ipmitool lan and dhcp

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to properly use ipmitool to make the IPMI
interface get their IP address over DHCP.

When I issue commands like:
ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp
ipmitool lan set 1 access on
ipmitool lan print 1

the top of the output shows:
Set in Progress         : Set In Progress

And the interface is not yet reachable from the outside.

On another machine, that had a reboot after this, it says Set Completed
instead, and the interface does work.

Is there a way to move from "Set In Progress" to "Set Completed" without
rebooting ? I couldn't find anything obvious in ipmitool.

Thanks,
Thomas
