Dear Dell Experts,

we are encountering the following repeated IPMI communication errors in the system logs (dmesg output below) of our Linux server (CentOS 7, model PowerEdge R510):

ipmi_si dmi-ipmi-si.0: IPMI message handler: BMC returned incorrect response, expected netfn 7 cmd 24, got netfn 4 cmd 3d

However, remote ipmitool commands are working correctly, and we are using IPMI version 2.0.

Could you please address the following questions?

• What does the mismatch "expected netfn 7 cmd 24, got netfn 4 cmd 3d" indicate?

• Are there recommended settings (BIOS, iDRAC, IPMI) to mitigate or eliminate these errors?
