Tomasz, The symptoms you describe have to do more with the FRUSDR package than with the firmware version itself. The FRUSDR is the chassis-dependent part, which would pertain to how many power supplies, disk sensors, etc. The BIOS, BMC and FRUSDR are usually bundled together in a System Update Package (SUP) for a given system.
There is an OEM SDR that shows the SDR Package version, but ipmitool does not really show OEM SDRs. You can do this: ipmitool sdr dump sdr.fil then strings sdr.fil |grep SDR will show a line like "SDR Package 18" or similar. I'm guessing that server2 had a different FRUSDR applied, and perhaps you applied a FRUSDR when you flashed back to BMC 0.62? Which SDR Package versions do you have on each server?

If Intel IPMI/BMC people are here, I'm just letting you know you have a major bug in current firmware 0.64 that makes it useless. That's a pity Intel has no efficient (hardly any) support area for such matters :| Regards, -- Tomek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
