PROBLEM:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve got several Ryzen Boxes with AsrockRack X470D4U and X470D4U2-2T Mainboards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know a lot of providers here using these exact mainboards here with their Ryzen offerrings, So maybe some help here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My problem is after updating the latest official BMC Firmware updates,
Here https:\/\/www.asrockrack.com\/general\/productdetail.asp?Model=X470D4U#Download<\/a> and Here https:\/\/www.asrockrack.com\/general\/productdetail.asp?Model=X470D4U2-2T#Download<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each and every mainboards BMC IPMI interface is now not responding to pings or accessible over LAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can send commands using ipmitool application from linux command line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no matter what I do, I can’t be able to access to BMC IPMI over LAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only info I can find from AsRock side is this thread from their forum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/forum.asrock.com\/forum_posts.asp?TID=19681&KW=X470D4U&title=asrock-x470d4u-after-update-to-bmc-03-02-00-ipmi-g\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But also this has got no official updates from AsRock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somebody mentioned https:\/\/www.asrockrack.com\/support\/faq.asp?id=40<\/a> this solution in that thread , but I also don’t have the luxury to reboot and flash old version of firmware as all these boxes are production boxes with several virtual servers on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anybody using these mainboards have any clue about what to do to regain access to BMC IPMI Web interface?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I said I can get response using IPMITOOL from command line. And everything seems to be working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please help..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOLUTION:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updates on this matter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- After tons \/ hours of brain thinkering and google searches I figure out that the most sensible way is to downgrade the bmc firmware to a “working” one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- I then needed ASPEED socflash utility v 1.2 linux version – which is very hard to get – Aspeed was providing it from their website but no more – After some google foo I found it. If anybody needs socflash utility v1.2 linux version, you are free to contact me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3- flashed old bmc firmware with socflash linux utilty<\/p>\n\n\n\n
