Hi, up to a couple of years ago I managed such a machine, without idrac.
As far as I remember, the first BIOSes/nic firmares had serious issues with bnx. My advice is to first update the machine to latest blobs before further testing. Just download dell iso and run it.

Thanks, very interesting, and could be confirmed at least by disabling em. I dug a bit in the archives and found this thread, however about bnx, but I guess the issue remains valid: https://marc.info/?t=145145670500004&r=1&w=2 Other than asking for a dedicated BMC port or another nic, is there something I could do?
