Firmware Rev 2.80.03
I have an r910 with an iDRAC6 enterprises adapter connected, to which I am unable to connect in either dedicated or shared modes. USBs and NIC1 works as expected for host. Re-seating the card did not help.
Attempt 1:
The router is configured to bind the assigned dedicated static IP to the MAC of the iDRAC.
iDRAC LAN Parameters:
NIC Selection: dedicated
Active LOM: No Active LOM
Results:
Shell access to host via NIC1: OK
iDRAC: no active LOM, no TLS/HTTPS access
Attempt 2: shared NIC1
Previous MAC-to-static-IP address binding was removed from router.
NIC Selection: shared
Active LOM: LOM1
IP address: set to static IP address of host.
Results:
Shell access to host: OK
iDRAC: no TLS/HTTPS access
Attempt 3: No router
I cabled my laptop NIC directly to the server's shared NIC1.
Results:
Shell access to host: OK
racadm: "ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address."
Attempt 4: Host-to-iDRAC using racadm:
Result:
racadm: "ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address."
Attempt 5: Broadcom's uxdiag utility
The references below indicate some success using "uxdiag -t abcd -mfw 1" via boot-disk to activate the potentially disabled management controller:
