I spoke too soon. When I applied the parameter change to the monitoring some of the old boxes went sideways.
Some machines first said "/usr/sbin/ipmimonitoring: k_g invalid " and then said "ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: BMC busy" And this locks them up from web access too.... So selective application of '-D lan20' is in order. Alastair N.
