Thanks for your quick response, Jarrod. Appreciate it If you looked at the output of my initial e-mail I have provided two outputs for "chassis status". One for a working server and the other for a non-working one. For the non-working one, the Authentication Type field is blank whereas for the working server the field is populated w/ different auth types and it chooses MD5. So I even tried forcing the auth type for the non-working server and still no luck. BTW, honestly I don't know the model of the IBM server. All I see is an 1RU model. Sorry about that !
*Here is the lan print output from the non-working server:
*
ipmitool> lan print
Authentication type NONE not supported
Authentication type NONE not supported
