I've been having a long-standing issue with using the iDRAC on my server with OpenIndiana, and I thought before giving up completely, I could try asking the mailing list. The problem is that the iDRAC is completely inaccessible while OpenIndiana is running.
The system is a Dell PowerEdge T610, with Dell iDRAC 6 Express. If I run Linux on it, the iDRAC can be accessed just fine, and before OpenIndiana has started booting, I can access it, but with OI running it is inaccessible. The DRAC shares a physical network port with the OS, but has a separate MAC address and independent network traffic. One effect of this is that the DRAC cannot get an IP address from DHCP. Monitoring network traffic from another machine, I can see the DHCP requests going out (so I can assume outgoing traffic is okay). Running tcpdump back on the OI machine I don't see the outgoing DHCP requests, but I see the incoming replies. However, it appears the replies are not being received by the iDRAC. I am not very familiar with Solaris, and so I'm somewhat out of my element. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I could not find any record of such a problem with repeated Google searching, so I'm perplexed.
