Following commit cause this issue.
openbmc/phosphor-net-ipmid@2908695

DBUS service missing that cause IPMI command response failed.
Following function could not get exist dbus service.

solService = ipmi::getService(dbus, solInterface, solPathWitheEthName);

You could refer following file for creating DBUS service which SOL needed.

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/meta-quanta/meta-olympus-nuvoton/recipes-phosphor/settings/phosphor-settings-manager/sol-default.override.yml

It's works for me.
Hope this could fix your problem.

With the fix, we still hit sol issue, see openbmc/phosphor-net-ipmid#19 for details.
@JohnChung93 Did you meet the issue?

@leiyu-bytedance No, I only meet the issue "No response activating SOL payload" for my system.

After setting all of sol dbus related property, I did not hit any IPMI sol issue.

I modified it according to leiyu-bytedance instructions, and then I can see the bus generated under bmc, but on the host, execute bash-4.2$ ipmitool -I lanplus -C 17 -N 3 -p 623 -U root -P 0penBmc -H <BMC_IP > sol activate usesolkeepalive
Still getting Error: No response activating SOL payload, how can I troubleshoot it?
