I've also noticed an unexpected difference between ipmitool in CentOS 6 and 7. The CentOS 6 ipmitool supports the IPMITOOL_OPTS environment variable but the CentOS 7 ipmitool does not. I simply copy ipmitool from a CentOS 6 to work around this limitation. - on CentOS 6 # which ipmitool /usr/bin/ipmitool # rpm -q --whatprovides `which ipmitool` ipmitool-1.8.11-29.el6_7.x86_64 # ipmitool -V ipmitool version 1.8.11 - on CentOS 7 # which ipmitool /usr/bin/ipmitool # rpm -q --whatprovides `which ipmitool` ipmitool-1.8.13-8.el7_1.x86_64 # ipmitool -V ipmitool version 1.8.13 -- View this message in context: http://centos.1050465.n5.nabble.com/CentOS-ipmitool-and-CentOS-7-tp5743237p5743470.html Sent from the CentOS mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
