T610 w/Dead BMC: DRAC6 express bypass BMC?

Hey all, could be a stupid question, but the history behind it, it's that there is a small business owner who is not exactly in a place to drop the $$ for a new server (at least yet, I try to buy their time) and their T610 has been restarted at random and it is exacerbated by the inability to communicate with the BMC stipulating the POST by mistake he can not find the iDRAC and restarts once to look for new front it strike even the OS so we are looking for 20-30 minutes when the server is offline whenever he decides to restart.  Windows updates are on request so that the OS is not reboot to apply updates and the CPU, RAM, hard drives don't show any error still half OpenManage items are missing "System Services Disabled' to the POST does not allow for Diagnostics and and Windows-based diagnostic kit complains of the LCL , so I can't find a more information.  EV logs show just a general hardware fault which Googlefu fails to turn anything concrete.  I'm sure that the motherboard needs to be replaced, but my boss really hate the idea of throwing a used part, so I will try to collect more clues.

So my question is, if we were to install a DRAC Express module, would he stop complaining of iDRAC (BMC) and let us use the ESM or depends on the DRAC the BMC?  In addition, I've been able to find a video for the DRAC in a R710 and she's naturally another provision and I'm trying to understand what the black rectangle in the following image:

This looks like the DRAC Express but does feel not removable.  The BMC itself can be replaced?  Should I just keep pushing for a motherboard?

Thanks for any input!

You need to replace the motherboard. IDRAC express is the BMC. IDRAC is not an optional component on the R710. It is a standard component on the system board. I don't think that it is removable or replaceable.

Thank you

  • How to find which version of Windows Live Mail I have?

    The death of my last computer, my beloved Outlook Express died with him.  I was shocked to know that I had to have Windows Live Mail and he did not support by e-mail.  I'm still scratching my head trying to understand why they would take it away from us when WLM is supposed to be better than OE but can't get a response from Microsoft on this one here.  Best buy got Thunderbird a stationery, but I couldn't use it with Windows 7.  So for two years, I didn't have a paper mill.  I recently discovered that I have Thunderbird on Windows 7, I installed it and have all the stationery that I could wish.  However, for ease of use and the folder options I prefer WLM.  Now, someone just told me that WLM 9 supports HTML for stationery.  By that, I mean like in Thunderbird, I can pull up a 'file', (an image or picture) to My Documents or my pictures in a new e-mail message and use it as stationery and can I download WLM 9 and remove WLM 11.


    Firstly, I bought my computer in 2012 so I guess I have WLM 11, but I can't find out how to know which version I.  Does anyone know how to find out who?

    In addition, WLM 11 doesn't have a lot of stuff that's not WLM 9?  I would make a big mistake by changing from 11 to 9?  How can ensure me that all my information is changed in the course of 9?

    Any advice would be appreciated.  I really, really enjoy my stationery in Thunderbird, but it save me a step if I could do it in WLM instead to run two programs of stationery.

    Thank you.

    Certainly, you do not have Windows Live Mail. It is quite
    as an option.

    and he has not supported by email.

    He certainly fact e-mail support.

    You have the choice of many e-mail programs, some by Microsoft and some

    concerned, Windows Live Mail is not a very good choice and there is
    many of the better ones. I recommend that you try several and choose the

  • Best practices of supervision between vFoglight BMC EWC versus VMware

    IF someone has a good practice of monitoring collection they use for their VMware environment? There are more than 50 rules to select using the cartridge or a VMARE agent.

    I was wondering if someone has combined with a tracking profile that does not have so many alerts, theybecome white noise. Them is a BMC here footprint and being invited to assess

    the ability for the BMC COFFEE optimization tool. It seems some metrics collection tools and also well track overlap. I was wondering if anyone has used this tool to be in conjunction with vfoglight, or by itself.

    The general way I tend to look at alerts is first turn.  Then turn on only the bits that make sense.  In general, I want to know about the problems of VM, CPU/memory/running out of disk space (like the growth rate compared to fixed thresholds); The ESX host fall / maintenance mode/dead, running out of space data warehouses; Clusters running space and that's it.  Ultimately, this is about ten rules.  Even in this case I'm going to tailer them slightly by the environment, but it is difficult to find a perfect mix that works OOTB for each.  Usually, I'll spend an hour or two to install and then twist after a month or two of tweaking their.

    At the end of the day, a lot of rules will not apply to everyone, but it is better do to turn vs you have to start from scratch IMO.

  • Dell poweredge R210 II BMC communication failure

    Hello

    I installed a new card 6 IDRAC and during startup, I got this error message from BMC communication

    and I do not have access to the IDRAC utility.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sohann,

    Looks like you installed and map iDRAC6 Enterprise without iDrac Express being installed. When upgrading a system to the Baseboard Management Controller to controller of iDRAC6 Enterprise, an iDRAC6 Express controller must also be installed for iDRAC business controller features.  This is because most of the logic for the iDrac lies in fact in the Express.

    Also, what is the part number for the company card you have installed, so I can confirm compatibility. I ask as I have only to use with the business you already have, as well as a reference number for the complete upgrade of BMC Enterprise, the numbers for the Express card. This is where the card you have is not compatible.

    iDrac6 Express only (for upgrade BMC to Express) - 330-5946

    If you card is not compatible.

    iDrac Enterprise Upgrade Kit (for upgrading BMC until the company - 330-7645

    Let me know.

  • T310 without IDRAC6 warns of IDRAC communication failure, unable to access the BMC configuration

    Hello

    I got through my company a T310 which has no IDRAC6 Express card or the company.

    The LCD screen remains white/black constantly (tried with a spare one, same result) and when starting, it signals a failure of communication IDRAC6, which is normal since there is no card, then it restarts once more before entering Windows very well. He never offers me to enter a BMC configuration utility. I tried to reset the settings of the default BIOS nothing helps. OMSA reports no problem. Also updated the BIOS to the latest version 1.8.2 without modification. Fan is very noisy and I understand that by updating the BMC firmware, I have a chance to correct it, but I can't get into any configuration of the BMC.

    In my view, there was a map iDRAC6 before, but it is no longer, so don't know how to clear this error. I read that an iDRAC6 Express card is OPTIONAL, so it shouldn't bother me on this subject.

    ==> I want to erase those mistakes to POST, being able to update BMC firmware (or iDRAC) so that I can get the fan to operate at acceptable noise levels.

    (1) how do the server to understand that there is no. IDRAC whatsoever and give me access to the BMC during POST configuration utility?

    (2) is it normal that the remains of white LCD Panel at any time? Start button / stop works very well, just none of the buttons works, never get any color/light. Is it possible that it is controlled by the IDRAC/BMC, which, in its current mess, can't drive? I understand that the LCD comes with the option Connect hot (not sure why btw), so that I think it should work regardless of the IDRAC are there or not.

    I'm ready to buy an IDRAC6 Express card if there is a good chance that he will address this problem by eliminating the communication error and perhaps give me access to the config of the IDRAC. But I would really like to understand what's happening before you spend more money on it.

    Thank you!

    Max

    Hi Max,.

    The question might actually be caused by a problem of motherboard, a functional PowerEdge server without IDRAC should not show the error message, more if the Ctrl + E option is not displayed during POST, it indicates an abnormal start of BMC.

    Are what OS you running on the system? I don't know if you're aware, but the BMC update can be applied to the level of the OS, which are available here:

    http://Dell.to/HIBoTI

    If the system is still under warranty, I highly recommend asking for you assistance and support if a motherboard replacement is required.

    Thank you.

  • RD630 BMC BIOS update failure v16

    What didn't was not doing the update BACK to v16 v2.10 BMC, it omits to say Phase 2: timeout.

    I'm assuming that Phase 2 is the creation of the virtual USB?

    If I'm wrong please let me know.

    3. copy the BMCDOS folder previously extracted on the bootable USB of MS-DOS key.
    4. boot on the USB key on the server that requires the BMC update.
    5. run efbmc.bat to start the update BMC create a virtual USB device.

    Never went to this place. Said the Phase 2 Timeout

    6. when the application system create virtual USB device successfully and reboot the system by Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
    7. press F12 to select the USB device as the boot device to enter in BACK and enter the folder BMCDOS Bpackage.
    8 run new efbmc.bat to start the BMC update and fill it.

    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    I've already updated the system BIOS to the latest version as well as the card RAID LSI firmware.

    Thank you

    Karl

    Here are the steps I should take to get the BMC update to work.

    Completely turned off and pull power cards.
    Let stand for 10 min.
    Plug the USB bootable
    Connect the cords.
    Turn on the server.
    Press F12 to load the boot options.
    Select the USB bootable as startup option
    When the c: prompt type cd BMCDOS and press on enter
    Type efbmc and press enter
    Look AT the screen
    He doesn't go to the top, as the instructions say. The screen will repeat itself in fact twice.
    The only difference is that you will see 2 sections where it tells you if it is boot a start or two and then instructions.
    Press CTRL + ALT + DEL - restart the server
    Press F12 to load the boot options.
    Select the USB bootable as startup option
    When the c: prompt type cd BMCDOS and press on enter
    Type efbmc and press enter

    Here he now will tell you that he finds the virtual USB STICK and start download BMC updated firmware.
    This operation will last about 10 minutes, go through all of its updates and controls.
    When it's done, it will be back to the command line.

    Hope this helps others.

  • Failure of the BMC Communication - PowerEdge T110ii

    Hello

    Unexpectedly, during a reboot, I noticed the BMC was a failure of communication on our PowerEdge T110ii.

    -I was wondering, inability to communicate with what exactly? (not sure about the architecture of this)

    -no idea why is such an error occurs?

    -is the solution to this problem reinstalling the BMC firmware?  If so, is there's special procedure to follow?

    Thank you, any help or comments would be appreciated!  : o).

    Denis

    Cmechtilde,

    It is possible that the problem is the firmware, as you are a few updates back. You can find the updated version here. What I would say is to turn off the server and move the jumper on the motherboard to clear the NVRAM, as indicated below, after you have moved the jumper then feed to clear the NVRAM. Once clear then feed to the operating system and then run the update.

    Let me know if that solves the problem.

  • R210 MESSAGE after message BMC BIOS reboots

    Our R210 PE is being reconfiguration to be used primarily as a server antivirus. I took offline, uninstalled the software is no longer necessary on this subject and restarted. Since then, he is not able to reach the point where it offers the possibility to press Ctrl-E to go into the BIOS of BMC configuration. Once completed the delay so that the server restarts and begins at the STATION from the beginning.

    I can press Ctrl-E and enter the BMC BIOS. I tried to change a variety of settings including reset to the factory settings without behavior change.

    I also tried the NVRAM with the jumper on the motherboard with no change other than the reset BIOS settings to the default values for compensation. Ditto for the battery from the motherboard.

    I can press F2 and the display changes to 'Penetrate into System Settings', but the server will reboot before I can access the system BIOS.

    Not that he is important because he never gets to the point where it can start the operating system, but it is / was running Windows Server 2008 R2.

    Any suggestions are appreciated. I've included a few photos of the screen as the system messages.

    Jim

    I see where the Flash goes with that. On the R210, the last POST process should initialize the Remote Access Controller and the last message that you will see on the POST is "Press control-E...» ». If a server has no OS, or operating system is a problem, it hangs at the point where you server are suspended and not to go further. Typically in this scenario it simply means that the POST is complete and is waiting for hand-off to the operating system. You can prove it is to refute this theory of POST simply seeking a start-up from another device as a bootable CD/DVD OS.

    However, there is another clue here, your server is not put on hold here, it is set to zero and will not handle the F2 command before restarting. Resulting in a me thinks that the issue is material, the server does not complete POST and the first step in troubleshooting is to take up to a minimum at the post OFFICE. Remove all PCI cards, including the storage card when it exists. Remove all external devices, including USB keys or other devices. Remove all DIMMs except a strip of memory in the first place. Remove the power supply from the backplane and leave all drives disconnected. Try to POST, including the removal of the F2 key to enter the Bios.

    If the problem persists, it is probably a problem with the motherboard. If the issue clears, start to connect devices have been removed one at a time and test POST after each device reconnects to try to identify the issue.

  • Reference Dell C6220 BMC Password Recovery

    Hi all

    I have a C6220 server for some reason any has a different password to BMC placed on it and now no knows what it is and we cannot use our ipmi tools and other useful things because we can't access to the BMC.  Does anyone know how to reset the password or to recover?  I have a physical access and access to the OS Server so I can do everything that may be necessary.  I've been Googling for this and found nothing.  I know there's a PWRD_EN jumper on the motherboard, but I don't know if it is for the BMC password or even works this jumper.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The only way I know to change the BMC password on our cloud boxes is via command line. You can use IPMI to the local system. It should not require a user/pass to make the local IPMI commands. The command should be something like this:

    #ipmitool user set password 2 newpassword

    The default user/pass is root/root. After you have entered a password with this command, you should be able to login with root/newpassword. If your current operating system doesn't have a capacity of IPMI, then you can start a live Linux distribution to run the command.
