You can do all this using IPMI. The [12]950s support IPMI 2.0 so Serial
Over LAN with ipmitool is a doddle for out of band (well, nearly)
access.
The only thing that's likely to catch you out is having your OS shut
down the network interface when the OS goes down, that'll clobber your
IPMI access. You need to make sure your init scripts don't down the
interface.

Solution :
- rpm -e firefox.i386
- rpm -Uvh mozilla-1.7.12-5.i386.rpm #(taken from FC5...)
- sudo chown myuid: /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/plugins
- mozilla
And the "Console" works. But this is definitely not an acceptable
production solution, merely okay for emergencies...

all the dracs i have seen offer ctrl+something to configure them at bios
time
there are openmanage live cd's available that run centos + omsa so you
can run one of these and configure the drac that way i guess

is where google told me the omsa live cd's are
it also told me that
http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/ps1q07-20060359-Khobragade.pd
f
which seems to say ctrl+d will let you configure the DRAC and that seems
about right to me, but this maybe only on less ancient systems

Thank you Patrick. I had not done this previously, but did run this
executable late yesterday and I still can not connect.

Subject: OMSA on Debian
I have successfully installed OMSA on my Debian servers and am getting
alerts logged to syslog. I am trying to open the web based management
page in order to get to Storage Management. This is not working. I am
using http://servernameOrIP:1311 <http://servernameorip:1311/> . I have
been told both that I do need Apache installed and that I do not need
Apache installed. I have tried both ways and still unsuccessful. I
have run netstat -anon and nothing appears to be listening on port 1311.
I have ruled out firewall as an issue, I connected directly to the
switch in this environment and still no luck.
Does anyone have any insight as to what I am missing or if the web based
management utility and Storage Management work at all on Debian?
Thank you,
Mike

Hi,
Is it installed on x86_64 or ia32 ?
Cheers, Chmouel.
