RHBA-2013:0492 - OpenIPMI bug fix update

Synopsis

OpenIPMI bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated OpenIPMI packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The OpenIPMI packages provide command-line tools and utilities to access platform information using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). System administrators can use OpenIPMI to manage systems and to perform system health monitoring.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The kernel ipmi_msghandler and ipmi_si modules are no longer delivered as standalone modules. As a consequence, an error occurred if these modules were used independently. With this update, the OpenIPMI init script has been modified to enable IPMI service operations on a kernel with ipmi_si and ipmi_msghandler statically compiled in the kernel. Also, the service status message now includes a new "in kernel" module state. (BZ#881450)

Users of OpenIPMI are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
