where can I get ipmitool for Centos 5.3?
or is that even the right tool for DELL Poweredge R300 servers?
I can connect to the BMC via impish and issue commands successfully
Cheers,
Anthony

Check dag for old stuff or the advanced search on http://rpm.pbone.net. Google returned a zillion hits so you should do some more sleuthing.

From one of my CentOS servers:
[root@repository1 ~]# lsb_release -d Description: CentOS release 5.3 (Final) [root@repository1 ~]# yum list OpenIPMI* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Available Packages OpenIPMI.i386 2.0.6-11.el5 base OpenIPMI-devel.i386 2.0.6-11.el5 base OpenIPMI-libs.i386 2.0.6-11.el5 base OpenIPMI-perl.i386 2.0.6-11.el5 base OpenIPMI-python.i386 2.0.6-11.el5 base OpenIPMI-tools.i386 2.0.6-11.el5 base [root@repository1 ~]#
so there are some IPMI packages in the base repository

Indeed. Ipmitool is provided by OpenIPMI, so you should be set.
Hint: You can always use the "yum provides" command to find if an available package provides a binary or library you are looking for. For example:
# yum provides ipmitool
-geoff

And for future reference, please direct questions like this to the CentOS mailing list and/or #centos on freenode. This is a distribution-specific question and doesn't have anything to do with cobbler.
Thanks guys,
I already had OpenIPMI installed, but I needed OpenIPMI-tools aswell
For the record " yum provides ipmitool" didn't work even after it was installed and "yum provides */ipmitool" worked only after it was installed
# yum provides ipmitool Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * epel: ga14.files.bigpond.com:4040 * base: mirror.aarnet.edu.au * updates: mirror.primusdatacentre.com.au * addons: mirror.aarnet.edu.au * extras: mirror.aarnet.edu.au Warning: 3.0.x versions of yum would erronously match against filenames. You can use "*/ipmitool" and/or "*bin/ipmitool" to get that behaviour No Matches found

Anthony
