PowerEdge r.620 - grateful to network interface "default" (iDRAC vs NIC)

Hi all

I'm a tech network new-to-the-industry assigned to a r.620 server in a test environment. I'm working on a project for PlanetLab , and I'm trying to figure out how to put this server online. I understand that it sounds like a question for the Support of PL, but we were confused and at this time, I try to get help or ideas, I can try, in addition to working with the support of PL.

As part of the installation, I have a bootable CD with a custom Linux kernel. When it is started from the CD, the server must initialize the network connections and then contact the central servers of PL and install things. However, I never managed to cross the network initialization.

The server has a license of the company. I assigned a public IP address to the iDRAC port, and nothing is connected to one of the ethernet port. This is the dedicated mode. IDRAC is accessed remotely, and a test OS shows that I am able to make connections from the server - that is to say nothing of all the material is defective or incorrectly configured.

The error I got was "there is no device eth0, most likely this CD does not support your hardware."

What I've tried so far:

  • Adding a tag to say the CD get em1 instead of eth0. I get the same message, "em1 device does not exist...". »
  • Adding a tag to say the CD to get the MAC address of iDRAC.
  • Changing from dedicated to Shared mode and selecting LOM1 as the interface active (with a cable connected to work).
  • Adding a tag to say the CD to get the MAC address of LOM1 port.

The error message remains the same. A test, I tried to use the CD to start on some other Dell desktop computers (I don't note the model numbers), and this time the CD recognizes eth0 on these machines (running Windows 7 Enterprise, although it shouldn't matter because the OS was not yet started again).

So there's something about how iDRAC vs NICs works. Beyond understanding fundamental iDRAC is a controller separated with its own processor to network card, etc, I'm new on the DRAC technology.

Unfortunately, I cannot understand what it and am running out of ideas. At this point, I would appreciate greatly any ideas I can try to get the CD to recognize the DRAC NIC. Or even one of the 4 ports.

Thanks a lot for reading.

If I add another ordinary of the compatible server (not a NDC) NIC card, the lifecycle controller will be able to detect the new card?

I don't understand why you care about the iDRAC and LCC with your custom installation of the operating system. You can use the iDRAC to mount your image of the operating system, but all this should have nothing to do with iDRAC or LCC.

Mount your ISO using the iDRAC and boot from it. Once it is initialized from your ISO, it's no different than booting from a DVD/CD. If it does not detect the network card, then the question is probably a driver problem with your OS support.

I don't think that this issue has nothing to do with the material. It's probably a problem with the driver on your support of OS or the installation script. I suggest you to start from your installation media to see if it detects the NIC correctly. This should be a good starting point to determine if you need to add additional drivers to the media or make changes to your script to make the installation work.

Thank you

  • Which network interface is linked to a 1000th PowerEdge iDRAC?

    I have a PowerEdge server 1000th with a bunch of blades plugged and there also * six * M6220 ethernet passes over it.

    I have configured each server so that it has a separate IP address of each switch of the following subnets:

    A1 - Public IPs (111.222.333 *, for example)

    A2 - private IP address (* 192.168.10)

    B1 - private IP address (* 192.168.20)

    B2 - private IP address (* 192.168.30)

    C1 - private IP address (* 192.168.40)

    C2 - private IP address (* 192.168.50)

    Each server can ping any other server on any B B six IP addresses (so that they can all 'see' each other on all interfaces of contactors.

    In addition, the CMC interface has a public IP address, and it is connected to the A1 (the public IP switch) switch.

    Now, when I want to use the interface of the iDRAC (for access, for example, the console to one of the servers), it works * fine * (which means that I can't the user a browser on one blade to access the console of the iDRAC of any * other * blade) if I attribute public IP to the iDRAC interfaces. However, if I assign an address from any of the * private * subnets (because my public IP is rare), I'm not able to reach the iDRAC console.

    IDRAC interfaces are only related to A1 or something, or is there a reason why I shouldn't be able to reach them through other switches?

    So it seems that the iDRAC facilities use the physical interface on the CMC, not on any of the modules A1 - C2 network. Although this interface was connected to our network public IP (with our A1 network interface), I was able to avoid public IP with our iDRAC interfaces by issuing IP aliases private A1 interfaces on our blades.

  • TCP on PC server with the network interface has 2

    If I need to create a TCP on PC server with the network interface has 2 with a different IP address, for example 192... and 172... and the IP address of the client side is 192..., is there something I need to take care.

    Any suggestion, thank you.

    No, by default the server listens on all interfaces.

  • Dell 3130cn printer network interface does not

    Hello

    I recently reset the printer to my Dell 3130cn to factory default settings. I also reset the LAN interface. After that I did, the network interface has stopped working.

    The printer is not able to get an IP address. There is no solid or flashing lights on at the back of the printer's ethernet port and the printer says its network/IP status as 'unknown '.

    What should I do? I wonder if the network interface is fried. I've never seen this problem until recently. The rest of the printer features seem to work well.

    Hello Josh,.

    Your options are limited, replacement of the on board fresh SST (Y507D) North of $ 400 million. Based on that I would recommend the replacement of the unit. Otherwise, you can connect the printer via USB and share it on the network through the PC.

  • VCo workflow to clone a virtual machine of centos. Network interface problem

    Hello

    I use vco workflows to clone a virtual machine of vcenter. The virtual machine is running centos 6.0. When cloning is complete. I see the network eth0 and eth1 interfaces set correctly the static gateway ip and address information I provided. I deleted the 70 - persistent - net .rules on the basic vm form which I clone. So, I get the correct interface names. But when vm powers on and I run "ifconfig eth0" I don't see the IP address of this interface has all the details.  same for the other interface also.

    But if I do a system restart network without changes to networking and then do an ifconfig I see the IP with the previous information.   I don't know why the service network restart is necessary so that he can recognize the ip address.

    Any ideas what I could do wrong. or to avoid this manual step of the execution of the service network restart command on the creation of the vm.

    Thank you

    Kiran

    Yes I'm restarting after after the application of customization.

    Has been able to solve the problem... In CentOS, the network service does not work by default. This is why it does not have network interfaces at startup. So now the machine instant, I started the network services and stop the Network Manager service

    using chkconfig network on

    chkconfig NetworkManager off

    and then cloned from this virtual machine... and apply the customization settings. during the start now it shows the interfaces properly without needing a service restart

    Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

    Hello

    I'm trying to understand how to configure a dedicated server of Dell R210 rented running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

    This dedicated server is rented www.online.net and sits somewhere in France. One of its network adapters have an IP public 62.210.177.20x. The other NIC is here, but I do not understand how it is configured. According to the www.online.net portal, the other NETWORK card has or should have an IP 10.90.116.20x. And I am obviously set up is to have some virtual machines running and be able to access the Internet. I have access to the console of the server Dell through iDRAC and since I could see, one of the network adapters in the IP is 62.210.177.20x defined, and the other has been shown out of service. I managed to make it appear the other interface but I cannot find anywhere how to assign the IP address 10.90.116.20x to this 2nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2nd NIC? I do not know. Should it be - I'm not either. I don't know French and manuals/instructions on www.online.net are in French. I can try an online translator, but I don't think that what I'm looking for is explained. How do I get this set up? I have to do something about the ESXi on the server console? This interface 2nd should be in place, or it must be down as if it was originally? Yesterday after watching someone videos on YouTube, I added the second virtual switch and moved the virtual hosts of this switch 2 and he entrusted the 2nd NIC. But that 2nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2nd switch. I'm just a desktop guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous J if you / someone put in steps how and where to set them up it... PLEASE

    Thanks in advance

    Network configuration

    • VMware vSphere Hypervisor is an "operating system" for pure virtualization and support NAT or routing. Therefore, only a real bridge configuration can be used.
    • To use a subnet additional IP must be configured as a router VM.

    If I understand the above, I need to show some VM and set up as a router? If the virtual machine that will act as a router must have two network interfaces, where it is connected to a switch and the other to the other switch network card. Am I do? The YouTube video that suggested, but I thought that maybe / somehow ESXi can route packets between the two network cards, but from what I read, ESXi can route packets. Do I need to order an additional / extra / 2nd IPv4 address so that it can be assigned to the interface of the router?

  • Are virtual network Interfaces, vSwitches?

    Hi all

    How to interpret virtual network interfaces? Those are the vSwitches or group of ports VM?

    Thanks for your help,

    Those that are not the default values.  Change of MAC address: Rject and forged passes: rejection would be the default values.

    But before you change them - they don't automatically indicate a security problem - you need to know why they changed first.

    Unfortunately starting with VMware Player 3, without a valid reason, I've never seen explained, VMware has stopped installing the virtual network Editor.  What I would try to solve the problem is to install manually and then use the restore default in the virtual network Editor to try to fix any problem with network cards virtual VMware.

    ==========

    To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

    VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
    

    Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.  You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.

    In addition they will have a network interface private and a public network interface, so it will be for public interface eth0 and eth1 for interconnection of private networks.

    I read that I can set up using VMWare server, create Virtual Machines and install the operating system invited to them.

    I intend to install Red Hat Linux guest OS.

    My question is basically, how can I do for the establishment of the private network eth1, will be the guest OS to automatically install the sense (do I need to have 2 NIC cards for this), or where and how can this be configured?

    Also, how these two speeches of Virtual Machines to another on the private interconnect?

    And is it possible to use DHCP or do I need to add the IP addresses manually?

  • Merge devices with multiple network interfaces

    Hello

    Is it possible to add several interfaces to a device network, but merged into a single device?

    For example, we have a lot of HP and Dell servers that have usually a network interface and an interface of management (ILO or iDRAC).

    It would be useful to be able to add two interfaces while having them mapped on the same server in NMS. The network interface would show us the availability on the network and the management interface may alert us hardware problems via SNMP.

    Anyone knows if this is possible, or do we need to have more than one entry for each server?

    Thanks in advance

    Ewan

    Hi Ewan,

    If the INVESTIGATION period is not recognized by the operating system, we most likely would not be able to draw the individual IP addresses of the ILO or the iDRAC. You can present this as a feature request in the ideas of the community section.

    Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

    I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

    Thanks for your response

    Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

    The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

    Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

    If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.
