IPMI Port
Hi, we have 15 appliances working fine, but on two of them, we have never managed to get the IPMI interface working. We have power cycled and used know working network switch ports and cables but still no joy. We have been told to remove the power to the appliance for 10 minutes as the IPMI can get stuck in "upgrade mode"
We have tried this to no avail. We have also learned the the IPMI function is on a small daughter card. I would think that the chances of 2 out 15 cards have blown are quite slim but my question is, has anyone had any experience of problems with these cards or is there any other "reset" we can do?
Kind Regards,
Leo.
Not sure if i am too late for you but there is also an issue with 5230's and their IPMI that can be resolved using the intel tools on board.
Try this:
You need to wait 1-2 minutes between issuing each of the two –r** switch commands
appliancename:/home/maintenance # cd /opt/
appliancename:/opt # cd Intel_tools/
appliancename:/opt/Intel_tools # ls
OFU syscfg_V11_B9 syscfg_V5.0.1_B27 sysinfo_V1 sysinfo_V11
appliancename:/opt/Intel_tools # cd syscfg_V11_B9
appliancename:/opt/Intel_tools/syscfg_V11_B9 # ls
