A virtualization test machine 10.162.2.87 becomes unavailable from both ipmitool or ssh.
The corresponding worker is:

not really in the scope of QE Tools but I try to help anyway.

Did ipmitool -C 3 -I lanplus -H 10.162.3.87 -U $user -P $pass power on and in a second console ipmitool -C 3 -I lanplus -H 10.162.3.87 -U $user -P $pass sol activate. After about 30s sol activate showed up firmware initialization just fine and later PXE boot menu and trying to boot from hardware shows grub menu with many valid entries. Linux boots just fine from the first option.

The above boot boots into ssh based installation and following the on-screen instructions I can actually bootup just fine. Note the parameter -C 3 on ipmitool which can help due to tightened security requirements in more recent ipmitool versions.

sorry, I don't think I can do more for you.

I will have a look further. Thanks for your help.
