Oh, also, the startup script /lib/svc/method/svc-ipmievd looks for /dev/bmc,
that needs to be /dev/ipmi0 now.

Otherwise, you get into a confusing cycle of:

# svcadm enable svc:/network/ipmievd:default     
# svcs -a | grep ipmi                            
disabled       12:44:06 svc:/network/ipmievd:default
# svcadm enable svc:/network/ipmievd:default     
# svcs -a | grep ipmi                            
disabled       12:44:54 svc:/network/ipmievd:default

I stared at that for a couple of minutes before I thought to look at the log
;):

[ Dec  2 12:43:40 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-ipmievd
start").]
/lib/svc/method/svc-ipmievd:  No BMC device found: disabling.
[ Dec  2 12:43:40 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]
[ Dec  2 12:43:40 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Dec  2 12:43:40 Executing stop method (:kill). ]
