I'm seeing a issue here with both 1.8.8 and this ipmitool/ipmitool-1.8.8.90 build (on CENTOS 4.4). When communicating to a SuperMicro BMC connected via Intel MACs (which share the same Ethernet MAC and IP address with the OS itself), the IPMI communications are not reliable. 70% of the time things work, 30% the time, it seems the communication is reported to be garbled. This is using the non-standard Centos 3.3 Intel e1000 driver version 7.3.20 as the stock version doesn't work at all (all communications fail with that e1000 driver).
What's strange to me is that: 1. If the machine (Supermicro H8QC8 (4x Opteron 244) is not running Linux (say it's in DOS, waiting the BIOS configuration area, etc.), ipmitool works fine. It's only when Linux is loaded do these issues appear. But.. 2. If I use Supermicro's "ipmiview" or "ipmicli" tool for Windows or Linux, everything works fine regardless of the loaded OS on the machine: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/CDR-0010_2.03_for_IPMI_Server_Managment/Rev2.10_Beta/IPMI_Solution/ Thoughts? Ps. I've notice that wireshark v. IPMI decodes are rather incomplete. Does anyone have a recommended way to work with that community to get this tightened up? --David test#1 - works test#2 fails test #3 works test #4 works test #5 fails test #6 works test #7 fails test #8 works test #9 fails test #10 works 1. -- dolly-p8sci:/tmp/ipmitool-1.8.9/ipmitool-1.8.8.90/src# ./ipmitool -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -I lanplus -H tirefire mc info Device ID : 32 Device Revision : 0 Firmware Revision : 2.4 IPMI Version : 2.0 Manufacturer ID : 5593 Manufacturer Name : Unknown (0x15d9) Product ID : 4404 (0x1134) Device Available : yes Provides Device SDRs : no Additional Device Support : Sensor Device SDR Repository Device SEL Device FRU Inventory Device IPMB Event Receiver IPMB Event Generator Bridge Aux Firmware Rev Info : 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 -- 2. dolly-p8sci:/tmp/ipmitool-1.8.9/ipmitool-1.8.8.90/src# ./ipmitool -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -I lanplus -H tirefire mc info Error: Received an Unexpected Open Session Response Error: Received an Unexpected RAKP 2 message packet session id 0x0 does not match active session 0xa0a2a3a4 ipmitool: lanplus.c:1153: read_session_data_v2x: Assertion `0' failed.
