Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
In the previous ipmitool update, new options '-R' and '-N' were added to adjust retransmission rate of outgoing IPMI requests over lan and lanplus interfaces. Implementation of these options set wrong default value of retransmission timeout and outgoing request timed out prematurely. In addition, in some corner cases, ipmitool could segfault when the timeout occurred. This update fixes the default timeout value and ipmitool without '-N' option retransmits outgoing IPMI requests as in previous versions.
