    Configuring the IPMI ports is a little bit different depending on the appliance you have, but the biggest thing is to go into the BIOS by hitting either F2 or DEL during the boot process (depending on your appliance) and configuring an IP address for the IPMI port.  Also, once you get the IP address setup, make sure you tell it "Send to BMC".

    Hey Mate,

     

    All Symantec appliances come with Suse 10.x

    You can use the following commands to configure IPMI from the OS level.

    The following is the procedure which works:

     

    1. Log into the appliance as root

    2. Use the following commands to configure IPMI:

    ipmitool -I open lan print

     

    /usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    /usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 defgw ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    /usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0

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

     

    Hope it helps. If it does - please mark this as the solution.
