Hi Alan,
If possible, can you please share a screenshot of the fault?
Are you seeing any faults on CIMC or is it on the OS level only ?
Any downtime incurred due to this ?
Have you checked with the OS team on this?
Based on your problem description, i request you to check for the below two points
1. Please check if the symptoms match the ones in the below kb article. You can try the workaround https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78191
2. Ensure that your CIMC firmware, server hardware and OS are cross-compatible, to ensure no communication gaps.
