Hi,
I installed syscfg from Syscfg_V14_1Build19_AllOS.zip on an Intel KNL platform. However, I get the following:
[tania@sunshine mybuild]$ sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg -i
Error: BMC Type Get failed
Here is the detail on the system:
[tania@sunshine mybuild]$ sudo dmidecode | grep -A3 '^System Information'
System Information
Manufacturer: Supermicro
Product Name: SYS-5038K-I
Version: 0123456789
The following command: sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /b /s
generates a syscfg.INI file with the following contents:
[tania@sunshine ~]$
[tania@sunshine ~]$ cat syscfg.INI
; Warning!!! Warning!!! Warning!!!

[SYSTEM]
BIOSVersion=2.0 ; This field should not be edited
FWOpcodeVersion=1.43.0 ; This field should not be edited
[BootOrder::Hard Disk]
[tania@sunshine ~]$
My intention is to change the KNL cluster and memory modes using syscfg commands, such as:
sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /bcs "" "Cluster Mode" 4
sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /bcs "" "Memory Mode" 1
How can I achieve that on my system?
Thanks,
Tania

I see that is only tested with Intel Boards.
I will recommend contacting the manufacturer of your system board (Supermicro).
For a compatible file.
