Sun x4150, LED setting
Jaroslaw Rafa
my question is about turning on/off LED indicators by software on Sun
x4150 machine.
On SPARC machines, you could use the PICL library functions to write a
program that turns on/off any LED indicator on the machine. But this
approach doesn't work on x86 machines due to lack of PICL support for
the hardware.
There is IPMItool as the alternative, and the documentation says that
there is a command "ipmitool sunoem sbled get <led-name>" to get the LED
state and "ipmitool sunoem sbled set <led-name> <state>" to change the
state, ie. turn the LED on or off.
However, I can *get* the state of all LEDs using the above command, but
the "LOCATE" LED is the only one that could be *changed*. An attempt to
change the state of other LEDs results in a message "Sun OEM Set LED
command failed: Insufficient privilege level".
Is it possible to change the state of other LEDs, like on SPARC
machines? If yes, how?
