that is the error I am getting, I just installed a fresh install of the new 11.3 and import all the save settings form my old 11.2-U7.

Any help will be appressiated.

This is dealing with IPMI, some issues in the setup.

 

[Darklion]

sorry but that did't help. I got no idea what IPMI is and, what do you mean with the setup? the setup of the pools, plugings? the installation of 11.3?

those short coments don't realy help.

See the FreeNAS manual on IPMI then reconfigure your machines IPMI settings.

I've just received this same alert too.

I updated from 11.2-U7 to 11.3 just 2 days ago. I never played with IPMI in 11.2 though, so I can't say this is or isn't a new bug in 11.3.

I was trying to change the IPMI password, which I did successfully a few times, then after another change, it didn't refresh the web page and my browser eventually timed out. When I logged in again, that alert was there twice.

And now the IPMI web interface doesn't load anymore, though it does respond to ping.

I decided that before messing around with that I would perform 4 updates that where available. After that the system didn't boot anymore so now I have to re install it.

Mine magically came back to life... the IPMI web page didn't work for, I dunno, 15 minutes, then I did other work, tried again an hour later, and it was working again.

I filed a couple of tickets:

https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-105103

https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/DOCS-283

Might be good for you to vote for them, and add any useful comments.

I Just reinstall everything fresh and all my problems are gone. after the 4th fresh install I got finally working everything properly. Now I won't mess with anything else as I only wanted this for Plex and I got what I wanted. I would like to have NextCloud but it has show pretty difficult to set it up, so I am giving up on that, I don't have much time to be learning more things.
