Hi,
I wondered if anyone could advise on some debugging help. I've been using freeipmi, specifically ipmi-sel for a while to gather detailed info from a bunch of Intel servers. However, after a long overdue bios/bmc/firmware update session, I can no long connect with freeipmi tools and now get a password verification timeout message. This is using the same credentials that still work with ipmitool. Comparison between a non-working example and working (not yet updated) node below, including: # ./ipmi-sel -h host001-bmc -u ADMIN -p REDACTED --output-event-state --interpret-oem-data ./ipmi-sel: password verification timeout # ./ipmi-sel -h host002-bmc -u ADMIN -p REDACTED --output-event-state --interpret-oem-data ID | Date | Time | Name | Type | State | Event <prints out fine> # ipmitool -I lanplus -U ADMIN -P REDACTED -H host001-bmc sel list <prints out fine> # ipmitool -I lanplus -U ADMIN -P REDACTED -H host002-bmc sel list <prints out fine> Having read through various comments on this mailing list based on similar things, I've reviewed the output of "ipmi-config --checkout -vv" between this and another working machine, and updated a few of the settings I've noticed different that look like they could be relevant (and done an "ipmitool mc reset cold" afterwards) but no luck. I've also tried some of the workaround flags such as noauthcodecheck,intel20,nochecksumcheck but again no luck. I have struggled to get any further verbose info out of ipmi-sel, just that message. Just in case it provides I have also tried ipmiutil, which also doesn't work, providing the following output: # bin/ipmiutil sel host001-bmc -u ADMIN -p REDACTED ipmiutil sel version 3.17 ipmilan_open_session error, rv = -3 ipmilan receive from BMC failed ipmi_open error = -3 receive from BMC failed ipmiutil sel, receive from BMC failed Running ipmi-sel locally on the host in question works fine btw.... Any suggestions would be appreciated - the additional detail freeipmi gives over ipmitool is really useful!
