I have a problem with iKVM card in M1000e Chassis, we upgrade driver to version 1.0.1.1, but currently, CMC detects iKVM but it is not working, we had attempt to update the firmware from CMC Webpage and SSH (racadm) with the command "racadm fwupdate -g -u -a [OurServerTFTP] -d ikvm.bin -m kvm.
15 minutes after of update initiate CMC shows this message: iKVM firmware update aborted: Timeout.
RACADM show this information about KVM:
=============================================================================== KVM Information ===============================================================================
I would recommend to check CMC logs to see if there is any clue why the health is degraded. Else, you may need to try physical remove and install the iKVM module. I'm unsure if the CMC virtual reseat could do it.
Is CMC firmware up to date? Is iKVM still accessible?

SWU8531: Unable to update the iKVM firmware. The firmware update timeout limit is exceeded. Log Sequence Number:2098 Detailed Description: The firmware update operation is not successful, because the Update process was not completed within the firmware update timeout duration. Recommended Action: Retry the operation.
I attempted to remove and install again, but iKVM continues with the problem.
Is CMC firmware up to date?
Yes, CMC has 6.21 version.
Is iKVM still accessible?
No, the iKVM is unusable, OSCAR does not work.
There exist another method for restore firmware in this KVM or only across CMC?
Thank you very much of your help, I appreciate it.
There is a post here discussing the same issue and some steps to try, if it still fails then (if able) you may try a known good iKVM in the enclosure to see if the iKVM itself is the fault.
Let us know.
