ipmi

So, I ran into this tonight with a new X11SPL. Apparently in November 2019 Supermicro started programming in unique passwords for IPMI access. It's no longer ADMIN/ADMIN. The username is still ADMIN, but the password is printed on a sticker on the board. BMC Unique Password Security Feature...

Hi, I just built a system with a 7282 and an Asrock Rack EPYCD8-2T. It seems to be rock solid with Lubuntu 18.04 but here are a couple of question I really hope you could answer since I'm driven crazy with them. 1. OS-independent: I just cannot manage to have the IPMI working over the...

I am using IPMI Viewer 20 to connect to SuperMicro X9DRi-F motherboard. Everything works great except the color of the kvm console is distorted. Everything seems tainted with green. As you can see from the attached screenshot. How can I address this issue? Thanks

Hello, I just found an old post on reddit about IPMI and iKVM "no signal" issue after boot sequence: No video output (VGA & IPMI KVM) after boot : homelab I have the exact (at least similar) same issue, but some times it works... e.g: not working when boot up the server, but many days after...

I've been thinking of getting X11SBA-F for to replace my aging operator machine, but it must be hooked to a monitor 24/7, and at the same time i want IPMI IKVM to be active as well. Otherwise, i'd rather get consumer motherboard without IPMI. Problem is, my previous experience with X11SCA-F...

Hi, I have a Supermicro H11DSi-NT motherboard that I am using for a dual boot (Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10) workstation. I am trying to lower the fan speed. I successfully lowered the fan speed on Ubuntu 18.04 using the excellent reference put together by PigLover...

Hi there, I just bought a Supermicro X11SDV-4C-TP8F, and I really like it. The active cooler I bought from Supermicro is extremely noisy, though, and I wanted to have it a bit quieter. I read lots of blog posts about setting up the upper and lower threshold of the fan speed via impitools, as...

Hi all, I have a Supermicro X11SSi-LN4F motherboard that's running great as a FreeNAS server, including plex and zoneminder in jails. I'm considering a CPU upgrade from Skylake e3 to a Kaby Lake e3-1245 version to get HW decoding and transcoding for Zoneminder and Plex. I've found a couple of...

Hey everyone, This isn't your usual "holy cow the C6100 is noisy!" question. My Intel (Tyan XS23-TY3) C6100 (after its initial jet engine startup) is actually rather quiet, likely because I am not pushing it too hard very often. I'm only running 2/4 blades as well, and they're located in the...

Hello all, Frequent lurker here. I think first time posting. Gradually putting together a larger post with my complete build, however I have a couple of loose ends. I’ve reviewed some of the threads on the CB3 but some info I haven’t found or I haven’t seen a direct comparison in my use case...

Hi guys, I'm having issues setting fan speeds on a 4027GR-TR Supermicro system. System has 8 fans for both CPU/GPU/chassis cooling, and are controlled via the IPMI. I've followed this guide from PigLover but it doesn't seem to work with this system...

I've put together a Linux/KVM system based around an X10SRL-F motherboard, and I'm stumped on what I can only describe as "extremely slow or sluggish video". What I mean by this is that when the system boots, the console messages that appear on the screen scroll excruciatingly slowly, and this...

Here's a subject that I'm only obliquely exposed to at work, that seems to be in major discussion in light of recent events (i.e. Bloomberg Businessweek Supermicro story). I'm in the slow process of redoing my home lab, mostly downsizing/consolidating to fewer systems. Currently I manage each...

Hi everyone, So it turns out that after a wrong manipulation during a BIOS flashing my motherboard (supermicro H11 SSL ) hangs with the B2 status (legacy oprom initialization). I have tried almost everything to recover a working BIOS (flash with USB, CMOS clearing, ...), but nothing worked...

Hi, I got few Gigabyte ga-7peslx motherboard. I'd like to lower the fan speed (actually running stock fan of supermicro CSE-825 at 6000 RPM, pretty loud). I try the ipmitool raw commands of supermicro board, but it don't work's : root@hv1:/home/alex# ipmitool raw 0x30 0x45 0x00 Unable to...

Hello, I have a X11SAT-F motherboard with IPMI support running linux under EFI mode. I want to use SOL for the remote server. I appended the kernel command line to the following, linux /@/vmlinuz-4.9.95-gentoo root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/gentoo ro spl.spl_hostid=0xa8c06f01 console=tty0...

Hello. Please tell me the cheapest solution of "KVM-over-LAN". Maybe its lowcost microATX motherboard with built-in chip ipmi or... pci-card?

I got tired of the noise with my SuperMicro X10 Server (4027GR-TRT), but didn't want to get into involved hardware fan swaps which still may produce unsatisfactory results. For reference, the "Optimal" fan setting decided to run half of the fans at 8000RPM at idle, and the other half at 5000RPM...

I have a S7012GM4NR with a BMC failure problem. I find that unless I cool the area around the AST2050 chip, the baseboard management controller(BMC) function stops. And by stop I mean, the flashing green LED goes out, IPMI is no longer accessible via the LAN or locally, and the VGA screen...

Hi All, I've been doing a bit of reading on how to use impitool to adjust the fan thresholds on my motherboard, to prevent the spin up/down issue that some people have previously reported. The basic steps I took were as per Decrease Supermicro IPMI Fan Threshold This MB has 5 headers, FAN 1...
