Hi, 

I couldn´t reboot my system yet but I have installed the openmanage packages:

srvadmin-omacore-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-iws-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-syscheck-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-rac5-components-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-deng-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-ipmi-5.4.0-260.DUP

srvadmin-racadm5-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-omauth-5.4.0-260.rhel5

srvadmin-hapi-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-cm-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-racdrsc5-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-omilcore-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-isvc-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-storage-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-jre-5.4.0-260

srvadmin-omhip-5.4.0-260

Now I have the command racadm but when I try to execut it I get this:

racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 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

What do I need to install/start? or until I configure the bios I can´t get this work?

Greetings

Based on my notes, here's how I configured the DRAC interface on a Dell 1950
for use as a fence device:

       Configuring the card from Linux depending on the installation of Dell's
       OMSA package. Once that's installed, use the following
commands:

               racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1
               racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSRacName HOSTNAME_FOR_INTERFACE
               racadm config -g cfgDNSDomainName DOMAINNAME_FOR_INTERFACE
               racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 2 PASSWORD
               racadm config -g cfgNicEnable 1
               racadm config -g cfgNicIpAddress WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ
               racadm config -g cfgNicNetmask WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ
               racadm config -g cfgNicGateway WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ
               racadm config -g cfgNicUseDhcp 0


       I also save a backup of the configuration with:

               racadm getconfig -f ~/drac_config


Hope this helps,

Mark
