Kill IPMI stack in ILOM and ipmitool will get stucked even via KCS interface. ;) To question how to do it, how to kill IPMI stack in ILOM, I don't know. But I did, I've tried it now and ipmitool got stucked and remains stucked and IPMI stack is stopped. Funny enough, this didn't happen when SP being reset and I tried to query ILOM via KCS. Anyway, I will look at whole thing when I get back to work on Wednesday. I have caused enough confusion by guessing and don't want to cause any more.
