Hi Fabian, What version of FreeIPMI are you using. It took me awhile to remember, but I fixed a bug for a number of Dell machines (including M610) awhile back. The key issue was in the "Get Payload Activation Status Response".
[ 4Ah] = cmd[ 8b] [ 0h] = comp_code[ 8b] [ 0h] = instance_capacity[ 4b] [ 1h] = reserved[ 4b] [ 1h] = instance_1[ 1b] [ 0h] = instance_2[ 1b] The [ 1h] = instance_1[ 1b] tells me that the motherboard still has an SOL session active. That's not a big deal. All I got to do is deactivate that session before activating a new SOL session. (Note that I do not know why your server believes another session is active. It could be another SOL session is actually going or it's a bug in the IPMI firmware.) However, what I found on Dell M610s awhile back was that ... [ 0h] = instance_capacity[ 4b] this being 0 told me (effectively) that none of the information below (most notably "instance_1") was valid. So it was never read. Looking the old NEWS file, I fixed this in FreeIPMI 1.1.2. Basically, if the instance_capacity is 0, I assume that the vendor actually means it's "1". If the vendor supports SOL, it makes no sense that it could be 0. I would be shocked if ipmitool bothers to check everything that I've said above. I wrote ipmiconsole and libipmiconsole with large cluster environments in mind, so the expectations/needs are a lot "tougher" than most people would require. Subsequently, FreeIPMI finds a lot of bugs/corner cases in vendor implementations.
