Cannot connect from OpenManage IT Assistant to Two Servers

[Mark Baxter]

Thanks for that, the service wasn't set with startup on almost all of my
servers. That has definitely saved me some head scratching in the
future.

After doing that and rebooting yesterday one of the two offending
servers has now decided to join the others, so I am down to one server
left under "unknown". Maybe he'll decide to join after tomorrow's
scheduled discovery.

This is a shot in the dark, but...

I have had trouble on RHEL/CentOS systems where the dsm_sa_ipmi
service does not get correctly configured to start up at boot. Run
'chkconfig dsm_sa_ipmi on' and then reboot. Maybe for me this is a
hangover from earlier version installs, but up through 5.4, each
upgrade has re-broken the startup of dsm_sa_ipmi.

We are about to do fresh installs on new servers. I'll post again if
5.4 still borks the IPMI startup.
