IPMI does not work on the X11SSH-f

[collector]

Hello, I use a Supermicro X11SSH-F, I flashed the IPMI from version "SMT_X11_139" to version "SMT_X11_111", but since impossible to connect the IPMI to the network and the web interface does not display! While checking the BIOS in the IPMI section, I noticed that the MAC address has disappeared and has been replaced by zeros "00:00:00:00:00", even the other IP addresses have disappeared.

I tried to enter the data manually (except the MAC address which doesn't change), but the network still doesn't work, impossible to access the WEB interface of the IPMI

I also tried to flash the IPMI with the tool "AlUpdate 2.08" and with the last version of the IPMI "SMT_X11_163.bin" but it didn't work, here are the commands I ran :

sudo ./AlUpdate -f SMT_X11_163.bin -i kcs -r y

sudo ./AlUpdate -f SMT_X11_163.bin -i kcs

I used the "IPMICFG_1.34.0" tool to reset the IPMI with the following command:

sudo ./IPMICFG-Linux.x86_64 -fd 2

All these attempts failed, I don't know how to make the IPMI work again.

(I know the MAC address of the IPMI, because it is marked on a sticker next to the IPMI)


I hope you can help me to solve this problem, because I really need the IPMI

Was there a reason you flashed to an older IPMI firmware, or was this a finger-fumble? Worst-case you may have to replace the motherboard entirely. You'll need Supermicro support to recover from this one.

I wanted to fix a problem with IPMI managed fans by installing an older version, and in the end I end up with another more serious problem.

If anyone has an X11SSH-F, an IPMI backup could save my motherboard!

If anyone has a solution, I'm willing to test it

When you say IPMI backup - Do you mean Save IPMI Configuration? I don't see anywhere else to make a backup.

I also have a zip file for version SMT_X11_156 that I could share if you'd like

Hello, thank you very much for your answer. It is with the AlUpdate tool that you can make a complete backup of your IPMI, this tool is available in the archive that contains the firmware of the X11SSH-F and all other SuperMicro motherboards.


But it is not necessary to make a backup for me, because I managed to make the IPMI work a few hours ago, thanks to the IPMICFG tool. Here are the commands I ran to get the IPMI working again:


Set the MAC address manually (format: ##:##:##:##:##:##:##).

sudo ./IPMICFG-Linux.x86_64 -a <MAC>

Resets IPMI to factory default values. (Clean LAN).

sudo ./IPMICFG-Linux.x86_64 -fdl

Resets IPMI to factory defaults. (Clean FRU & LAN).

sudo ./IPMICFG-Linux.x86_64 -fde

These commands allowed me to access the IPMI WEB interface

Thanks again for your help
