Hi,

in my case, this error occurred with version differences between HMC and eBMC (Systems comes with FW1030 and HMC was on v10r2m1021).
Try to access the eBMC directly on the system and check the access password locally, also System Firmware Levels.

Best regards
Manfred

hello Manfred ,

   looks like the fw  is on latest MM1050, so looks good there. 

Hello,

I faced similar issue with P10 S1024 servers so i decided to upgrade the server firmware and it did solved it. Not sure if it is the same issue but it is worth to give a restart as well. I hope this is new server so it can be done quite easily ?

Hi  Rohit,

    thanks for the response.  so the firmware level is MM1050_52 what i do notice is the system  has no connection  but the VMI connection action button is grey out. not sure what's that about. 

Hi Marvin,

Is the cabling good between the server and hmc ? Please also try restarting the server and then check the VMI configuration option . It should still be active even if there is no connection status.

This series of short videos is very good if you have not already viewed them.  POWER10 EBMC Video Series - IBM MediaCenter 

HI Charlie,

   yes i seen the BMC video. Good stuff. However those do not resolved my issues. 

Hello everyone,

    That's for the help here. We had to replace the eBMC to get this machine up and running. seem like there some hardware issues here. per IBM
