In general, one way to get the BMC back to default behavior is to remove the power plug for about 10 seconds. It is a brute-force way of doing BMC reset, plus, unlike a BMC reset command, it doesn't get the BMC out of sync with the BIOS.

I've had to do a 'bmc reset cold' on machines that say there is no lan channel to force it to be found ... however, I can't remember if this is with IBM x3455 machines (we have a number of these) James Pearson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
