Hi,
Under 7.0R, I've had problems with IPMI over LAN failing across reboot
on an Intel S3200SH m/b. I see the following at line 669 of if_em.c:
/* Indicate SOL/IDER usage */
if (e1000_check_reset_block(&adapter->hw))
device_printf(dev,
"PHY reset is blocked due to SOL/IDER session.\n");
Two questions:
1. Am I correct to infer that PHY reset will kill the IPMI LAN setup?
2. Does the above mean I don't have to worry about losing IPMI if I have
an established SOL session? I'm particularly concerned about getting
into single user.
I figured out how to reestablish access using ipmitool to poke the
IPMI LAN setup, but of course I can only get in to do that if the box
is up multiuser.
I'd find out the answers by experiment, but the box is in production
in a colo so it's not so easy. Thanks
