BMC & IPMI problem with rx2660 servers

[Bright Emioma]

Server1-rx2660: when it is powered on, it starts the first boot process and then gives the following error prompt.
"BMC Interface to IPMi failed"
It then continues for a few seconds and comes up with the following errors:
"BMC cannot be accessed"
"One or more BMC ports failed"
"BMC token write failed during NUM write through"
"Invalid or Inaccessible system ID(s)".
After all these error prompts, the server then shuts down.

Server2-rx2660:
During power up / boot process, it gives the error bellow:
"BMC system log full"
It then continues the boot process to a level and says "System reset" and then reboots it's self. It goes on and on like that.

Please can any one give solution steps to resolve these problems?

Thanks.

Hi,

you get ""Invalid or Inaccessible system ID(s)"." so let's check the settings first.

From the MP reset the BMC:

MP:CM> rb


RB

Execution of this may result in loss of system events.

Do you want to reset the BMC? (Y/[N]): y
y
-> BMC was issued a reset.

After the selftests, please go to the EFI shell and run

Shell> info all

Shell> sysmode service
Shell> sysset
Shell> sysmode admin

and post the results.

Thanks Torsen. I'll apply your solution step.
Please also send me a softcopy of the service manual for rx2660 integrity or the URL where I can download the manual, to my email: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I await your feedback

Regards.

I have the same BMC & IMPI problems.  Errors 09, 21, 52, and 55.

I tried the outlined procedure, but nothing happened.  The BMC did not seem to reset after the RB command, and the errors still hapopened.  I also can't update the firmware because I can't boot the DVD drive.

Any ideas?
