[Freeipmi-users] ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: bad completion code (Supermicro X9DR7-LN4F, firmware 3.40)

[Werner Fischer]

Hi Al,

after an update of the IPMI firmware (from v3.15 to 3.40) on four
systems with Supermicro X9DR7-LN4F mainboard, IPMI queries with ipmi-sel
or ipmi-sensors via LAN fail with the following error:

ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: bad completion code 

We have already tried to upload the firmware again (without preserving
configuration), but this did not help.

We are using this command (ipmi.cfg has username/password):
        /usr/sbin/ipmi-sel -h [IP] --config-file /etc/ipmi/ipmi.cfg
        --driver-type=LAN_2_0 --output-event-state --interpret-oem-data
        --entity-sensor-names --sensor-types=all

We also executed the command with --debug. I've attached the output
(partially, because I'm not sure whether there may be sensitive data in
it as RAKP can be brute-force attacked).

Of course we could try to remove power down the servers and pull power
chords, and test again. But as these are production systems I'd want to
ask whether you have any idea or if there is a workaround.

PS: with firmware v3.15 we had no issues. I have tested the firmware
3.40 on another system with X9SCM-F, but I do not get any errors there.

Thanks for your help,
best regards,
Werner
