OMSA 7.4.0 Send email alerts for storage - How?

February 16, 2017, 12:35 pm

I'm fairly well used to setting these things up in other environments.  

This is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.  OMSA 7.4.0 is installed.
I see System \ Alert Management \ Alert Actions \ Alert Actions Information with icons showing on the right of that.  I select E-mail.  

- What's not clear in the email setup is which email server is being assumed?  

-What's also not clear is the relationship between this dialog and the settings for Broadcast Message.  One might well assume that they are connected.  Otherwise, how is an email to be sent when there's an alert?

racadm unable to connect after firmware upgrade to 2.41.40.40

Hi,

I have several R730 with iDRAC8 Enterprise.

I used racadm utility on Linux Centos 6.6 to connect to iDRACs, to power up/down servers.

After upgrading iDRAC firmware from 2.10.10.10 to 2.41.40.40 I can no longer connect to iDRACs.

# racadm -r <IP> -u root -p <PASSWORD> getsysinfo
ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address.

At the same time using racadm to connect to another server with the old firmware works ok.

The upgraded server has proper IP settings, ping works, web management works well, Remote RACADM is enabled.

Also ssh root@IP to the upgraded server's idrac works:

# ssh root@IP
Password: ***********
/admin1-> getsysinfo
[a lot of interesting output goes on]

Can it be a problem related to SSL?

# yum list installed | grep openssl
openssl.x86_64 1.0.1e-30.el6.8 @updates
openssl098e.x86_64 0.9.8e-18.el6_5.2 @base

I've even upgraded racadm to the latest version from OM-MgmtStat-Dell-Web-LX-8.4.0-2193_A00.tar.gz and still no luck with racadm.

Any help is welcome :)

Kind regards,

Michal

Setting Default Auth domain for iDRAC with AD

Is it possible to set a default domain for the iDRAC Active Directory integration so that a user only has to type in a username and password when they connect to and iDRAC?

Typing in the full user@domain or domain\user or clicking drop-downs is a bit of a pain which I'd like to simplify, especially when trying to log in to large numbers of servers at the same time.

I am only interested in iDRAC 7/8 and am planning to upgrade all of them to 2.41.40.40 as part of the rollout.

iDRAC6 Board Module Replacement - License Transfer?

Hi all, recently we had an iDRAC6 with an enterprise license have the network port go bad.  I had read somewhere that it would be fairly easy to just purchase a new board for around $25 and just replace the existing board and that the license would stay with the the server due to it being on the main board.  However, after replacement, it's only seeing a baseboard management controller and not our iDRAC6 enterprise license.  Is there something that needs to be done to transfer this license?  Has anyone run into this before?  Unfortunately the server was out of warranty and I do not have direct access to it or I'd just mess around until I figured it out.  Thank you in advance!

Hi all

As the title says. My first server I have done this on was at 1.8 for iDrac, I tried to update to 2.85 and after a long wait and a reset it did not change. I have since then applied 1.98 and this has worked a treat and it shows in the upgrade as completed and updated in the iDrac.

So I tried 2.85 again, but again it goes thru the upgrade but nothing happens it does not change...Its a

Dell R610, I have another 14 to do so want to get it right before I deploy the rest of them,

Any ideas?

How long is the delay for Linux repositories?

Can anyone tell me how long the typical delay is for Dell's updates to reach the repository? For OMSA, version 8.5 was release about 10 days ago and supposedly fixes a bug in 8.4. The repositories only show 8.4 as available. Just curious how long it typically takes before updates are available through the repository.

OMSA and NIC team interfaces

We have numerous servers (M620s) with dual 10G NICs in a NIC team, each with NIC team interfaces on two different VLANs, all managed by Windows Server 2012's inbuilt teaming driver.

OMSA shows the NIC team interfaces but one or more show redundancy as "failed" even though Windows shows everything as normal.

Is this a known issue with OMSA? So far I've seen it on all of my M620s on various versions of OMSA (e.g. 8.2, 8.5).

replace idrac 7 express in T620 with enterprise or bypass it completely

April 4, 2017, 2:27 pm

we have a T620 that is currently reporting an iDrac initialization error, we can press F1 to bypass and boot the unit.  leaving the unit unplugged for an hour and also using the button in the front to soft reset have not cleared the error.  when i go into the system bios i cannot enter the idrac menu, it says it cannot communicate with the idrac system.  we don't use idrac for management and i would be happy to just turn it off if i could get to that bios menu.  otherwise the system seems fine.

this system needs to be able to auto restart in the event of a power failure.

i called dell parts sales to get a replacement idrac unit and they say they cant find a part in the catalog and suspect its an express that is built into the motherboard, they do not have replacement motherboards available.  

a google search tells me that this system probably came with either an idrac 7 express or enterprise (the service tag support page does not have idrac listed as a part)

searching secondary parts sources i found idrac enterprise cards that are definitely a separate card.  if i 'upgrade' the idrac to enterprise, will this bypass the failed onboard card?

thanks for your help.

ESXi6.5 iDrac Service Module (iSM 2.5)?

I'm having trouble finding the VIB for iDrac Service Module for ESX 6.5.  The new iSM 2.5 claims that it is compatible with ESXi 6.5 and there are installation instructions provided in many places.  I just can't find the proper download. 

The ESX 6.0 version is available here;   ESXi60

Some documentation mentions downloading the Dell Systems Management Tools and DOcumentation DVD v8.5, which I did.  I extracted the iSO and in the iSM folder, all I see is rpms for Linux, EXEs for Windows.  Nothing for ESX.


According to the install docs, the file I'm looking for would be named this or similar:

ISM-Dell-Web-2.5.0-566.VIB-ESX65i_A00.zip

Dell power management - Battery Discharge

I have done the custom settings for battery from dell power management. I have set that the battery should start charging when it is at 50% and stop charging at 80%. When the battery has charged 80%.It has stopped charging. But the discharging of the battery is not happening itself. I have to remove the ac power so that the laptop should start using battery instead of ac power. The battery should self discharge when it reaches 80% and start charging when it reaches 50%. which is not happening currenlty. Can any suggest any solution.

Hi:

I installed the OMSA appliance and am now trying to register it with my ESXi server.  I'm getting a 'Failed to register extension' error.  I'm wondering if the plugin requires VMWare APIs that are not exposed with the free license.

Thank you!

To communicate with the Dell Server Management Pack in System Centre Operations Manager 2012 R2, OMSA (Open Manage Server Administrator) 8.4 recommends Enhanced Message Format over Traditional Message Format.  What's the difference between Enhanced Message Format and Traditional Message Format?  Will Enhanced Message Format work with Dell Server Management Pack version 5.1?

I am unable to log into iDRAC6 and the web UI remains stuck at "Verifying Credentials" forever. I tried all different browsers with exact same result. I've tried resetting the iDRAC configurations to factory defaults and then upgrading the firmware to the latest 1.98, however, the issue still came back not long after. Having to reboot the server and reset it repeatedly isn't really working. Please help.

Dell OptiPlex 9020 Bios disable legacy enable UEFI, change boot order

April 22, 2017, 9:44 am

We are pushing a new image this summer but we need to make boot and file system changes, my boss wants me to automate this process.

the goals are to desable legacy in bios, enable UEFI, select PXE,  change UeFI boot order (usb,cd, NIC, Hd)

using the Bios configuration tool at command line. I have the config.ini file from the bios.

can I make all those changes at once or do I have to reboot in between enable UEFI and changeing the boot order

I am finding the file changes to boot order is not giving me the results I want, any tips on this as a side question?

The why: we are moving from MBR to GPT with the new image Win10, and we save time on the boot by disabling legacy. The boss says so. (the short answer)

any tips or suggestions welcome.
