Subject: [bmc/for-next RFC 0/1] ipmi: Retry BMC 100 times
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 18:47:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625224741.3632191-1-dev@nalramli.com> (raw)
Hello ipmi / BMC experts,
We have been dealing with certain servers where the BMC firmware takes
longer than usual to become available. We have been able to work around
the problem by increasing the BMC retry counter GET_DEVICE_ID_MAX_RETRY
from 5 to 100. Would you please share some guidance on whether or not this
is a valid approach, and if it would be possible to incorporate in your
next release?
Best Regards,
Nabil S. Alramli (1):
