I'm still seeing issues with the ipmi traffic between xCAT and the
nodes:

The errors seem to happen with rvitals, rinv and reventlog commands.

This looks similar to the RCMP errors we were seeing with 2.7.X.  (The
errors messages are different, but the effect looks about the same).

This cluster was updated to 2.8.1 two days ago and had this problem
and was just updated to 2.8.2 today.  This is a cluster with ~100
nodes total with a mix of x3650 and x3850 nodes.  The problem also
happens on our dx360 M2 compute cluster.
