BMC issues with Poweredge 1950

[Krishnaprasad_K at Dell.com]

Hi,

 

You may have to enable lan access for getting BMC values from a remote
machine. You can do the same using BMC bios or utilities like ipmitool .
Have a look into the link below

 

Using ipmitool u can enable lan access by the following command

 

/usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 access on

 

Have a look into the link below for configuring BMC using ipmitool

Hope this helps !

Hi,

 

            We have a BMC that won't respond to commands sent to it via
the network, but will respond to local inquiries. I've tried the basics,
(reset BMC, update FW/BIOS, check username/password for BMC), but still
no luck!  Does anyone have any ideas how to debug this problem?

 

Thanks!
