ipmitool - can't find /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmidev/0

Solution 1:

You probably need to load the IPMI kernel modules:

modprobe ipmi_devintf
modprobe ipmi_si

You can add these to /etc/modules to have them loaded automatically (just list the module names):

ipmi_devintf
ipmi_si

Solution 2:

Do you have the devices loaded ? You can load manually the modules : modprobe ipmi_devintf ; modprobe ipmi_si and check your logs
