[this message did not arrive in the list, so I am sending it again] Hello,
I would like to tell you about what happened using bmc-config on my Supermicro X8DTU-F with Winbond WPCM450 BMC. This machine has an dedicated IPMI port, but I am using a shared port to use less switch ports. At home I made the network settings in the bios. In the datacenter I had to change the IP and I used bmc-config for it to do that remote. But IPMI did not work anymore. I could ping to the IPMI IP, and I saw the webinterface on the IPMI IP, but every password was wrong. ipmiping gave a timeout. After long searching I found the problem, I had to change the setttings of Volatile_Access_Mode and Non_Volatile_Access_Mode. They where "Disabled" and after I set them to "Always_Available" and a cold-reset IPMI did work again. (I've also tried "Shared" but this gave an error). Not sure how this is possible. I did read the settings from the IPMI with: bmc-config -o > bmc-config And I've only changed the network settings. I think bmc-config did read wrong values from the bmc? When I do that now again, I get the correct values for the access modes, but now it was configured with bmc-config.
