ipmitool / X2100 / No bmc device?

I'm trying to use the ipmitool program to configure the management interface
of a X2100 from Solaris 10

SunOS martin 5.10 Generic_Patch_118844-30 i86pc i386 i86pc

ie

# ./ipmitool -I bmc chassis status
Could not open bmc device: No such file or directory
Error sending Chassis Status command

I've seen some suggestions that the device might need creating...

# devfsadm -v -i bmc
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: bmc
exit status = 1

Having a look at the device...

# ls -las /dev/bmc
   2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Sep 19 2005 /dev/bmc ->
../devices/pseudo/bmc@0:bmc
# ls -las /devices/pseudo/bmc@0:bmc
/devices/pseudo/bmc@0:bmc: No such file or directory

It looks like there is no device for the management interface card.

Has anybody resolved a similar problem?

Thanks, I'll summarize.
