Hello,
I am using ESXi 7.0 u3g(UEFI) on Intel S2600WT Board.
Everything other than IPMI is working fine, and it really bugs me that IPMI feature is disabled since the driver fails to load.
The SMBIOS entry is correct, confirmed that Intel systems use 0xca2 as Base address for IPMI.
I tried searching for similar issues but there were none at all.
Default KCS policy on Intel BMC is Restricted, so I changed this setting to Allow All.
Multiple reboots didn't help.
The file vmkernel.log is attached below.
** Update
Changing boot mode to BIOS(Legacy) and reinstalling didn't help.
Also disabling MMIO over 4G did nothing.
Tried downgrading BIOS and FRU/BMC firmware sets and gradually updating to newest one but did not solve the problem.
Is Intel S2600WT(R2312WT) BMC not supported on ESXi?
I have confirmed that S2600WT and S2600WT2 are both on HCL.
