Present Behavior: IPMI 2.0 Management Sessions - Enabled (default). Support for IPMI 2.0 client interfaces.
Future Behavior: The following IPMI Management Service changes will occur in future Oracle ILOM firmware releases after firmware version 3.2.7.
First feature change: Oracle ILOM will add a new client interface as an alternative to the IPMI 2.0 Client interface.
Second feature change: The default configuration property for IPMI 2.0 Sessions will change from Enabled to Disabled in a future release. Clients relying on IPMI 2.0 will be unable to communicate with Oracle ILOM unless the configuration property for IPMI 2.0 Sessions is manually enabled.
Third feature change: Removal of IPMI 2.0 client support. IPMI 2.0 clients will no longer be able to communicate with Oracle ILOM.
