E.3.1 Startup Configuration for the IPMI Service

Configuration Update Service for SA performs startup configuration of the IPMI service to use the IPMI service when obtaining the BMC or iRMC IP address of the server.

1. Starting the IPMI service

   Execute the following command on all nodes to check the startup status of the IPMI service.

   # /sbin/service ipmi status

   Execute the following command on all nodes in which the IPMI service is not activated to start the IPMI service.

   # /sbin/service ipmi start
   Starting ipmi drivers:                                     [  OK  ]

2. Setting the run level of the IPMI service

   Check the current run level of the IPMI service on all nodes.

   # /sbin/chkconfig --list ipmi
   ipmi            0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:off   5:off   6:off

   Note

   Copy the value when the run level is set to "on." The above example shows that the run level is 3. This value is required for canceling this service and restoring the environment.

   Execute the following command on all nodes to read the IPMI service on startup.

   # /sbin/chkconfig ipmi on

   Information

   You can set "on" to run levels only that you want to activate this service. In this case, specify run levels in the range from 2 to 5.
