yes, it will for example when IPMI stack crashes, IPMI stack is disabled, connection is not available etc. It is because ipmitool doesn't have parameters for retry and timeout. However, if you search this mailing list couple weeks back, you will find patch from Harshad Prabhu which implements this feature. I think you should be safe with this patch and ipmitool shouldn't get stuck in case of IPMI gets AWOL. I'm not sure if it works for KCS interface as well, to be honest. I haven't tested it. > "ipmitool sunoem led get LOCATE" > > 2) I am executing ilom cmd in my java code and I am seeing exitCode as 1. > What is return value '1' means? > [...] I'm not familiar with Java, so I have no idea.

In ILOM(I presume you have an Oracle/Sun server): * Configuration -> System Management Access -> IPMI * change state from Enabled to Disabled resp. uncheck the checkbox and save * try to get information via LAN -> ipmitool hangs. eg. % ipmitool -I lan -U root -P mypassword -H myserver sunoem led get LOCATE ; Note, however, I was still able to query ILOM via KCS interface. So you have to use LAN interface.
