Re: Retransmission Q

Hi,

There’s not option for that specifically at the moment.  There is a retransmission timeout option that could be tweaked to control number of retries.  Although you aren’t using a session I think the session timeout could be see to “quit early” as well.

(Not at a computer right now, so can’t verify above.  But I’m pretty sure about it.)

Subject: Retransmission Q

 

With any of the ipmi* commands (but in particular the ipmi-raw ;)) is there any way (short of modifying the source) to limit or change the number of retries?   E.g. something like -

ipmi-raw --no-session -h 192.168.0.24 0x00 0x06 0x37

Will dutifully resend it 8 times, if my count is correct… not sure what the 9th one will say if the previous 8 haven’t worked, but it’d be nice to be able to say enough is enough…?  (Heck, I might want to keep trying indefinitely, hoping the system might come back and respond.) I didn’t see any options or anything in the source, but I may have missed something.

Thanks!
