IPMI service fails to start in RHEL 4.7 and SLES 10 SP2.

• RHEL 4.7

• SLES 10 SP2

To start IPMI service:

1. Review the dmidecode output to determine the KCS base port address.

   For example,

    Base Address: 0x000000000000CA2 (I/O)

2. From the terminal window, type the following command, entering the base address from the previous step for <base address>.

   modprobe ipmi_si type=”kcs” ports=< base address > regspacing=”4”

3. To start the IPMI service, type the following command:

   service ipmi start

The mouse cursor disappears after running the install.sh script on SLES 10 SP2.

• SLES 10 SP2

After running the script, restart the server by using the keyboard hot keys or a command line entry from the terminal window. Once the server restarts, the mouse cursor appears.

The mouse experiences erratic movements during the SLES 10 SP2 installation.

• SLES 10 SP2

Log in to ILOM, navigate to the Remote Control --> Mouse Mode Settings tab. From the Mouse Mode drop-down list, select Relative.
