Hi, This seems to be an error caused by a simple sequence number issue. Enough messages from the remote service processor have gotten lost, so ipmiconsole gives up at some point. I don't know if your log output below is showing consecutive "ipmiconsole_check_outbound_sequence_number" errors, but there is atleast that one big jump from #398 to #429, indicating lots of lost messages.
You may wish to check network connections and such for errors, lost packets, etc. If you believe this to not be the case, there is atleast 1 other known situation where I know this to occur. It occurs when the server is being rebooted (or some similar to that) and the internal serial UART chip is rebooted and leads to some communication problems between it and the internal service processor, suddenly leading to huge jumps in sequence numbers. Unfortunately, there is no solution for this other than to restart.
