ipmitool Connections Very Slow On Oracle Sun Server X3 Platforms Running Oracle Solaris 10 (25550538)
This issue can be seen on Oracle Sun Server X3 series systems running Oracle Solaris 10 that do not have a version of Oracle ILOM that supports secure IPMI.
Workaround
Secure IPMI was introduced with Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4 and with Oracle ILOM 3.2.8 and later. If you have an earlier version of Oracle ILOM and see this issue, you can install Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.3.8. However, if you use ipmitool
with a version of Oracle Hardware Management Pack earlier than 2.4, the security features will not be available.
