Goal

Lots of error messages like the following popped up on ILOM Console and also appears in /var/log/message file :


IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 35, got netfn 7 cmd 1
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 2f cmd 24, got netfn 7 cmd 35
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 1, got netfn 2f cmd 24
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 35, got netfn 7 cmd 1
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 1, got netfn 7 cmd 35
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 35, got netfn 7 cmd 1
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 1, got netfn 7 cmd 35

IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 1, got netfn 7 cmd 35
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 2f cmd 19, got netfn 7 cmd 1
IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 35, got netfn 2f cmd 19
 

Fix

The workaround is to periodically restart the ILOM to clear the error state.

There are 3 main ways to restart the ILOM:

1. Locally from the host OS, via the via the kernel IPMI device driver
# ipmitool bmc reset cold

2. From another host, via network:
# ipmitool -H gpdmcel01-ilom -U root -P bmc reset cold

3. By opening an SSH session directly to the ILOM and issuing:
> reset /SP

Upgrade of ILOM firmware to the latest version will also fix the issue.

Refer <Note 1327022.1> for updating the ILOM firmware manually.
