Well, are they on the same subnet or different?
How are they connected?
What are the networking devices sitting in between?
Ping is two-way communication: one packet goes to the target machine and the response from that machine comes back to the machine you are on. If something happens to either of the packets, ping fails. Without the minimum knowledge of your network schema, it's hard for anyone to solve such an issue.

rmcpping
RMCPING(8) System Manager Commands RMCPING(8)
NAME
rmcpping - send RMCP Ping to network hosts
SYNOPSIS
rmcpping [OPTION...] destination
DESCRIPTION
rmcpping uses the RMCP Ping request datagram to elicit an RMCP Pong response from a remote host. The utility can be used to verify if a
remote host supports RMCP or IPMI. The initial starting sequence number will be randomized. rmcpping will return 0 to the environment if
it receives atleast 1 response from the remote host. Otherwise, it exits with a value of 1.
OPTIONS
The following options are available
-h Output help menu.
-V Output version.
-c count
Stop after sending count packets.
-i interval
Wait interval seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet.
-I interface address
Set source address to specified interface address. Argument may be numeric IP address or name of device.
-t timeout
Time to wait for a response, in seconds. Default is five seconds.
-v Verbose output.
-s num Specify an initial starting sequence number. The default is to use a random initial sequence number.
-d Turn on debugging.
KNOWN ISSUES
It has been observed that some remote BMCs can get "confused" and delay packet responses if duplicate packets (with duplicate sequence num-
bers) are sent in succession very quickly. There is no known way to cleanly deal with a "confused" BMC other than the wait awhile.
Unlike ping(8), local network devicess (e.g. 127.0.0.1) cannot be "pinged".
