IPMCTL version incompatible #177

Closed lcoon815 closed 3 years ago

lcoon815 commented 3 years ago

I encountered version incompatible issue. Please provide guidance on how to upgrade the IPMCTL version on my RHEL 8.4. Below is the message wheh I typed ipmctl show -dimm in the Terminal. "This version of ipmctl is incompatible with the UEFI platform firmware. Please upgrade to a newer version of ipmctl."

@lcoon815 The ipmctl package lives in the EPEL repository. The EPEL repository has ipmctl-02.00.00.3885. If you initially installed ipmctl from the EPEL repo, then update the ipmctl package with:

$ sudo dnf update ipmctl
- or -
$ sudo yum update ipmctl

If you do not have the EPEL repository enabled, how did you install ipmctl originally?

@icoon815 - How did you originally acquire ipmctl?

If from EPEL then sscargal has the correct directions.

I am guessing that error message is not indicating the true problem.

What version of ipmctl are you using? ipmctl version Can you run the same command with the -v option which prints out debugging information and post it here? ipmctl show -v -dimm
