I'm trying to get ipmi working on two servers. I need to use the lan
interface, but I'm only able to get the open interface working on one of the
servers. Everything is working perfectly on the other one. Identical
machines, both using Intel S5520UR motherboards running Ubuntu 8.04. The
machine with the problem is currently using ipmitool version 1.8.11,
although I've tried every version since 1.8.8. The problem is the same
across them all. The problem I'm having with one is I am unable to set the
auth type on lan 1. Here's what happens when I try.
administra...@mail-1:~$ sudo ipmitool lan set 1 auth USER PASSWORD
LAN Parameter Data does not match! Write may have failed.
Here's lan 1:
Set in Progress : Set Complete

Everything else is acting right. I am able to set a static ip and change
it. I'm able to switch to dhcp. I can change arp settings and gateway
settings. Basically, everything except authentication. Here is what
happens when I try to send a command from a remote machine.
sudo ipmitool -I lan -H 10.228.53.123 -U username -P password power status
Authentication type NONE not supported
Authentication type NONE not supported
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
ipmi_lan_send_cmd failed to open intf
Unable to get Chassis Power Status
Here's the channel info:
sudo ipmitool channel info 1
Channel 0x1 info:
Channel Medium Type : 802.3 LAN
Channel Protocol Type : IPMB-1.0
Session Support : multi-session
Active Session Count : 0
Protocol Vendor ID : 7154
Volatile(active) Settings
Alerting : enabled
Per-message Auth : enabled
User Level Auth : enabled
Access Mode : always available
Non-Volatile Settings

Per-message Auth : enabled
User Level Auth : enabled
Access Mode : always available
I used the Intel cd on the machine that's working correctly. When I try to
use the cd on this server, I'm able to go through the setup all the way and
reboot the machine. It correctly changes any ip settings I change, but it
will not set authentication types. I was worried I had some bad hardware,
but bmc and chassis selftests both pass. The open interface works fine.
$ sudo ipmitool -I open power status
Chassis Power is on
I've been searching all over the internet, but I'm having trouble finding
information about this particular problem. Can anybody help me figure this
out?
