Hi Brian, I think the over-LAN and inband are two separate issues. The over-LAN is likely some configuration/networking issue. Can you atleast ipmiping the node?
As for the inband issue, it sounds very much like this issue: http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/freeipmi-faq.html#Why-am-I-seeing-so-many-_0027internal-IPMI-error_0027-or-_0027driver-busy_0027-messages_003f Al On Thu, 2016-01-07 at 19:43 -0500, Brian LaFlamme wrote: > I have a Dell C6100 blade server with 2 identical nodes, and I'm trying to > troubleshoot some odd behavior with ipmi.
