1.2 IPMI - Platform Management Standard

The IPMI specifications define standardized, abstracted interfaces to the platform management subsystem. IPMI includes the definition of interfaces for extending platform management between board within the main chassis, and between multiple chassis.

The term platform management is used to refer to the monitoring and control functions that are built in to the platform hardware and primarily used for the purpose of monitoring the health of the system hardware. This typically includes monitoring elements such as system temperatures, voltages, fans, power supplies, bus errors, system physical security, etc. It includes automatic and manually driven recovery capabilities such as local or remote system resets and power on/off operations. It includes the logging of abnormal or out-of-range conditions for later examination and alerting where the platform issues the alert without aid of run-time software. Lastly it includes inventory information that can help identify a failed hardware unit.

2.2 Building the source package.

To compile the program, you must first run the configure script included with the source tar ball. It works just like any other standard GNU autoconf created script. See the more generic configure related installation instructions below.

For complete list of options, try configure --help.

Note: Please run ./autogen.sh script before ./configure, if you are compiling FreeIPMI source from CVS.

 
 # ./configure --prefix=/usr
 # make
 # make install

2.2.1 Installing under FreeBSD:

Example:

 
  tar xzvf freeipmi-0.1.3.tar.gz
  cd freeipmi-0.1.3
  env CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -largp" \
    ./configure
  gmake all
  # su to root
  gmake install
  mkdir -p /var/lib/freeipmi
  chmod 0700 /var/lib/freeipmi
  touch /var/lib/freeipmi/ipckey

2.2.1.1 Using i386_set_ioperm(2) instead of io(4) under FreeBSD:

i386_set_ioperm has known issues on FreeBSD 5.x (bus errors on io port access), so this patch uses io(4) to access io ports by default. To enable using i386_set_ioperm instead of io(4) specify USE_IOPERM copmilation option at configure time:

Example:

 
    env CFLAGS="-DUSE_IOPERM -I/usr/local/include" \
      LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -largp" \
      ./configure

3. IPMI C library (libfreeipmi)

The Core of GNU FreeIPMI system consists of LAN, KCS, SMIC system interface device drivers, all packaged in a single portable C library. Management applications can access the BMC at various levels using higher level IPMI command APIs or raw read/write interface to the driver.

Library internally uses SM BIOS and PCI drivers to locate the system interfaces.

You should note that all the device drivers are completely written in user-space. If you already have any in-kernel IPMI drivers loaded, unload them before you launch any GNU FreeIPMI utility. Otherwise there are no other prerequisites.

4. ipmi-locate IPMI device probing tool

ipmi-locate tool tries to probe and display KCS/SMIC/BT/SSIF IPMI device interface informations by using various probing techniques. The tool also displays default values of IPMI device interfaces of most commonly used in BMC manufacturers. This tool may not probe on some machines, but FreeIPMI tools work on them with default values. This behavior has been seen in Tyan motherboard with SMDC card.

5. FISH FreeIPMI SHell

Fish provides shell, extension/plug-in and scripting interface. As a shell, User has access to both in-band and out-of-band access to the host BMC through a rich set of IPMI commands.

Experienced System Administrators can quickly add features or limitlessly customize the system using the extension interface in Scheme language. For example, Pushing System Event Log data to a MySQL server, Triggering alarm upon Platform Chassis Intrusion, Generating email for critical platform events like processor temperature above threshold limit or fan failure or memory errors.... In fact, most of the functionalities and commands of this shell are themselves implemented through Fish extensions.

5.2 Setting default startup options

Fish can be customized to great extent using Scheme language interface. You should refer to guile for advanced options.

Example configuration file: `/usr/etc/fish/fish.scm'

 
;; fish.scm: default fish configuration scm

;; Customize Fish:
(fi-set-prompt! "fish# ")

;; Set driver SMS IO Base port
; (fi-set-sms-io-base! #x0CA2)

;; Set Driver Internals:
; (fi-set-default-driver-poll-interval 10)

;; Example Group Aliases
; (set! sensors-group-alias-list
;   '(
;     (mysystem . (Processor Fan "Power Supply" Current Memory Chassis))
;     (power . ("Power Supply"))
;     (security . ("Platform Chassis Intrusion Platform Security Violation"))
;     ))

5.3.2 Fish as script interpreter

To start fish as a script interpreter, you can either include script header or invoke with fish with `--script-file=SCRIPT-FILE' option.

Example fish self executable script:

 
#! /usr/sbin/fish -s
!#
(bmc-info-main (fi-command-line))
(display "bmc-info exited with [")
(display bmc-info-exit-status)
(display "] status\n")
(fi-exit bmc-info-exit-status)

5.3.3 Fish extensions

Fish extensions are like normal Scheme programming with additional built-in IPMI primitives and procedures. You should refer to guile to learn more about writing extensions.

Example fish extension: This simple extension upon loading, will dynamically add bmc-info command to the fish shell.

 
;;
;; bmc-info.scm: fish extension to get BMC information.
;;
(define (bmc-info args)
  "Show BMC information"
  (fi-kcs-get-dev-id-display))
(fi-register-command! '("bmc-info" "bmc-info\n\t- Show BMC Information."))

Example: Loading the above `bmc-info.scm' extension.

 
fish# load /root/work/fish-examples/bmc-info.scm
fish# help bmc-info
bmc-info
        Shows BMC Information.
fish#

6.3 Extracting current BMC configuration

`checkout" option generates a configuration file containing the current BMC settings. Configuration file is in plain text format with sections enclosing key-value pairs. Comments will guide you to choose appropriate values. Use your favorite editor (like GNU Emacs) to edit these fields. Comment character is `#'.

Example: Creating a BMC configuration file.

 
debian-ia64:~# bmc-config --checkout --filename=/tmp/bmc.conf

Alternatively you can redirect stdout to the configuration file too.

 
debian-ia64:~# bmc-config --checkout > /tmp/bmc.conf

[ < ] [ > ]   [ << ] [ Up ] [ >> ]         [Top] [Contents] [Index] [ ? ]

6.4 Update BMC configuration

After customizing the BMC configuration file, you can update the BMC configuration using "commit" option.

Example using configuration file:

 
debian-ia64:~# bmc-config --commit -f /tmp/bmc.conf

Example using a specific key:

 
debian-ia64:~# bmc-config --commit -k "LAN_conf:Ip_Address=192.168.1.60"

Note: At this point of time, configuration settings can only be fed through a file or key-value pairs and not stdin.


[ < ] [ > ]   [ << ] [ Up ] [ >> ]         [Top] [Contents] [Index] [ ? ]

6.5 Compare BMC configuration

To compare the differences between current active BMC settings and the configuration file, use "diff" option

Example: Comparing the configuration file and BMC settings.

 
debian-ia64:~# bmc-config --diff -f /tmp/bmc.conf
USER:Ip_Address=192.168.10.160
BMC :Ip_Address=192.168.1.60 differs
USER:Default_Gateway_Ip_Address=192.168.10.1
BMC :Default_Gateway_Ip_Address=192.168.1.1 differs
USER:Backup_Gateway_Ip_Address=192.168.10.1
BMC :Backup_Gateway_Ip_Address=192.168.1.1 differs
debian-ia64:~# bmc-config --diff -k "User2:Username=guest"
USER:Username=guest
BMC :Username=ipmiuser differs

6.6 bmc-config known issues

bmc-config checkout in out-of-band may fail to retrieve some BMC configuration options, because of default USER privilege level. For such cases, use ADMIN privilege level.

12. bmc-watchdog

bmc-watchdog is a daemon and configuration utility for BMC watchdog timer. When run as a daemon, it periodically resets the timer so that, should the system lock up, the BMC can perform an appropriate emergency recovery action.

The bmc-watchdog tool typically executes as a cronjob or daemon to manage the watchdog timer. A user must be root in order to run bmc-watchdog.

A BMC watchdog timer is part of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification and is only available to BMCs that are compliant with IPMI. When a BMC watchdog timer is started, it begins counting down to zero from some positive number of seconds. When the timer hits zero, the timer will execute a pre-configured pre-timeout interrupt and/or timeout action.

In order to stop the pre-timeout interrupt or timeout action from being generated, the watchdog timer must be periodically reset back to its initial beginning value.

The BMC watchdog timer automatically stops itself when the machine is rebooted. Therefore, when a machine is brought up, the BMC watchdog timer must be setup again before it can be used.

Typically, a BMC watchdog timer is used to automatically reset a machine that has crashed. When the operating system first starts up, the BMC timer is set to its initial countdown value. At periodic intervals, when the operating system is functioning properly, the watchdog timer can be reset by the OS or a userspace program. Thus, the timer never counts down to zero. When the system crashes, the timer cannot be reset by the OS or userspace program. Eventually, the timer will countdown to zero and reset the machine.

12.4 bmc-watchdog known issues

bmc-watchdog may fail to reset the watchdog timer if it is not scheduled properly. It is always recommended that bmc-watchdog be executed with a high scheduling priority.

On some machines, the hardware based SMI Handler may disable a processor after a watchdog timer timeout if the timer use is set to something other than SMS/OS.

13. IPMI power control utility

Remote out-of-band chassis control utility to perform power-up, power-down, power-cycle, hard-reset, pulse-diagnostics-interrupt and OS soft shutdown operations.

PowerMan http://www.llnl.gov/linux/powerman/ now supports ipmipower as a remote power control device.

Whenever a power command (`--on', `--off', `--cycle', `--reset', `--stat', `--pulse', or `--soft') is specified on the command-line, ipmipower will run in non-interactive mode. ipmipower will attempt to run the power command on all hostnames listed on the command line then exit.

If no power commands are specified on the command line, ipmipower will run in interactive mode. Interactive mode gives the user a command-line interface to enter various commands. Details of the interactive command line interface can be found under ipmipower basic options section.

13.2 ipmipower configuration file

The ipmipower configuration file can be used to set default values to ipmipower when values aren't set on the command line. This allows users to avoid typing in a long list of command line options everytime ipmipower is executed. It can also be used to hide usernames and passwords from the ps command. See Known issues with the ipmipower command for details.

By default, the configuration file is stored at `/etc/ipmipower.conf'. But users may select a different configuration file at the command line through the `--config' option.

The user can still override the configuration file values by specifying the options on the command line. The configuration file does not stop a user from specifying certain options.


[ < ] [ > ]   [ << ] [ Up ] [ >> ]         [Top] [Contents] [Index] [ ? ]

13.2.1 Configuration options

The following are a list of configuration options that can be specified in the configuration file. Each configuration option must be listed on a separate line. Arguments for an option are separated by any amount of whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by whitespace. Comments can be marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines can be continued on the next using backslash ("\").

Note that it is possible to list the username and password in the con- figuration file. If this data is stored in a configuration file, sys- tem administrators should limit access to this file.

13.3 ipmipower interactive commands

ipmipower provides the following interactive commands at the `ipmipower>' prompt. Before any power commands (`on', `off', `cycle', `reset', `stat', `pulse', or `soft') can be used, hostnames must be configured into ipmipower, either through the command prompt or the hostnames command below.


[ < ] [ > ]   [ << ] [ Up ] [ >> ]         [Top] [Contents] [Index] [ ? ]

13.4 Host ranges

As noted above, ipmipower accepts a range of hostnames in the general form: prefix[n-m,l-k,...], where n < m and l < k, etc., as an alternative to explicit comma separated lists of hosts. This form should not be confused with regular expression character classes (also denoted by []). For example, foo[19] does not represent foo1 or foo9, but rather represents a degenerate range: foo19.

This range syntax is meant only as a convenience on clusters with a prefixNN naming convention and specification of ranges should not be considered necessary - the list foo1,foo9 could be specified as such, or by the range foo[1,9].

Some examples of range usage follow:

 
        foo[01-05] instead of foo01,foo02,foo03,foo04,foo05
        foo[7,9-10] instead of foo7,foo9,foo10
        foo[0-3] instead of foo0,foo1,foo2,foo3

As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and ]) for pattern matching. Depending on your shell, it may be necessary to enclose ranged lists within quotes.

13.5 ipmipower example

Determine the power status of foo[0-2] with null username and password.

 
        ipmipower -h foo[0-2] --stat

Determine the power status of foo[0-2] with non-null username and password.

 
        ipmipower -h foo[0-2] -u foo -p bar --stat

Hard reset nodes foo[0-2] with non-null username and password.

 
        ipmipower -h foo[0-2] -u foo -p bar --reset

Hard reset the nodes configured in a configuration file.

 
        ipmipower -C /etc/powerctrl.conf --reset

Example ipmipower session:

 
debian-sid:~# ipmipower --hostnames debian-ia64 --password "rea1secret" --stat
debian-ia64: on
debian-sid:~# ipmipower --hostnames debian-ia64 --password "rea1secret" --off
debian-ia64: ok
debian-sid:~# ipmipower --hostnames debian-ia64 --password "rea1secret" --stat
debian-ia64: off
debian-sid:~# ipmipower --hostnames debian-ia64 --password "rea1secret" --on
debian-ia64: ok
debian-sid:~#

13.6 Use with powerman

The powerman device configuration file `ipmipower.dev' supplied with powerman 1.0.20 and beyond can be used to control one or more instances of ipmipower in coprocess mode.

Due to deficiencies within powerman, the power control operations `--on', `--off', `--cycle', `--reset' will be reported as successful, despite any errors that may occur. The user should use the `--query' option to ensure that all remote hosts were successfully powered on or off.

It is recommend that the `--on-if-off' option be used with ipmipower when it is used in conjunction with powerman. This will ensure ipmipower behaves similarly to other powerman devices.

13.7 Known issues with the ipmipower command

In order to prevent brute force attacks, some BMCs will lock up after a number of username, password, or privilege errors. There is no known way to cleanly deal with a locked up BMC. The best option is to simply wait awhile.

On certain operating systems, if you input your username and password on the command line, the username and password may be discovered by other users when using the ps command or looking in the `/proc' file system. The most secure solution is to enter the username and password while in interactive mode. If administrators do not wish to type in their username and password at the interactive prompt, they can be listed in a configuration file, in which the access to this file can be limited.

IPMI specifications do not require BMCs to perform a power control operation before returning a completion code to the caller. Therefore, it is possible for ipmipower power status queries to initially return information other than what you are expecting. For example, if a `power off' operation is performed, a BMC may return a successful completion-code to ipmipower before the `power off' operation is actually performed. Subsequent power status queries may return `on' for several seconds, until the BMC actually performs the `power off' operation.

16. Gratuitous ARP Daemon

"garpd" daemon broadcasts request based gratuitous ARP packets with IP and MAC Address mappings from a configuration file. GARPD is particularly useful for IPMI BMCs (mBMC) which do not support Gartuitous ARP. How ever there are other uses for GARP like IP address conflicts, IP address take over, ARP updates in a clustered environment, NIC link status updates.


[ < ] [ > ]   [ << ] [ Up ] [ >> ]         [Top] [Contents] [Index] [ ? ]

16.1 Gratuitous ARP Theory

Gratuitous ARP: Usually ARP works as follows. Host A sends out an ARP request for the hardware address of an IP address on host B. Host B sees the request and sends an ARP reply containing the hardware address for the interface with the IP address in question. Host A then records the hardware address in its ARP cache so it doesn't have to do an ARP request and wait for a reply each time it wants to send a packet. Entries in an ARP cache typically expire after about two minutes. For more information on ARP, please see RFC 826.

Request Based Gratuitous ARP: A gratuitous ARP request packet where the source and destination IP are both set to the IP of the machine issuing the packet and the destination MAC is the broadcast address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Ordinarily, no reply packet will occur. And all hosts on the LAN will refresh their ARP caches using the source hardware address of this request.

Response Based Gratuitous ARP: A gratuitous ARP reply packet without any ARP request where the ARP reply is addressed to the broadcast hardware address. All hosts on the LAN will receive the ARP reply and refresh their ARP cache accordingly.

17. Trouble-shooting

17.1 Fencing IPMI IP ports

 
Append the following to /etc/services:
# BMC IPMI/RMCP services
rmcp    623/udp         # Aux Bus Shunt (Primary RMCP Port)
rmcps   664/udp         # Secure Aux Bus (Secondary RMCP Port)

BMC internally (at hardware level) uses the above mentioned ports for sending RMCP/IPMI packets . To avoid any conflit with the BMC, Operating System should make sure no other applications or services uses these ports for communication. One easy way to do this is to start a simple daemon at the boot time that opens these ports but never uses them.

Most common victims to this issue are Remote-shell (rsh) and NIS services. You will notice "time out" errors under heavy load, when these services run over the BMC reserved ports.

Secure connections to BMC port 664 is not enabled on most BMC implementations by default.

Thanks to Anand Manian (GE Power Systems) for reporting this problem.

17.3 Non-unique IPC key

Drivers internally use the inode number of `/var/lib/freeipmi/ipckey' to obtain a system wide unique IPC key for locking and synchronization through ftok call. It is extremely rare (but possible) for more than one application to conflict with this IPC key, because ftok doesn't absolutely guarantee system wide uniqueness.

To regenerate a new system wide unique IPC key, you have to recreate `/var/lib/freeipmi/ipckey' with a new inode number.

Example: Recreating `/var/lib/freeipmi/ipckey' file.

 
debian-ia64:~# touch -f /var/lib/freeipmi/ipckey.new
debian-ia64:~# ls --inode /var/lib/freeipmi/ipckey

20.1.1 Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

  1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

    Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

  2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

    You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

  3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    1. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
    2. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
    3. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

    These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

    Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

    In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

  4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
    1. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
    2. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
    3. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

    The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

    If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

  5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
  6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
  7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
  8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

    If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

    It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

    This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

  9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
  10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

  11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
  12. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

20.1.2 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

 
one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) yyyy  name of author

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

 
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

 
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.

20.2 GNU FreeIPMI documentation license

Version 1.2, November 2002

 
Copyright © 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  1. PREAMBLE

    The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

    This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

    We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

  2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

    This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

    A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

    A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

    The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

    The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

    A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

    Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

    The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

    A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.

    The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

  3. VERBATIM COPYING

    You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

    You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

  4. COPYING IN QUANTITY

    If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

    If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

    If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

    It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

  5. MODIFICATIONS

    You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

    1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
    2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
    3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
    4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
    5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
    6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
    7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
    8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
    9. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
    10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
    11. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
    12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
    13. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
    14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
    15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

    If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

    You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

    You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

    The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

  6. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

    You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

    The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

    In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."

  7. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

    You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

    You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

  8. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

    A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

    If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

  9. TRANSLATION

    Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

    If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

  10. TERMINATION

    You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

  11. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

    The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.

    Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

20.2.1 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
