Can’t find IPMI mac address

I'm managing to do the same thing with these BMC (SuperMicro SMC-0001) on two SuperMicro servers. I didn't try to setup the console redirection yet because I ran onto a "privilege level" problem on one of the two BMC :

# ipmitool user list 1
ID  Name         Callin  Link Auth  IPMI Msg   Channel Priv Limit
1                true    false      true       NO ACCESS
2   ADMIN        true    false      true       USER
Get User Access command failed (channel 1, user 3): Parameter out of range

The user 2 (ADMIN) should have administrator privileges, but the common way to fix it doesn't work :

# ipmitool user priv 2 1 4
Set Privilege Level command failed (user 2): Request data field length limit exceeded

Then I used "tshark" and "IPMIView" on the other server to "watch" the raw command that IPMIView send when changing a user privilege. Here you go :

# ipmitool raw 0x06 0x43 90 02 04

( 02 = UserID , 04 = Administrator privilege )

You can also reset the password for this user (2)

# ipmitool user set password 2 ADMIN

And to connect from an other host you'll have to use a specific driver

# ipmitool -o supermicro -H my.ipmi.host.ip -U ADMIN -P ADMIN mc info

Voila, 'hope it helps

The following works if you are SSH'd in to the server, so assumedly it should work via the "ipmitool -I lanplus" method as well:

ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x0c 0

The results are as follows:

00 = Dedicated
01  = Shared
02  = Failover 

To change the mode, run:

(Dedicated) ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x0c 1 0 
(Shared) ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x0c 1 1
(Failover) ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x0c 1 2
