**************************************************************************

BmcLanFix is a LAN-based utility that can connect to a range of server IP addresses to correct the configuration issue described in AA-679-X.  The utility is run on a remote console and can connect to and repair the configuration on multiple servers.  The utility cannot be run directly on the server you are trying to repair.

This utility must be run to correct the configuration issue described in AA-679-X after a version of the SSU, SMU, or SCW that is affected with the issue is used to configure LAN access on a server.  Please refer to AA-679-X for information about how to determine if you have an affected version of SSU, SMU or SCW.

The utility accepts input parameters of either a single IP address, a subnet, or a range of IP addresses to fix.  The utility is run from a command prompt in either Windows*, Red Hat* Linux 8.0 or Red Hat* Linux 9.0.  There are no operating system requirements for the servers to be repaired.

Usage: BmcLanFix [ip | subnet | {start ip} {end ip} ]

Windows* Example:

C:\>BmcLanFix 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.105 


The above command example tests and fixes any system within the IP address range of 192.168.1.100 through 192.168.1.105.  The following is an example of the returned data from the above command:

Attempting 192.168.1.100 Update completed
Attempting 192.168.1.101 No BMC detected
Attempting 192.168.1.102 Update completed
Attempting 192.168.1.103 No update required
Attempting 192.168.1.104 No BMC detected
Attempting 192.168.1.105 No update required

The utility will return one of three possible results for each server IP address scanned.

* No BMC detected – This is returned for any system that either does not have IPMI LAN management enabled, or is not IPMI compliant.
* Update completed – This is returned if the utility detected and fixed the configuration problem.
* No update required – This is returned if the utility does not detect the configuration problem.
