One thing to check is the power management setting in the BIOS. We set
up a few blade servers recently that had set this to "active power
controller", and this caused the server to be extremely
sluggish. Setting this to "OS Control" or "Maximum Performance" solved
the issue. Try:

  # omreport chassis pwrmanagement config=profile
  Power Profiles
  
  Maximum Performance     : Not Selected
  Active Power Controller : Not Selected
  OS Control              : Selected
  Custom                  : Not Selected

You can set the profile to max performance with:

  omconfig chassis pwrmanagement config=profile profile=maxperformance

Just a tip, but worth checking.

Can't see anything wrong with these definitions..

Good. But it's still weird that you get a timeout after 30 seconds even
when you specify a 60 sec timeout. Try running check_openmanage.exe
manually on the server with the same options and see if it then behaves
in the same way. If so there is some sort of bug in the plugin that only
affects the .exe version.
