Hi!
I have two SuperMicro servers in a lab environment, and am trying to get the IPMI credentials configured. Both work, and are running ESXi, and I can connect using the SuperMicro-supplied IPMI tool (IPMIView). I can also use the ipmiutil command-line tool to obtain data from both servers. However, I can add one's IPMI credentials in to vCenter, but not the second. All of the settings appear to be identical (except the IP address and MAC, obviously).
When I attempt to add the other host, I get the following dialog:
Connection Error
The request failed because the remote server 'nsivcenter' took too long to respond. (The command has timed out as the remote server is taking too long to respond.)
Error Stack:
Call "HostSystem.UpdateIpmi" for object "nsivm1" on vCenter Server "nsivcenter" failed.
Additionally, in the log area, I get the message "A specified parameter was not correct"
Lastly, I have the following entries in vpxd.log on the vCenter host:

I guarantee I have the MAC address, IP address, and username/password entered correctly.
Might anyone know why this is not working?
Thanks in advance!
