[15:06] bbl [15:14] *** SpeedBus has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [15:19] *** SpeedBus has joined #arpnetworks [15:35] lteo: negative, still up [15:35] it does appear your vps is shutdown though [15:35] i'll give it a start [15:52] probably a stupid question, but .. does anyone have a non java method for hitting the ipmi console? I note it is vnc, but I get told the security type is not handled by my vnc clients ;-( [15:52] ipmitool? [15:52] idk [15:52] does it hit the gui console? or only serial? I just installed it thinking it was only serial [16:00] toddf: you can hit the serial-over-lan with conserver [16:01] toddf: for the actual vga console, i only know of the web gui or ipmiview (both java, unfortunately) [16:01] up_the_irons: woah, now thats spiffy, is there a wiki entry somewhere? I suspect it has a couple of lines to setup my end [16:01] its vnc'ish wish some free vnc viewer would work [16:01] flipping to an amd64 system that has working java [16:02] even though the vnc stuff listens on port 5900, it is proprietary vnc and i've never seen a viewer than can use it, you need the java stuff [16:02] I'll be sure to give a shout if/when I figure out a non java capable option ;-) [16:02] supermicro ipmi really sucks [16:03] ipmi should support serial console [16:03] up_the_irons: so .. not to hit up you for details a 2nd time, but is there a wiki article on how to instrument my conserver.cf to talk to the ipmi serial console? [16:03] toddf: for conserver, here's a snippet: [16:03] it's a bitch to setup, and i dunno if we're allowed to stick extra ip's on there? [16:03] console myserver { [16:03] master localhost; [16:03] type exec; [16:03] oh heh danke! [16:03] exec /usr/local/bin/ipmitool -f /root/ipmi-passwd.txt -L USER -I lanplus -C 3 -H -U sol1 sol activate; [16:03] idletimeout 2h; [16:03] } [16:03] bitte [16:03] oh ipmi is already setup? [16:04] on every dedi, yes [16:04] cool. [16:04] now the only other thing I can ask for is if you were to put that on the ipmi wiki page for others to use ;-) [16:04] ipmi is a pita to setup :) [16:04] toddf: when you get it working, tell me your snippet and i'll make a kb article for it [16:04] mercutio: well, up_the_irons has set it up for arp metal so we can be mostly self service just like the kvm side of the house [16:05] toddf: mercutio : exactly [16:05] cool [16:05] the vnc is really slow [16:05] vnc is always slow though [16:05] up_the_irons: when I get it working? so the bit you pasted above wont work or ? [16:05] mercutio: true, if I can install this over serial I will, but I believe I at least need vga console long enough to tell it to 'set tty com0' ;-) [16:06] toddf: that's not an example taken from an arp metal server, but one of my kvm hosts. however, the idea is the same. [16:06] toddf: with the floppy for openbsd it's easy to change :) [16:06] toddf: you may have to adjust a few things, dunno [16:06] maybe can provide a floopy install image [16:06] with serial or something [16:06] i wonder how to make iso's... [16:06] its possible to create an iso image with boot.conf pointing at serial just as easily [16:07] actually... it may just work you know [16:07] if the bios outputs to serial, the bootloader should be using serial too. [16:07] ahh ok i know how to mount a floopy image, but not how to reate the cd image :) [16:07] but yeah it's probably not that hard [16:08] but yeah if the bios is using serial, i imagine the bootloader will still use bios.. and so it should work. [16:08] openbsd's bootloader tends to know serial from vga, and only does serial if boot.conf or 'boot> set tty com0' has instructed it to do so [16:08] that said i've hit issues with grub and serial console before [16:08] even if the bios does serial? [16:09] bios may be able to force it to serial but then openbsd once the kernel loads switches to vga since it thinks its not serial [16:09] yeh [16:09] but you can still type set tty com0 [16:09] on the serial [16:09] bleh, this java bits seems to want to give me an arch specific jar file (read: shared libs precompiled on specific platforms, aka openbsd need not apply) [16:09] right, if I can get that far *grin* [16:09] i gave up last time i tried using the ipmi [16:09] err java thing [16:10] and just used a windows host [16:10] yeah supermicro ipmi is bleh [16:10] for some reason my java seems to be ok with hp java but not supermicro java [16:10] "no iKVM64 in java.library.path" [16:10] well, this is a fact I've run into way back 10yrs or more ago [16:11] some "java" files actually contain os specific libs and call out to the libs in an os specific fashion, if your os wasn't prebuilt, it won't work [16:11] hp at least have ssh [16:11] and then you can do vsp/textcons [16:11] actually i imagine a lot of people use supermicro with linux [16:11] I once had to install linux to do java console for iDRAC6, but icedtea-web since took care of that requirement [16:11] you'd think there'd be enough demand for them to want to improve it [16:12] the supermicro ipmi tool thingy is pretty bad too [16:12] they've got something that can do serial console etc in windows [16:12] err and linux with java i think [16:12] yes there are linux libs [16:12] http://sprunge.us/eKUH [16:12] see the viewer.jnlp ? it downloads specific bits per arch [16:12] but you can do everythign with ipmitool [16:12] you can actually cnofigure ipmitool without using the web etc [16:12] if you have root on a server, well normally at least. [16:13] mercutio: i had to tshoot a friend's supermicro dedi recently (forgot his root password) [16:13] but it's not very user friendly [16:13] that was fun [16:13] everything, including seeing gui or are you saying you can tell the bios to force serial console from ipmitool [16:13] the latter [16:13] so boot with finnix, chroot in, passwd failed to update password [16:13] hints or 'go rtfm' ? [16:13] turns out he was out of disk space [16:13] well you can setup permissions users etc [16:13] i think the bios always outputs to serial? [16:14] actually on that note [16:14] i wonder if it's first or second serial port [16:14] oh if I can config the bios via serial console, the win [16:16] ok i'm going to try this ipmi thjing out [16:18] hah it segfaulted [16:18] Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session [16:18] i wonder if it's meant to be ipmi v2 [16:18] i thought lanplus was 1.5 [16:20] I note up_the_irons example above uses -L USER yet my ipmitool uses -U USER, wonder what -U sol1 is equivalent in my tool [16:20] i think user is USER [16:20] rather than your username? [16:21] and it's a privilege level thing [16:21] oooh [16:21] * toddf learns [16:21] taking it out and it does the same [16:21] Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session [16:21] i tried sensor too [16:21] which also didn't work [16:22] i love it how it segfaults when it has an issue thoug [16:22] mine doesn't segfault ironically [16:22] just get the same issues [16:22] oh [16:22] curious [16:23] ipmitool 1.8.11 fwiw [16:25] i have 1.8.13 [16:26] ipmitool sensor works locally [16:27] oh inside the os inside the machine or ? [16:27] yeh [16:27] so there's definitely ipmi [16:27] i can't remember how to list users :) [16:27] ohhh [16:28] user isn't sol1 [16:28] it's ipmitool user list for listing users btw [16:28] and it says it can't set to admin [16:28] got it [16:28] i took out that -L USER before :) [16:29] so yeah s/sol1/your username/ [16:29] i don't want to reboot to see if bios works [16:29] haha the java gui viewer doesn't work but the java serial console viewer does hahahahaa [16:29] ahh ok [16:30] let me see if that makes any headway [16:30] if java serial console works ipmitool should work too [16:31] i imagine up_the_irons is using sol1 on his hosts [16:31] that totally worked heh [16:32] java didn't notice when ipmitool took over serial, just stopped refreshing [16:33] heh, looks like I could setup a tftp server on one of the other kvm systems on the customer vlan and end up with a tftpboot install, sweet [16:33] now that this is working, I have to go SIGFOOD, bah, thanks mercutio ;-) [16:34] haha [16:34] my food just finished heating up [19:14] *** NiTeMaRe has joined #arpnetworks [20:15] *** lteo has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [23:08] *** jlgaddis has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [23:54] *** jlgaddis has joined #arpnetworks
