Hi Dmitry,
Thanks a lot for the reply. My case falls into the first case where I am
trying to connect to the local machine's BMC with Out-of-band IPMI
interface. Is this not allowed?
Thanks,
Kishore

ECONNREFUSED means ICMP unreachable was received from target system.
Most probable reasons are:
1. You are trying to communicate with the local machine's BMC trough
out-of-band (lan) IPMI interface. This will not work by design.
2. You did not configured out-of-band communication on the target
machine's BMC. You will need to do this using in-band interface (e.g
ipmitool -I open).
3. Firewall between source and target prevents communications.
wbr&w, dmitry.
