Unable to connect to IPMI with gateway configured
- 10 years ago
The IPMI card on both appliances were stuffed up when they came from the factory.
A full BMC reset had to be carried out in order to get them working using the following process:
For 2.6.x appliance versions on the 5x30 appliance # /opt/PDOS/install/syscfg -rfs
For 2.6.x appliance versions on the 5x30 appliance # /opt/PDOS/install/syscfg -rbmc
# ipmitool lan set 3 ipaddr <ip address> # ipmitool lan set 3 netmask <netmask> # ipmitool lan set 3 defgw ipaddr <default gateway> # ipmitool lan set 3 access on # ipmitool user set name 3 sysadmin # ipmitool channel setaccess 3 3 callin=off ipmi=on link=on privilege=4 # ipmitool user set password 3 P@ssw0rd # ipmitool user enable 3 # ipmitool bmc reset cold
They then sprung into life.
What we also found is that the IPMI will only work on a 5230 if it is GB. If you have 100MB it will work when you first turn it on but then stops working.
