For the sake of anyone else who may be struggling with getting IPMI
running on the Relion, I've typed up some instructions:
http://karmak.org/2007/relion-1600-ipmi
This should work for both the Relion 1600 and 2600 (as far as I know
they're exactly the same except one is 2u).

Wow, that was it! Al

As a test, perhaps you could manually put the i
In your original email, you posted the MAC address of your eth0 NIC.
Looking in this URL, that's a Inventec MAC

Yet.. looking at Penguin Computing's page, it says:

Nope. Nothing comes back when I try to ping the card.

This is just a guess. Since you use a different IP address than the
node, maybe XXX.XXX.XXX.205 hasn't been resolved to the right MAC
address. You can check your
A few things stick out in my mind:
1. Since the MAC addresses are different for both the IPMI and eth0,
this means that, potentially, you should be able to ping the IPMI card
and get responses. Does that work?
2. When you did a "lan print 2", there weren't any Cipher suites shown
for a given
