PSA: Java 8 Update 131 breaks ASRock's IPMI Virtual console

[Chris Moore]

They still have absolutely no clue, and now the webgui hangs on login occasionally.

I installed (yesterday) Java 8 Update 151 and it fixed the problem I was having with my Supermiro IPMI where I couldn't get he console to launch.

Thanks, I can use it with the config change, still annoyed at the incompetence though.

There's a bios/bmc update for the E3C224D2I available

15/Nov/2017 00.28.00 "Improve JAVA compatibility"

Nice to have virtual console back again

I had trouble applying the 0.35.0 BMC firmware update to a C2750D4I with Chrome. No File browser appeared. Was only able to recover by unplugging the machine, so not something to try remotely.
Worked fine with Edge.

Here is BMC v18.00 for the affected ASRock board E3C224D4I-14S. I received this from William at ASRock and it fixed this issue for me. The hardest part was finding a damn browser that would actually flash it. After trying Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Firefox, Safari & IE, Internet Explorer 11 finally was able to upload the image and flash it. Good luck!

One solution I found works, is to use the RedFish HTML console on my X11SSM-F. Then you don't have to worry about Java breaking the console. Though not all motherboards work with RedFish.

I got an BMC Update for the ASRock Rack E3C232D2I from the Asrock Support some time after this problem occured. It is still not on their website, but worked for me without any problems for months now. I hope this will help someone.

On the website is 07.07.00, in the download is 7.11.00
