We have one of the Supermicro models (X8DTL-6F) here in the lab and were able to reproduce some of the issues that were reported on those platforms with on-board 82574 parts. Specifically Tx hangs that can lead to loss of connecticity. The system became much more stable after we updated the IPMI FW.
Could you please update your IPMI FW and report back with results? To get the updated FW - go to the Supermicro web page related to your sepcific system model and click on "Update Your Bios" link. Current version of IPMI for those systems is 1.29.
