Yes, I know… Nobody does use IPMI any more… There are so many better solutions.
And yes: You are like me: You are stuck to IPMI due to various reasons but do not want to install a Windows VM for this crap?
Here’s my solution (you need to know how to use the Terminal.app):
- Download IPMIView for Linux from SuperMicro (yeah, Google’s your friend… Thomas Krenn actually also provides a download link
- Unzip/Tar it to a folder of your choice (IPMI_TAR_DIRECTORY)
brew install jenv
(you have HomeBrew installed, don’t you?)mkdir -p ~/.jenv/versions
(I have no idea why the homebrew script doesn’t do this, but…echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.jenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'eval "$(jenv init -)"' >> ~/.zshrc
(change both accordingly if you make use of bash. See jenv-Website for details)brew tap caskroom/versions; brew install java6
- open a new terminal window, to get the jenv-environment in place
jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
cd IPMI_TAR_DIRECTORY
jenv local 1.6
(that’s now part of your IPMI-Dir)cd ..; cd -
(just to re-enter the directory)java -jar IPMIView20.jar
- have fun!
I have also installed an Automator-script (just a new workflow that performs a shell script) and saved it as an application. I moved this application into my Dock and now I’m happy.
If you also want to change Automator’s script icon, I recommend the small app Image2Icon (Mac App Store).
