Hi, I have had a simular problem with Fedora-10, I think some kernels have a problem detecting the Drac. Anyway I found that you can enable telnet from the web interface. >From the 'command box' on the Diagnostics tab you can type the following commands, 'd3debug propget ENABLE_TELNET' - Prints if telnet is enabled 'd3debug propset ENABLE_TELNET=TRUE' - Enables telnet 'd3debug racadm racreset' - Reboots the drac. After you have enabled telnet and rebooted the drac, you should be able to telnet to the drac card. Hope this helps, Geoffrey. -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paras pradhan Sent: Thursday, 16 July 2009 6:05 AM To: linux-poweredge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux clustering Subject: DRAC 4 hi, I am using centos 5.3 in dell poweredge 1850 servers . Drac is 4/i. I am working on to create a cluster using 3 poweredge nodes and I am in need to use DRAC as fencing device. While testing fencing using fence_drac it complains me as: root@tst1 ~]# fence_drac -a 10.10.10.2 -l user -p calvin failed: telnet open failed: problem connecting to "10.10.10.2", port 23: Connection refused I tried to enable telnet using racadm but got the following error. [root@tst1 ~]# racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialSshEnable 1 ERROR: RACADM is unable to process the requested subcommand because there is no local RAC configuration to communicate with. Local RACADM subcommand execution requires the following: 1. A Remote Access Controller (RAC) must be present on the managed server 2. Appropriate managed node software must be installed and running on the server I am really stuck here. Any one having the similar problem?
