[Freeipmi-users] "BMC busy" with FreeIPMI on Intel Ice Lake Nodes

[Bautista, Devon Thomas via Freeipmi-users]

Hello,




I can successfully run power commands and activate sol via, e.g:

ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P $PWORD -H host-bmc sol activate



The output of the above ipmipower example (trimmed) is as follows:

$ ipmipower -D LAN_2_0 -h host-bmc -u admin -p $PWORD
ipmipower> debug
debugging is now on
ipmipower> stat
[...]

I have a few Intel M50CYP boards that I can get to work with ipmitool, but not FreeIPMI. However, when I run `ipmipower' or `ipmiconsole', I get "BMC busy". When I turn on debugging, e.g., and try to stat the power with `ipmipower', I get an exit code of 0x1 which, according to Table 13 of the IPMI Specification, means "Insufficient resources to create a session". This is strange, considering I can use ipmitool to start a sol session just fine. (ipmipower_check.c, ipmipower_check_rmcpplus_status_code, 713): host = host-bmc; p = 4; rmcpplus_status_code failed: 1h I have updated the board firmware and BMC firmware to the latest version provided by Intel with the same result. Is there any further troubleshooting I could perform? Let me know if you would like the full debug output.
