Hi Al, after further testing the admin found the root cause: whenever he uploads a new firmware, he does not preserve any settings. Instead, he chooses factory defaults and sets afterwards the setting using an configuration file of bmc-config.
Now it turned out, that with firmware 3.40 setting the Lan_Privilege_Limit does not work with freeipmi 1.2.1 (setting it to "User" works without an error, but querying it afterwards shows that there is no Lan_Privilege_Limit set. Doing the same with ipmitool on the other side works. So he uses ipmitool as a workaround for that, and then everything is fine again and there is no "ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: bad completion code" error any more :-) The admin has freeipmi 1.2.1, I've just now tested it with 1.2.9 (freeipmi package of centos7). Both version do not set the Lan_Privilege_Limit. Now I've also downloaded freeipmi 1.5.2 - then it works :-) So we found out the root cause, and with the current freeipmi version there is no problem :-) I just wanted to let you know, so that you know everything is fine now ;-) Best regards and thanks again for your valuable help and support, Werner _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-users mailing list Freeipmi-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users
