Well, I really can't say, I have never played with that board before. However, some googling shows that it may have the same Intel e1000 gigabit ethernet card I had problems with. So if you're having problems doing IPMI after a 'shutdown -h', its a good bet its the same problems I had. I can post a patch to the driver if you're interested. > b)When the Server is already ShutDown ,IPMI PowerUP > (i.e Chassis Command) is not working ,and the Same > behaviour i have seen with IPMI Tool also,i dnt > understand is it the flaw related to IPMI or BMC > If any of you ever experienced this problem and having > Solution, > any help would be appreciated. Not all machines will power off when you do a soft shutdown. In other words, its still powered on, so a power on operation won't do anything. I think you need to try a hard reset or a power cycle.
