I never used that before and neither can`t ping the BMC nor do i really know how to proceed. spend half an hour with this now and could need a helping hand. what do i need to do (or to check) so that i can capture the boot messages? i could imagine it goes like this: 1. configure bmc in bios to have dedicated ip adress (->done) 2. configure SOL in bios so serial port1 or port2 would map to a network port (->done) 3. plug network cable into onboard nic1/nic2 (tried both). or would i need a special network port/bmc addon-card to be plugged in? there are just the 2 onboard nic`s 4. check connectivity to the BMC (-> how? ping to BMC ip does NOT work) 5. connect to the BMC/SOL (->how?) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
