This document describes about installation and configuration of IPMI simulator. | |
We need: qemu-kvm, OpenIPMI, OpenIPMI-tools | |
1) Install the qemu-kvm. We need the qemu, which have the IPMI pacthes. | |
Use the source https://github.com/cminyard/qemu/tree/stable-2.2-ipmi | |
./configure, make and make install | |
2) Download the OpenIPMI libraries, from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openipmi/ | |
Follow the process documented in lanserv/README.vm | |
./configure --prefix=/opt/openipmi/usr --sysconfdir=/opt/openipmi/etc \ | |
--with-perlinstall=/opt/openipmi/usr/lib/perl \ | |
--with-pythoninstall=/opt/openipmi/usr/lib/python | |
make and make install. | |
If you got the following errors while compiling: | |
1)/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenIPMIutils | |
export CC="gcc -lrt" and reconfigure. | |
3) Configure the IPMI siulator: | |
Create a qemu disk to use: | |
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o size=1G /opt/KVM/disk1.qcow2 | |
We need kernel images, download one from : wget http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.4/cirros-0.3.4-i386-kernel | |
edit the /opt/openipmi/etc/ipmi/lan.conf | |
change the startcmd, use the qemu compiled. | |
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -drive file=/opt/KVM/Test4sda -nographic -net nic,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:59 -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5556-10.0.2.15:22 -chardev socket,id=ipmi0,host=localhost,port=9011,reconnect=10 -device isa-ipmi,chardev=ipmi0,interface=bt,irq=5 -serial mon:tcp::9012,server,telnet,nowait | |
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -drive file=/opt/KVM/disk1.qcow2,format=qcow2 -nographic -net nic,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:59 -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-10.0.2.15:22 -chardev socket,id=ipmi0,host=localhost,port=9002,reconnect=10 -device isa-ipmi,chardev=ipmi0,interface=bt,irq=5 -serial mon:tcp::9003,server,telnet,nowait -kernel /opt/cirros-0.3.4-i386-kernel --append 'root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0,115200' | |
Serial console is configured to /dev/ttyUSB0 in the lan.conf file, Find if your serial console is configured as such (or) change. | |
I changed my serial console as | |
sol "/dev/ttyS0" 38400 history=4000 historyfru=10 | |
4) Run IPMI_SIM | |
/opt/openipmi/usr/bin/ipmi_sim | |
5) Connect to the simulator using ipmitool as below: | |
ipmitool -I lanplus -H localhost -p 9011 -U cirros power status | |
