Re: [Qemu-devel] Add an IPMI device to qemu

[Noel Burton-Krahn]

OK, I've build qemu and openipmi.  I'm simulating a system where a central control node boots from USB, then uses IPMI to boot a cluster of slave nodes and provisions them by tftpboot.  If I understand correctly, I'll be running one ipmi_sim per slave node, and my control node will tell that to boot a qemu instance for each slave.  Sounds good so far?

The sample lan.conf has two sections started by set_working_mc 0x20 and set_working_mc 0x30.  Is that for configuring multiple ipmi simulators in a single config file?

Thanks a lot for all your work.

Sure, it's available on https://github.com/cminyard/qemu.git, the
stable-2.2-ipmi branch for now.

I'm currently reworking these patches based upon feedback from the qemu
maintainers.
