To get things like remote management and serial over LAN working, the config has to be right on both the OS and the platform. Others have addressed the FreeBSD end; configuration of the platform is documented here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smbmcmu but you'll have to figure out which version is applicable to your box. When you have ipmitool working, the output of `ipmitool mc info' may help with that. Also, it seems like your box implements IPMI v1.5, which is rather less friendly than v2. -- Bob Bishop r...@gid.co.uk ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

[...] the ipmi kernel module allows interfacing/communicating with the 'local system', which is nice, unless the kernel went bonkers. You can - after some configuring(*) - connect from another host via something like: ipmitool -A MD5 -H remote-host-ipmi-module-ip-address -U root -I lanplus sol activate and get the remote host console, or do a power cycle: ipmitool -A MD5 -H remote-host-ipmi-module-ip-address -U root power cycle danny *: you need configure/enable the bios/drac. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

We have HP boxes here with IPMI (mostly v1.5), and by and large, there isn't much FreeBSD configuration. The set of things I do for serial over LAN are the same as for a regular serial console: 1) create /boot.config with the line -D -S115200 2) create /boot/loader.conf with the lines boot_multicons=YES comconsole_speed=115200 console=comconsole,vidconsole 3) change /etc/ttys to allow a login over the console. something similar to ttyu0 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 vt100 on secure The rest of the configuration is in the BIOS and tends to be vendor specific. Once this is configured, you can use something like ipmitool to control power (chassis power on, chassis power reset, ...) and get a serial console (sol activate).

Best wishes, Matthew I would start with installing the ipmitool port. Other may suggest freeipmi and openipmi for great justice. try poking around with sudo ipmitool shell and see if you can figure out what's going on.
