IPMI errors
===========
When working with IPMI, several settings need to be enabled depending on vendors.
Enable IPMI over LAN
--------------------
Machines may not have IPMI access over LAN enabled by default. This could cause
the IPMI port to be unreachable through ipmitool, as shown:
.. code-block:: bash
$ipmitool -I lan -H ipmi_host -U ipmi_user -P ipmi_pass chassis power status
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
To fix this, enable `IPMI over lan` setting using your BMC tool or web app.
Troubleshooting lanplus interface
---------------------------------
When working with lanplus interfaces, you may encounter the following error:
.. code-block:: bash
$ipmitool -I lanplus -H ipmi_host -U ipmi_user -P ipmi_pass power status
Error in open session response message : insufficient resources for session
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
To fix that issue, please enable `RMCP+ Cipher Suite3 Configuration` setting
using your BMC tool or web app.
