You have the IPMI daemon running on boot (which is normally acceptable [on
servers equipped with iLO/BMC hardware] ).

chkconfig --list ipmi

service ipmi status

I'd start by trying to stop and then start the ipmi daemon -- maybe you'll
get additional useful information.

service ipmi stop
service ipmi start

I am not familiar with that hardware, but I expect it has an integrated
lights out (iLO) card installed in it?
[ On Dell hardware you have a baseboard management controller (BMC) instead
of iLO. ]
