[Freeipmi-devel] FreeIPMI 1.4.8 gets no response back from a host based on Supermicro

[Reinhard Trebbow]

Hello,

 

I am not sure whether this ist he right email address to report my case, otherwise correct me.

 

I have a problem with all FREEIPMI programs to get a connection to a specific host.

I have 3 Servers with the same Hardware (Supermicros) and with the same BCM-Firmware (3.36).

When I am on the servers, I can connect to the BMCs with ipmitool with no problem.

When I use for example ipmiconsole (or one of the other FREEIPMI-programs) from an remote host

I can connect to two server but not to the third one, I get “connection timeout”.

I can ping the IP-Address (the BMC-Address) for this Server and I can telnet to port 623 with no problem.

The problem is also existent when I install FREEIPMI on this System and use ipmiconsole locally.

 

The Systems are installed at a data center but the persons that are working there also have no idea what the problem

Is with this machine. They offered me to replace this systems but this means a lot of work after that to

Setup this system again from scratch.

My Idea is now that I am sending you here the description, maybe you have an idea.

I heard something about a checksum problem in earlier version and so I tried with

-W noauthcodecheck,nochecksumcheck but that doesn’t helped.

Following is the debug-output:

address@hidden ~]# ipmiconsole -h 148.251.21.252 -u monitor -p J2929dj94j9sm_4 -l user --debug

And it goes on until the timeout. No response data came back.

 

Thanks for reading I and your assistance.
