Hi All ,
Recently i have tried setup IPMI on a Proxmox 4.4 (pve-manager/4.4-1/eb2d6f1e (running kernel: 4.4.35-1-pve on a HP ProLiant DL380 G6).
But i have bumped into some issues. I am unable to initiate the communication between the Ipmi and BMC for user access/listing/lan. Also i don't see the /etc/inittab file to enable the VSP. I was able to achieve this in Proxmox 3.4. But i am able to see the sensors and list of hardwares.
Not sure why things are so diff in this version. Appreciate any help and guidance. Thanks.
