Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, the 'ipmi' service init script did not specify full path to /sbon/lsmod and /sbin/modprobe system utilities. The init script then failed when it was executed with PATH not pointing to /sbin, for example using sudo /etc/init.d/ipmi. In this update, the init script contains full path to lsmod and modrpobe, therefore it can be executed with sudo.
