Hi Guys,

Are you able to reach IPMI IP from Foundation VM ?

In that case, I would suggest to restart the foundation and see if it works.
Try placing foundation VM in the same layer 2 network where you IPMI is connected in case it is not.
Make sure port IPMI command port 623, IKVM port 5900, 80 and 443 are accessible.

Ive manage to Reimage the nodes.

This slightly older box of mine with IPMI Firmware 1.87 does not communicate with Foundation 2.1.
After upgrading to 3.4 i was able to communicate with Foundation 2.1.
