Hi all,
I recently set up a new Dell R320 server and when I log-in iDRAC I don't see the live preview of the virtual console.
There is only a message saying "Since VNC session is active, Virtual Console is disabled."
Same thing If I go from the tree menu and select "Virtual Console".
Any help welcome to resolve this issue.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
I have tried, unsuccessfully, to create two different ISOs - one SUU ISO, and another Linux bootable ISO - for Dell R900. Seemingly all files are downloaded, and the bootable ISOs are complete, but it cannot create them for whatever reason.
See excerpt from the report/log below for both:

Any idea what's going on here?
Hi all,
I've deployed the OM for vCenter appliance (v.3.1.0.134) into a dev environment and it's connecting to a new vCenter 6 u2 appliance.
Initially everything was good and I could deploy firmware, etc.
However, after the weekend (and not changing anything) it seems to have stopped working. From vCenter when I try to access the OM integration stuff it returns a critical error #2000000 - an unknown exception has occurred.
It suggests looking at the extended logs...does anyone know where I can find these logs?
Cheers,
Ben Loveday
Hi,
Is there an option to shutdown the virtual machines (not the host, but the individual machines themselves) gracefully using the MUMC software? If yes, do you have the steps to do it or point me to a manual that describes this? Thanks
What is the recommended method to run a Consistency Check on a PERC managed RAID without using OMSA?
Ran into an SSL library path error when trying to run an idracadm7 command and realized that I needed to install openssl-devel in addition to openssl for it to work. Just thought I would post here in case others ran into the same issue.
Here is there error:
ERROR: RAC1170: Unable to find the SSL library in the default path.
If a SSL library is not installed, install one and retry the
operation. If a SSL library is installed, create a soft-link of the
installed SSL library to "libssl.so" using the linux "ln" command

Many thanks,
I have a case open for some problems I'm having with a PowerEdge T110. The engineer I was working with recommended that I boot the server into the Lifecycle Controller, and install the updates through there. Since this might require a significant amount of downtime, I had to schedule this for a weekend. Now that I am here, I'm trying to follow the instructions I was given to boot into the Lifecycle Controller, but the option to boot into it does not appear to be there. I also tried to download and install the "Dell LifeCycle Controller v1.7.5" (Controller_Legacy_Application_0WFGM_WN64_1.7.5.4_A00.EXE) but when I try to run the install, I get an error that says "This is not compatibly with the configuration".
Is there something else I should be doing to update the firmware on this server?
I think I have found a bug.
I create Custom ISOs for ESXi 6.0 so I can include the latest drivers and the VIBs for our storage.
I created a new ISO with ESXi 6.0 Update 2 with the latest Dell OpenManage 8.3.0 VIB.
In vCenter(6.0) Update Manager, I have the Dell repo as a download source: https://vmwaredepot.dell.com/index.xml
I downloaded the OpenManage 8.3.0 VIB from here: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriersDetails?driverId=C1PKP
However, now when I run a scan of the host with Update Manager, it fails and the error in esxupdate.log:
2016-04-28T15:44:03Z esxupdate: esxupdate: ERROR: ValueError: Cannot merge VIBs Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_8.3.0.ESXi600-0000, Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_8.3.0.ESXi600-0000 with unequal payloads attributes: ([OpenManage: 7809.081 KB], [OpenManage: 7807.439 KB])
I'm seeing older version of OpenManage that had this same error and it was a bug.
Things I have done: Reinitialize VUM database, which I can then scan the hosts successfully. Once I add back in the Dell repo, it starts failing again with the above error in the esxupdate.log file.
Anyone else seeing the same thing?
I am trying to update the idrac on several R620 servers and cannot get the certificates to load, I keep getting a web page error line 134 char6.
I have created a CSR from the idrac and signed it with a CA to creat a crt file. I navigate to Idrac settings, Network SSL, and try to import the certificate, I click apply, nothing happens and then about a minute later I get a web page error saying error line 134 char 6 permission denied.
I nhave tried this over a network and plugged directly from a laptop into the idrac, same result every time.
It is IDRAC7 v1.66.65.
As far as I can figure after I press accept, it tries to navigate to the certificate address given on screen and then errors. I have tried to put the file in various location, network, local, etc and still no good.
Any help appreciated!
Latest Dell iDrac Firmware is 2.85? Anyone else installed this in a PowerEdge R710?
I have two servers that won't let me log in locally to OpenManage. When I put in the credentials it looks like it logs in but then drops me right back out to the login screen. I DON'T get the screen saying the credentials are incorrect.
On one server I've uninstalled and reinstalled OMSA and it still does it. I've also tried resetting the IE settings on the servers.
I can connect to one of them from another machine (the other is behind a firewall) and it logs in fine using my laptop. Any thoughts?
Both servers are Server 2k8 R2. Upgraded one to the latest x64 openmanage available today.
Edit: Installed firefox on one of them and it works fine. I Still need to find out why IE is redirecting back to the login page of course though.

Hello

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
this is related to dell's repository, can this be fixed and let me know once done?
Hi Everyone,
I am a newbie to using SolarWinds NCM and have been plugging away.
I recently started using Network Atlas and so far it's going well.
I created one map, added my core Cisco switch and several other switches to my map and the Connect now, Connect L2 connections works great.
I created a 2nd Map added the same core Cisco Switch and a few Dell Servers (R300 and R730) and the Connect Now, Connect ALL Connections(L2 + L3) fails to connect any of my servers to my core switch.
I created support ticket with SolarWinds and they said I need to contact Dell to find out why the server during an SNMP walk is not returning snmpwalk oid topology. There's no Layer 2 returned to Solarwinds.
Does anyone have a clue how to proceed?
Thanks
Nick
Hello here :)
On an "old" iDRAC6, but up to date (2.85 (Build 04) at this date ;)), it seems that Windows does not like the digital signature of the ActiveX (AVCT_KVM_VM.cab)
It fails with: "Invalid Algorithm Specified"
I don't think it's a big deal for Dell to make a valid digital signature (see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/32288.windows-enforcement-of-authenticode-code-signing-and-timestamping.aspx#Digital_signature_tab_approach)
Not a big deal, as Dell push a 2012 version in the package... it only needs a good signature with good certificate chain.
I get it works by decompressing AVCT_KVM_VM in fixed folder, then regsvr32 videoviewer.ocx
Thank you in advance Dell :)
I'm trying to setup OMSA on Dell R805 server / W2K8R2. The challenge I'm facing is that no matter what I try OMSA web interface is failing to show the information frame, reporting "This page can’t be displayed" instead.
This is what I've tried to do so far:
Nothing helps. I keep getting "This page can’t be displayed" in the internal frame of the OMSA page. Or, in case of Firefox "The page isn't redirecting properly"
I'm attaching a screenshot of the error and the Apache log.
Any help is really appreciated.
I have a M610 iDRAC that stopped responding and no longer displays its configured ip address from the CMC. Swapping the Management Riser Board and changing slots did not help. Interestingly, I can even update the Idrac firmware from the OS level. The CMC and idrac are the newest levels.
The following works: Power On/OFF from the CMC, Updating the Firmware from the OS, blade server is fully functional on the network.
The following does not work: KVM, IDRAC network interface , assign/read the IP from the CMC, update software or get software inventory
What's next?
idrac version 3.8
CMC version 5.12
Thanks
Hi All
Just a quick one: I have installed drac 5 in my PE1900. updated it to the latest firmware, got the console working (from within lan).
I have configured my router to forward port 1111 to 443 & drac \ip.
when trying to access drac by providing xxx.remotewebaccess.com:1111 address, after accepting expired certificate, I get 404 error.
Any one knows how to fix this?
