. "%
|
|
hit", "gigabyte per minute", "pounds / cu in") in most tools.
|
|
o Support non-abbreviated units (e.g. "Amps" instead of "A") in most
|
|
tools.
|
|
o Output IANA Manufacturer Name when appropriate in most tools.
|
|
o Support Entity ID based sensor naming through the
|
|
--entity-sensor-names option in many tools.

|
o Re-work libipmimonitoring to return sensor events for all sensors,
|
|
not just non-threshold sensors. Resulted in an API change.
|
|
o Removed many short options for more consistent command line
|
|
"architecture" between tools and to ensure short options are more
|
|
consistent between tools. Limit short options to only the most
|
|
popular options. Short options have been removed from ipmipower,
|
|
ipmiconsole, bmc-watchdog, ipmi-chassis, ipmimonitoring, ipmi-sel,
|
|
and ipmi-raw. See details below for specific short options removed.
|

|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
o Add new tool ipmi-chassis-config for chassis configuration, such as
|
|
boot device and power restore policy configuration.
|
|
o Add new tool bmc-device to support advanced BMC commands including
|
|
cold reset, warm reset, setting BMC times, and more.
|
|
o Support FreeIPMI configuration file for most tools (bmc-config,
|
|
bmc-info, bmc-device, bmc-watchdog, ipmi-chassis,
|
|
ipmi-chassis-config, ipmi-fru, ipmi-oem, ipmi-raw, ipmi-sel,
|
|
ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sensors-config, ipmiconsole, ipmimonitoring,
|
|
ipmipower, pef-config) to avoid typing common options on the command
|
|
line. See freeipmi.conf(5) for more information.
|
|
o Add hostrange support to all config tools (bmc-config, pef-config,
|
|
ipmi-sensors-config, ipmi-chassis-config) to support parallel
|
|
configuration on a cluster.
|
|
o Support --bridge-sensors in ipmi-sensors and ipmimonitoring to
|
|
access non-BMC owned sensors (experimental).
|
|
o Support --sensor-config-file on ipmimonitoring to support
|
|
alternate interpretation rules.
|
|
o Add additional "connection timeout" error message to tools to
|
|
differentiate between no IPMI communication at all vs. session
|
|
timeout in the middle of a command's operations.
|
|
o Support hysteresis and sensor event configuration in
|
|
ipmi-sensors-config.
|
|
o Support additional sensor monitoring interpretations in ipmimonitoring.
|
|

|
|
modes, such as lun, channel and event enable information.
|
|
o Support --always-prefix option in most tools for easier scripting.
|
|
o Support --sdr-cache-recreate in all SDR related tools for easier
|
|
scripting.
|
|
o Support --guid option in bmc-info to retrieve global ID (guid).
|
|
o Support "SUNBMC" in-band driver for Solaris (experimental). Please
|
|
see README.sunbmc for compilation instructions.
|
|
|
|
Tools - Enhancements/Changes/Bug Fixes
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
o Global in most tools
|
|
- Rename --no-probing option to --disable-auto-probe for consistency
|
|
in FreeIPMI. Backwards compatability maintained.
|
|
o Global in config tools (bmc-config, pef-config, ipmi-sensors-config)
|
|
- More carefully check for fatal vs. non-fatal errors when
|
|
performing configuration. This change may result in slight
|
|
behavior differences. For example, a session-timeout may have
|
|
previously been considered a non-fatal error, making the config
|
|
tools continue on attempting more configuration activities. Now,
|
|
it would error out on the first session-timeout indication.
|
|
o ipmi-sensors
|
|
- Check variety of corner cases such as whether sensor readings,
|
|
hysteresis, thresholds, etc. are even available before reading
|
|
them. Some sensors may output slightly different information than
|
|
before. For example, suppose a power supply sensor exists for a
|
|
power supply that is not installed. If the sensor is enabled on
|
|
the motherboard, ipmi-sensors would likely report "OK". If the
|
|
sensor is disabled on the motherboard, ipmi-sensors would now likely
|
|
report "NA". Previously, "OK" would have been reported under both
|
|
conditions.
|
|
- Output "NA" for sensors whose slave addresses are not the BMC.
|
|
- Output "Unknown" for sensors whose readings cannot be determined.
|
|
- Output multiple sensor status messages on separate lines, rather
|
|
than all on one line under verbose modes.
|
|
- Output "Unrecognized State" if the sensor specifies a state that is
|
|
unrecognized.
|
|
- Busy sensors are now output with "Unknown" instead of causing
|
|
errors.
|
|
- When fields are not relevant, do not output as much information in
|
|
verbose and very verbose mode. For example, don't output
|
|
hysteresis or threshold information for power supply sensors.
|
|
- Alter some output ordering for consistency to IPMI spec.
|
|
- Shorten/adjust some state strings for readability under
|
|
non-verbose output. For example, "Fully Redundant (formerly
|
|
"Redundancy Regained")" is now just "Fully Redundant".
|
|
- Change default privilege from user to operator.
|
|
o ipmimonitoring
|
|
- Support -v verbose option to output sensors readings that aren't
|
|
readable.
|
|
- Check corner case for sensor readability. May lead to slightly
|
|
different output in ipmimonitoring. For example, suppose a power
|
|
supply sensor exists for a power supply that is not installed. If
|
|
the sensor is enabled on the motherboard, ipmimonitoring would
|
|
normally report "Nominal". If the sensor is disabled on the motherboard,
|
|
ipmimonitoring would normally not output a sensor state (it would
|
|
output "N/A" under verbose mode). Previously, "Nominal" would have
|
|
been reported under both conditions.
|
|
- Consider sensors without BMC slave addresses unreadable. May
|
|
result in sensors not being output like before.
|
|
- Busy sensors may result in sensors not being output rather than
|
|
causing errors.
|
|
- Output "Unrecognized State" if the sensor specifies a state that is
|
|
unrecognized.
|
|
- Output multiple bitmask strings if multiple bits are set.
|
|
- Output "OK", similarly to ipmi-sensors when no bitmask strings are
|
|
returned from a sensor reading.
|
|
- Shorten/adjust some state strings for readability. For example,
|
|
"Fully Redundant (formerly "Redundancy Regained")" is now just
|
|
"Fully Redundant".
|
|
- Change default privilege from user to operator.
|
|
o ipmipower
|
|
- Removed many early experimental features from ipmipower so
|
|
ipmipower is more like other tools. Removed ipmi-version,
|
|
cipher-suite-id, privilege-level, and authentication-type auto
|
|
discovery. Removed ability to enable/disable a number of experimental
|
|
features.
|
|
- Changed --config to --config-file in ipmipower for consistency to
|
|
other tools. Backwards compatability maintiained.
|
|
- Replace --ipmi-version option with --driver-type. Backwards
|
|
compatability maintained.
|
|
- Removed hostname config file option. Require users to always input
|
|
atleast hostname.
|
|
- Changed primary config file to /etc/freeipmi.conf. Legacy config
|
|
file searched for and still supported.
|
|
- Prefixed config file options with 'ipmipower' for consistency to
|
|
new global FreeIPMI config file. Old options still supported.
|
|
o bmc-config
|
|
- Support configuration of UserN:Lan_Session_Limit and
|
|
UserN:Serial_Session_Limit (where N is a user id number).
|
|
- By default, do not output unsupported authentication type enables
|
|
when checking out the Lan_Conf_Auth section. Output unsupported
|
|
authentication type enables under verbose output.
|
|
- By default, do not output serial configuration parameters on checkout.
|
|
Output serial configuration under verbose output.
|
|
- Remove checkout of "Misc" section and "Power_Restore_Policy"
|
|
field, which is now handled by ipmi-chassis-config. Backwards
|
|
compatability commit and diff maintained.
|
|
- Remove case sensitivity when checking a number of fields.
|
|
o ipmi-chassis
|
|
- Alter ipmi-chassis output to print "unknown" when field is not known.
|
|
- Alter some ipmi-chassis output text to be more consistent to IPMI
|
|
spec.
|
|
- Hide configuration options now supported in ipmi-chassis-config.
|
|
o ipmi-fru
|
|
- Output FRU device names along with IDs in ipmi-fru.
|
|
- Reduce excessive newline outputs in ipmi-fru.
|
|
- Output more information by default. Change the output of verbose
|
|
vs. very verbose output.
|
|
o ipmi-sel
|
|
- Change default privilege from user to operator.
|
|
- Search of SDR records by sensor number and sensor owner id.
|
|
- Support SEL Event Record debug dumping.
|
|
o ipmiconsole
|
|
- Support --session-timeout and --retransmission-timeout options.
|
|
- Removed -C short option for consistency to other tools.
|
|
- Removed hostname config file option. Require users to always input
|
|
atleast hostname.
|
|
- Changed primary config file to /etc/freeipmi.conf. Legacy config
|
|
file searched for and still supported.
|
|
- Prefixed config file options with 'ipmiconsole' for consistency to
|
|
new global FreeIPMI config file. Old options still supported.
|
|
o bmc-watchdog
|
|
- Remove legacy 'v' option for version.
|
|
|

For Users
|
|
---------
|
|
o Add new tool ipmi-sensors-config.
|
|
o Add new tool ipmi-oem.
|
|
o Support --groups (plural) for multiple groups listing in
|
|
ipmi-sensors. Older --group (non-plural) option maintained for
|
|
backwards compatability.
|
|
o Support --list-groups and --flush in ipmimonitoring for consistency
|
|
to ipmi-sensors.
|
|
o Change --cache-dir to --sdr-cache-dir in ipmimonitoring for consistency
|
|
to ipmi-sensors.
|
|
o Change short option -f option to -n in pef-config and bmc-config for
|
|
consistency to ipmi-sensors-config. The -f option is maintained for
|
|
backwards compatability.
|
|
o Support -e (--escape-char) for alternate escape character in
|
|
ipmiconsole.
|
|
o Change --wait-until-off short option from -B to -G.
|
|
o Support -B in ipmipower for consistency to other tools, although -B
|
|
offers no purpose in ipmipower.
|
|
o Support -F in ipmipower for consistency to other tools.
|
|
o Enhanced speed of ipmi-fru, by skipping unnecessary FRU data reads.
|
|
o SSIF Inband driver will timeout after a certain period of time.
|
|
o Support additional sensor monitoring interpretations in ipmimonitoring.
|
|
o Provide more detailed error messages in config tools.
|
|
o Support shared SDR caches for ipmi-sensors, ipmi-fru, ipmi-sel,
|
|
ipmi-sensors-config, and ipmimonitoring. (libipmimonitoring will
|
|
still use a different default cache directory.) This will require a
|
|
new cache generation for these tools.
|
|
o Support driver-type options for ipmipower ipmi version option.
|
|
o Modified SDR caching output messages in ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sel,
|
|
ipmi-fru, ipmi-sensors-config and ipmimonitoring to provide more
|
|
useful information.
|
|
o In ipmi-sensors, updated SDR output under verbose and very verbose
|
|
output modes with:
|
|
o More IPMI compliant field names. For example, 'Sensor Name' has
|
|
been replaced with 'ID String'.
|
|
o More correct output. For example, 'NA' will be output instead of
|
|
'0.0' when a value is not truly available. Fields that don't exist
|
|
will not have a default output.
|
|
