I bought the optional IPMI module for the Sun Fire X2100, but I have
some problems:

* With the IPMI module installed, the server comes to life when the
electricity is plugged, even if the server was "shutdowned", ignoring
the BIOS configuration (BIOS: maintain previous state when power comes).

* I can configure the IPMI module booting the server with the DVD. But I
can't access the module under solaris:

"""

bash-3.00# ipmitool sensor
Could not open bmc device: No such file or directory
Error obtaining SDR info
Unable to open SDR for reading

"""

In fact, there is no device "/dev/bmc".

Casper Dik suggested me to do "devfsadm -i bmc", but I got: "devfsadm:
driver failed to attach: bmc".

I'm lost.
