[Cress, A. R <and...@in...>]

Is there a later BMC firmware revision beyond 0.26?

Has anyone seen this behavior before from an IPMI card.  We have 500
machines all the same, with Tyan motherboards and IPMI cards.

For some reason, we're losing are ability to IPMI the machines from the
LAN ports.  

If i run

'ipmitool chassis status' from the local machine, it works fine

If i run

'ipmitool -A none -H <hostname> chassis status', it does not work and i
get this output

ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[0], open=[4414400]
IPMI LAN host 0.0.0.0 port 623
Sending IPMI/RMCP presence ping packet
ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4414400]
  No response from remote controller
Get Auth Capabilities command failed
ipmi_lan_send_cmd:opened=[1], open=[4414400]
  No response from remote controller
Get Auth Capabilities command failed
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Failed to open LAN interface
Error sending Chassis Status command

No other output is logged to dmesg or /var/log/messages

It all worked fine, but sporadically we're losing machines.  The
machines themselves are fine, just IPMI.

We've tried 'ipmitool mc reset warm' and 'ipmitool mc reset cold',
neither correct the issue, nor am i really sure they even did anything.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks
