How would I access it if it were available?
You have to configure it first, how you do that depends, sometimes you can configure it via openipmi.
I just installed the OpenIPMI-tools package with yum yesterday on a Supermicro box that seems to be having overheating or fan problems. This is my first time looking into IPMI monitoring, but looking at the contents of the OpenIPMI-tools rpm package, it seems to be missing some of the configuration files necessary to run things like the ipmievd daemon (e.g. no /etc/init.d/ipmievd script, only /usr/share/ipmitool/ipmievd.init.redhat
Yes, ipmievd is lacking a proper init.d script and if you want to run it the file you found above is probably the way to go (copy it to /etc/init.d/..., chkconfig, etc.).
But evd is not needed to talk to the IPMI-controller/BMC/service-processor/whatever. To talk locally the only thing needed is to start the ipmi service (init.d-file from the OpenIPMI package) and then, for example, "ipmitool sel list".

, and the so sample of the /etc/sysconfig/ipmievd file).
Any suggestions on documentation covering configuration on CentOS systems? I have no problems with RTFM, if only I know where to find TFM.
