Hi, I need tro reboot the BMC on one of our SG6060 storage nodes. In the BMC web, this isn't possible, so I guess I need to ssh into it... but i just get a "connection refused" when trying, so no even a login prompt.. is this normal?

SSH connection should be possible to the node. Did you use the address in the admin network? Maybe some SSH cipher issue?

your life will always be easier when you ssh into the admin node, su - to root and then ssh into nodes
not even sure if you can reboot the bmc on the cli, but one can do quite a few things through the generic interface for such ilo ports

yeah I finally figured it out.. you have to ssh into the admin node and from there you have to ssh to port 8022 on the grid network... then su - root in order to use the ipmi tool to reset the bmc... my god this is convoluted 😉 why not just put a button in the BMC webgui? it's not like resetting the BMC can cause any issues... strangely enough you can reset/reboot the whole server from the BMC webgui... just not the BMC it self.. very annoying if you ask me 😉

you'll have to take that up with the BMC people probably, hehe

well that's not what worked for me... I had to ssh into one of the admin nodes, and then from there I was able to ssh into the storage node and from that ssh locally to port 8022 and run the ipmitool.... not sure if any of this changes from version to version... we upgraded about a month ago to the latest version then...
