That's what I thought, but comparing the two r200 systems the kernel options and loaded modules are the same: ~ # zgrep IPMI /proc/config.gz CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=m # CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT is not set CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=m CONFIG_IPMI_SI=m CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=m CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=m ~ # lsmod| grep ipmi ipmi_watchdog 15907 0 ipmi_si 39187 2 ipmi_poweroff 7769 0 ipmi_devintf 7528 0 ipmi_msghandler 29939 4 ipmi_watchdog,ipmi_si,ipmi_poweroff,ipmi_devintf One thing I did notice was that the non-working server had BMC 1.79 so I updated it to 1.83, after upgrading I ran cat /sys/devices/platform/ipmi_bmc.0000.32/firmware_revision and it still returned 1.79 so I reloaded the ipmi drivers and it now returns 1.83, do I also need to reboot the server? Is there a minimum BMC supported by OMSA 6.3? If that is the cause of the problem I can check for it and let the user know what they need to do.
