Damir,

I can think of 3 troubleshooting routes:

1. Load factory defaults, boot the system to the genesis kernel (nodeset NODE 
shell) and run bmcsetup
2. Pull power from the box and plug it back in to reboot the IMM.
3. Create Bootable Media Creator thumb drive and force it to flash the IMM.

If none of that works, you might need to open a service call to replace the 
system board. Pull a DSA because they'll probably ask for it.

Subject: [xcat-user] problem with bmc programming

one of our new nodes was just provisioned and I am having an issue programming 
bmc.  we are using dedicated imm port on this 3650m4 server.  imm port is 
plugged in to a switch with single vlan.

imm interface is configured with following settings:

IP Address Source       : Static Address

IP Address              : 172.29.9.1

Subnet Mask             : 255.255.0.0

MAC Address             : 40:f2:e9:cd:bf:df

SNMP Community String   : public

Here is the picture of the actual imm settings in the uefi


i can't ping/telnet this interface at all.  tcpdump basically shows me that the 
management node is asking who has the mac address of this node.  i have logged 
in to the switch itself and this mac is not showing in the mac table on the 
switch.

other interfaces (non imm) that are configured on this server and plugged in to 
the same switch function properly and are accessible with ssh/telnet etc.

any help is appreciated.
