Re: [Freeipmi-users] iDRAC7 IPMI error
After playing a bit found the problem. I've created the user via ipmitool with User privilege. It looked OK from iDRAC, but something went wrong. So I switched User->Administrator privilege and back and everything is working well now. Not sure why ipmitool user creation caused this, but it looks like a bug in iDRAC firmware (?). Thanks for your help, I'll try to reproduce this with another server and submit a report to Dell. On Wed, 2018-05-02 at 16:06 +, Chu, Al wrote: > I realize I said something stupid in the last post.

Re: [Freeipmi-users] iDRAC7 IPMI error
Hi, yes, it's ipmi-sel and ipmitool sel works. For the rest I'll check tomorrow and provide info.

I realize I said something stupid in the last post. I was confusing "SDR" with "SEL" in my head. I assume this log came specifically from ipmi-sel?

Hi, I'm assuming this log is from ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sel, or ipmi-fru? For some reason, the remote system isn't recognizing/responding to the "reserve SEL" request.

Re: [Freeipmi-users] iDRAC7 IPMI error
Hi Akrus, I assume you have tried some of the workaround options, and none of them work? Could you post the --debug output from one of your connection attempts. Perhaps the iDRAC7 has changed some internal implementation that doesn't jive with FreeIPMI.
