I have to setup ipmitool on my local vm for testing and learning purposes. I followed simple steps of mentioned in the link, https://www.hugeserver.com/blog/tutorials/how-to-ipmitool-linux/
The first command will install ipmitool and the second command will install ipmi device drivers/interfaces.
After installing these two things I should be ready to use ipmitool. But I am getting errors whenever I try to run any ipmitool command.
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
I am stuck here. I have also tried to re-install OpenIpmi and also rebooted the system. Please help!
If this error comes in actual machine then the following post will give you the solution.

But In virtual machine, ipmitool commands will work straight away without these drivers. I faced same issue & worked for me without installing any drivers on my VirtualBox.
