Hosts lose connectivity after a platform upgrade. How do I resolve this?

Symptom

After a platform upgrade, some hosts lose connectivity with an openIPMI package version conflict error.

Cause

A third-party package installed separately on the host causes a package conflict. Installing third-party RPM packages on hosts is not recommended.

Solution

  1. Run the following command on the host to remove the third-party package:

    [root@localhost ~]# yum remove openIPMI
  2. Return to the platform UI and reconnect the host. The host resumes connectivity.
