Hi Fred:
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I am communicating to the
bad node from the good node via a cross link. I can successfully
communicate to the good node via the bad node, so I know that the
connection is functional. I can also ping successfully both ways (good <
-- > bad)
Thanks!

You can't issue the Lan based commands to the BMC of the system you are
running the command from, you must send it from a different system. The
reasoning behind this is simple. the BMC lisens on the same receive
lines as the NIC and if the local system is tranmitting the recieve
lines will NEVER hear the command. Also the switch upstream will NOT
repeat the request down the port the request came only the other
available active ports.
Issue the following command on the box in question
ipmitool -I open lan print 1
and provide what it reports please.

Error: Unable to establish LAN session
ipmi_lan_send_cmd failed to open intf

Unable to open SDR for reading

Hi,
Instead of giving peerbmc can you try with BMC IP
address. How about the command below
ipmitool -I lan -U root -H < BMC IPaddress > sdr
Thanks

Hi..
No luck, I'm still getting the same error message. I even
tried to power cycle to bmc via the mc command, to no avail.
Thanks!

Hi,
You may have to enable lan access for getting BMC values from a remote
machine. You can do the same using BMC bios or utilities like ipmitool .
Have a look into the link below
Using ipmitool u can enable lan access by the following command
/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 access on
Have a look into the link below for configuring BMC using ipmitool

Hope this helps !

Hi,
We have a BMC that won't respond to commands sent to it via
the network, but will respond to local inquiries. I've tried the basics,
(reset BMC, update FW/BIOS, check username/password for BMC), but still
no luck! Does anyone have any ideas how to debug this problem?
Thanks!
