Hi Song,
I had observed the same problem when we were testing the SOL for our
ATCA boards which uses the 82571. There were some issues in it.
I had added some retries on ipmitool side by which it works correctly,
basically it just does not come out the first time it fails so added
some retries to ensure that we wait till the IPMC stops communicating.
The problem we had was that when we do a OS reset, the OS was bringing
the NIC link down for sometime (don't know why Linux OS was doing) but
this affects the link between IPMC and the NIC to which our SOL (i.e.
IPMI over Lan) session is open, so for few seconds the link is down and
then the NIC is up again... If in the mean time if the ipmitool is
trying to communicate at that particular time it fails and assumes that
the IPMC has stopped communicating and bails out. So adding more retries
on ipmitool side helped me in getting the issue solved. I had submitted
the patch to ipmitool-devel but I guess it has not been included.
Hi All,
I had submitted few patches last month but they have not been included
in latest CVS.
Is someone actively updating the sent patch file into cvs.
Thanks
Harshad

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] Ipmitool sol activate will auto lose
connectionafter target OS reboot
Hi,
I run "ipmitool -I lanplus -H IP -U admin -P admin -v -o
intelplus sol activate" to get the SOL console to login to the remote
machine. We setup sol operation environment.
But I reboot the target machine, the sol will auto lose connection and
exit from sol. Especially, when disable network when reboot process,
then sol connetion will lost.
IPMI do not depend on OS, but in this case the SOL depend on OS
action. What's special setting I need to do to avoid it?
The target machine setting up : IPMI BMC static IP different
from host. BIOS setting: Consle redirection, Boot OS direct from disk
is prior to boot from network.
Thanks & Regards,
Song Youquan
