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.

From a running system you should check if IPMI is configured correctly:

/etc/init.d/ipmi start ipmitool user list Pick one user by ID and set the password for it: ipmitool user set <ID> password <password> Check which channel is the network channel: ipmitool channel info <n> where <n> is the channel number. I haven't found any way to list all possible channels, so you'll have to step through the channels by hand. One channel should give you an output with Medium type '802.3 LAN', that's the one you're looking for. Then you can check the LAN settings by ipmitool lan print <n> that will print out the current network configuration settings, most notably the IP address. Now you can use another machine and contact the IPMI from there: ipmitool -H <ipaddress> -U <username> -P <password> power status If you get a message like: Chassis Power is on then IPMI is configured properly. Then you should be able to do something like ipmitool -H <ipaddress> -U <username> -P <password> -I lanplus sol activate and you should be seeing the output of the serial-over-LAN connection. Famous last words. -- 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.

But basically the problem is that smartd is sending down ATA-passthrough commands if it detects an ATA drive. Which isn't a problem per se as (surprise, surprise) all ATA drives understand ATA commands. However, smartd fails to encapsulate the ATA command in a proper SCSI passthrough command, sending down raw ATA commands. Which will be interpreted as SCSI commands causing random garbage. -- 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.
