Ok now try to patch the BMC, you can actually talk to it with openipmi on local host.

I'm familiar with OpenIPMI (I use it for remote fan control a lot) but I'm not clear on what exactly you want me to try?
I really want to see someone on here with access to one of their recent boards try and report on this. I'd try it, but I sold my last Supermicro board years ago.
Try what? Updating the firmware? I do it every time a new firmware version is released.
Back around 2014-2015 supermicro had this bug that would not let you flash the main firmware. Would not happen on every machine maybe 25%. Had to derack and send a number of machines back.
