Power failure as in the IPMI card wasn't even on standby power? Then yes. The problem had to do something with the initial "power up" of the IPMI daughter card and the IPMI card loading it's internal firmware. Sometimes it just wouldn't work. If my recollection is correct, you can determine the problem by the LED on the daughter card. Blinking LED = happy, no LED or solid LED = bad. > Anybody know whether there's a solution provided by a newer firmware? Or > is it just a design issue and cannot be fixed this way? Supermicro confirmed this was a hardware problem. We got replacement daughter cards to fix the problem.
