Hi all
I'm trying to get to grips with this one, but just can't figure it
out. I recently acquired some 2nd hand Dell Poweredge 860 servers,
and noticed that they have built in remote management interfaces. So,
I have setup one, and assigned an IP address to it, but have no idea
on how to access it remotely. Google'ing for an answer didn't bring
me more than general product information about various different IPMI
stuff.
So, how do I actually access these servers remotely? If possible, I'd
like todo it via another CentOS server at the DC using SSH.
do they have teh DRAC 4/p management module? if so, you configure
that (can be done from the BIOS setup, I believe) to have an IP, then
you can access them with a web browser. this is done via the seperate
ethernet port on the DRAC card. change the default DRAC password on
first access (no, I don't recall what the default is, but if you
google for site:dell.com drac-4 documentation, I'm sure you'll find it).
if its strictly IPMI, I can't help you, I've never figured out IPMI
either.
I'm not 100% sure if there's a DRAC 4 device in. It has 2x NIC's, and I
can set the IP on the top NIC as the management IP. I haven't been able
to connect to it via a web browser though, nor can I ping it.
