OpenBSD doesn't (and will not) support sharing the port with the BMC. If it's an iDRAC Enterprise you should be able to set it to use a dedicated port which is by far the easiest/safest approach. > I would like to continue to use iDrac however OpenBSD is doing something > to prevent it from being accessed once it boots. > > Is there something that I can to do tell OpenBSD to NOT configure bnx0? You can disable the bnx driver completely, but not a particular port so you'll need a non-bnx nic to use this approach (em or ix on a PCIE card might be a good choice). boot -c disable bnx quit To save it to a kernel on-disk, use config -ef /bsd and the same commands. > I am hoping this might avoid whatever is happening to the iDrac > configuration once OpenBSD launches. > > It would be great if I could keep bnx1, bnx2 and bnx3 accessible to OpenBSD. You'd need to hack the driver to do this, probably by checking the MAC address after it's fetched in bnx_attachhook() and doing a "goto bnx_attach_fail".
