So, here is my configuration:
Dell PowerEdge C6100 with BMC set to dedicated. They are connected to the same network as the LAN on Proxmox. Null user has been given no access, root user has had password set to something specific and a static IP address has been assigned. The IPMI can be connected via the web interface or via SuperMicro's IPMI View 2.9.20. Proxmox 3.1 has been installed in a two cluster format. IPMItool has been installed, although I had to add repository "deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib" in order for it to find IPMItool as the default repositories didn't have it. IPMItool then failed to install correctly, I remove it and installed it again with no problem (same on both servers). Commands can now be sent to IPMI via the ipmitool command function, however, I'm having difficulty using ipmitool to verify that I have access to any ipmi resources. I have tried a number of command lines to no success. Even a simple command like:
produces
Looks like aptitude gave me m68k (unofficial port) 1.8.11-5 amd64 and the repositories that I have setup don't find the newest version, 1.8.12-1. Is there a specific repository that I should be connecting to?
The IP of the IPMI BMC is on the same subnet as the Proxmox box and it isn't on the same physical machine. So, my guess is that I have IPMItool incorrectly installed. Any suggestions?
