or "The Brain-Death in the IPMI Specification" [1]
Sounds fun, let's try that:
[13:19:44] icarus:~$ ipmitool -H foo.ipmi.ethz.ch -U ADMIN -P
whatever-you-want chassis status
Activate Session command failed
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Error sending Chassis Status command
[13:20:08] icarus:~$ ipmitool -I lanplus -C 0 -H foo.ipmi.ethz.ch -U
ADMIN -P whatever-you-want chassis status
System Power : on
Power Overload : false
Power Interlock : inactive
Main Power Fault : false
Power Control Fault : false
Power Restore Policy : always-off
Last Power Event : command
Chassis Intrusion : inactive
Front-Panel Lockout : inactive
Drive Fault : false
Cooling/Fan Fault : false
Front Panel Control : none
Oops! Is me happy that this is on a private ip ... but wait, what about
that other server out there in the datacenter ... ;-)
