I installed RHEL 4 () on a ProLiant DL380 G5 server, and HP OpenIPMI
Device Driver for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (hp-OpenIPMI), but I could
not use ipmitool to configure LAN interface, so I tried to print
information about LAN channel, but it's seems no any LAN channel present:

......
[***@testserver~]ipmitool lan print 1
Channel 1 is not a LAN channel
[***@testserver~]ipmitool lan print 2
Channel 2 is not a LAN channel
......
[***@testserver~]ipmitool lan print 16
Channel 16 is not a LAN channel

does ProLiant DL380 G5 support configuring iLO2 LAN channel with ipmitool?

I've never used a 'ProLiant DL380 G5' - so have no idea if it supports
LAN channels.

However, I had a problem with a number of identical IBM boxes with some
not reporting a LAN channel - but after I ran:

ipmitool mc reset cold

on the these problematic boxes, I could then find the LAN channel ...

from my experience, ProLiant DL380 G5 does not support IPMI over LAN
interface, you can only query IPMI using KCS interface ( open interface
provided by OpenIPMI ), However, you can use ipmilan tool provided by
OpenIPMI to setup a LAN interface.

I don't want to use "IPMI over LAN ", just want to configure iLO2
through ipmitool (configure lan ip and users),such as:

ipmitool -I open user set name NO $name
ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr $newip
ipmitool lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr $newgw

but it's not work...
