Question The BMC and java kvm console behave as expected until the system is rebooted. The process of events: 1) boot blade to OS 2) open java kvm from the BMC's web UI 3) open ssh console to OS 4) open ssh console to the BMC and run 'top' 5) command a system reboot from the SSH session to the OS 6) observe the java kvm freezing and disconnecting as a result of timeout 7) immediately attempt to reconnect java kvm - observe that the loading time is much longer than usual 8) observe the output of top freezing for several seconds in the BMC's ssh session 9) observe top resuming to refresh, with the 'exe' process at high cpu load for an additional few seconds 10) several seconds later, observe that the java kvm pops up and reconnects 11) boot continues without issue 12) BMC behaves normally until next system reboot Answer Please check if you are using the Dedicated port for IPMI. If using the shared LAN1 port, the OS shutdown might cause the shared port to turn off too and cause the disconnection. This is a limitation (no work around) for IPMI Shared LAN configurations (instead of a dedicated IPMI port) – when reboot using console redirection will render the console redirection to close session.
