Yes there is an IPMI card on these boards. I'm not sure if they use I2C but I think that would make sense. We are not actively querying values via the IPMI card, however it does it by itself. > > I would still need to know how often this problem actually happens. It seems bursty, e.g. like many times within a second and then its silent for some time, e.g. one node has this disribution: n0047:~# dmesg | egrep '(i801_smbus|w83793)' | cut -d. -f 1 | \ tr -d '[' | sort -n | uniq -c 1 8 1 25241 1 26501 1 53262 1 123160 1 132928 196 137025 1 144900 1 156875 1 198766 1 229545 1 266396 1 280566 1 285294 1 286873 1 298844 1 312390 1 318375 1 337578 12 367501 1 380728 1 422294 1 433634 1 444343 second column shows seconds since last boot. Does this help, or shall I do it on every node and think about a way to show this in 2d? Cheers Carsten
