I have a pair of brand new R410's I've been using for CARP+PFSYNC pair. I believe the LOM was disabled by default and have not tried to use it, IIRC. Been using bce0 as the outside interface with no issues and bce1 as the sync....
I'm running FreeBSD 8.2 though. I can get more details about the hardware if it would be helpful... - mdf On Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 3:10 PM, Sean Bruno <sean...@yahoo-inc.com> wrote: > On Thu, 2011-09-29 at 10:01 -0700, Sean Bruno wrote: >> We've been getting reports of odd behavior on our Dell R410 machines >> when trying to use IPMI.
