#49 Invalid data field request error

[Pankaj Jadhao]

Hi,
I am getting this error after polling(ipmiutil.exe sensor -c -q -N 192.168.1.71 -U <user> -P <pass>). is there any way to fix this?</pass></user>

Note- This error is not specific for any release. I tried all versions.

It appears that the firmware will not accept a lanplus connection session.
There are two possible causes that I can think of:
1) This firmware only accepts IPMI LAN 1.x and not LAN 2.0 (lanplus), which
seems unlikely but is easy to check by adding option "-Flan"
2) The IPMI LAN configuration is incorrect on that server somehow. Running
'ipmiutil lan' and 'ifconfig' (or ipconfig) locally on the 192.168.1.171
server will show all of the configuration parameters for review.

[Andy Cress]

Since this seems to be specific to that firmware, we need more information.
1) What happens if you try this with -Flan instead of -Flan2?
2) Can you get the IPMI LAN configuration from the server at 192.168.1.171? Do you know which firmware vendor it is?

[Andy Cress]

if we do not get a response with the above information by 6/30, we will assume that Pankaj resolved it via step 1 or 2 above.
