SUMMARY: ipmitool / X2100 / No bmc device?

Koef suggested that upgrading the BIOS might help - but would Sun ship a
broken service processor in a computer which is intended to be monitored
with N1 management services via the IPMP interface ?
(that was a retorical question :-)

The only other suggestion was the syntax for querying an already configured
interface.  I should have made it clearer that the card is not yet
configured.

Thanks,

Orginal question...
