Instructions below are specific to Sara team's OMSA.
First, install openipmi and ipmitool:
sudo apt-get install openipmi sudo apt-get install ipmitool
install lib32ncurses and ia32-libs:
sudo apt-get install -f lib32ncurses5 sudo apt-get install -f ia32-libs

You will need to download the old ia32-libs DEB file and extract the libstdc++ library.
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs_2.7ubuntu6.1_amd64.deb
dpkg-deb -x ia32-libs_2.7ubuntu6.1_amd64.deb ia32-libs
sudo cp ia32-libs/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib32/
cd /usr/lib32
sudo ln -s libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.5
