How can I have syscfg to work as intended?

[TBane]

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

[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
