Hi all,
I have three servers with Dell remote access cards.
One of them work fine. It is running FBSD5.4, and when I log onto the
DRAC card I can acces the console fine.
The other two, I can only access the console up untill the point that
the login: prompt appears. After that, I can't.
I have the bios setting the same for all three cards, per the Dell
(DRAC) instructions.
Does anyone have experience with these and pehaps let me know what (if
any) FBSD setting to review?
Do you have any PS/2 keyboards plugged in to these servers? That will
stop DRACs working since they are a virtual USB keyboard and FreeBSD can
only handle one console keyboard and the PS/2 will override.
This is a bit of a pain, but our policy (which seems to work) is that we
never plug a keyboard in and only ever use the DRAC.
If you do need a PS/2 at some point, you can switch with kbdcontrol -
see the man page.
