For example, this is what I see: Yes, I noticed that also, but I wasn't sure what it meant or if it actually implied something was wrong. The machine is certainly advertised as supporting IPMI 2.0 though, as you can see here: http://www.penguincomputing.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=326&Itemid=474 I've tried the ipmitool command with both "-I lan" and "-I lanplus", and both end up with the same result: Several seconds of hanging, followed by "Unable to establish LAN session". > 3.

All of the remote ipmitool commands were attempted from a different machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
