comet424 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 oh ok I installed ipmi figured that was the same thing from app store... thanks Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 ok so I got that installed.. getting closer I tried the command I hit enter for password since there is no password needed as root is blank but I get this error root@Tower:~# ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.8 chassis power soft Password: Error: Unable to establish LAN session Error: Unable to establish IPMI v1.5 / RMCP session root@Tower:~# Link to comment

I also installed nerdtools and the impitools on the remote computer Your remote computer has a baseboard management controller (BMC) and you have IPMI configured in the BIOS correct? What is the motherboard of the remote computer? Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 not sure what a bmc controller is and I don't think board has ipmi ill look its a MSI B450-I Gaming Plus AC motherboard Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I don't think I have any of that.. so im guessing I cant put the computer to sleep by command... guess I have to just let it goto sleep on its own of like 10 min inactivity I guessing Link to comment

A BMC is basically a computer within the computer. The BMC is always on even when the computer is completely shut down. IPMI communicates through a dedicated or shared IPMI NIC on the motherboard. The MSI board has no idea what to do with the IPMI commands as it has no BMC to process them and does not support IPMI. Link to comment

Your script can wake the remote computer, do whatever it needs to do and then put the computer to sleep when done. Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 and I guess I cant add this feature then to this board... so when I looking for another mini itx board what do I look for IPMI and BMC features? as my next motherboard I was going to use Asus STRIX B360-I GAMING but maybe gaming board not good enough then Link to comment
Hoopster Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 5 minutes ago, comet424 said: but maybe gaming board not good enough then Usually only server boards support IPMI. This is the one I am currently using in my backup server. Supermicro and ASRock Rack have a few Mini-ITX server boards that support IPMI. Asus also has a couple, but, I am not sure if they have any IPMI boards in Mini-ITX form factor. Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 ya I was able to wake the computer up at least with the etherwake 30:9C:23:DE:95:38 so that part works.. as I plan to do this over the internet but for now I least can wake up Link to comment
comet424 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 ah ok ill look those up.. only reason I chose gaming board.. as the computer store carried them and I can pick them up same day instead of ordering off amazon Link to comment
