Event ID 1004 — IPMI Driver Functionality - Windows 2012 STD
Event ID 1004 — IPMI Driver Functionality
Source: IPMIDRV
Type: Error
Description:
The IPMI device driver attempted to communicate with the IPMI BMC device during normal operation. However the communication failed due to a timeout. You can increase the timeouts associated with the IPMI device driver.
My server spec.
Dell R630 controller Perc 730P - Windows 2012 STD
- OS:: 3x 300GB 15K: Raid and 1 drive configured as a hotpsare
- Storage for VM (SQL 2014):: 7x 500GB SSD RAID 50 and 1x drive configured as a hotspare.
There is no error on System devices node and locate Microsoft Generic IPMI Compliant Device.
Please advice.
Thank you.

Could you run racadm getsysinfo and post the output so we can see if the iDRAC7 firmware is up to date please.
I have latest firmware for all servers components. Just updated 2 month ago.

Maybe you just need to increase HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
is not present in Windows 2012 R2 STD.
The registry location I found below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
Current config below:
IpmbWaitTimeoutPeriod - Value data is: 1e8480
and
CommandWaitTimeoutPeriod - Value data is: 4c4b40
Can you please let me know how I can change IpmbWaitTimeoutPeriod and CommandWaitTimeoutPeriod by 50%
Thank you

Set IpmbWaitTimeoutPeriod to 2DC620 and CommandWaitTimeoutPeriod to 7270E0 would be 50% more, use registry editor to set those values to that.
I have set to 50% and still the same same problem.
Any idea

It's probably a problem with the iDRAC driver, I'd check with Dell support to see if there's a new one that fixes the problem since they had the same problem with previous versions.
Just spoken with Dell Support and Dell just released new Firmware Version 2.21.21.21, A00 on 9 November 2015.
Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes
- In rare instances, iDRAC8 may lose connectivity with an internal memory component without generating any alert or log entry.
- This release includes fixes for security vulnerabilities that have the potential for users to be able to execute a number of iDRAC system management operations without requiring any user authentication.
- Lifecycle Controller is disabled during internal NDC communication.
- On certain 12th generation of PowerEdge servers, F1 keyboard error messages are reported.
- IPMI Serial Over LAN (SOL) issues observed on systems with iDRAC version 2.20.20.20.
- Negative CPU temperature values are reported in the OpenManage Server Administrator console.
- On Dell PowerVault MD3xxx series, incorrect hard-disk predictive failures occur from iDRAC.
- While creating virtual disks using RAID 10, the virtual disks display an incorrect size.
I will schedule maintenance next week and I will let you know the status.
Thank for support

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
