where, filename is the openssl or libopenssl rpm package file.
For example:
rpm -ivh --force openssl-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh --force libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
Why are the remote RACADM and web-based services unavailable after a property change?
It may take a while for the remote RACADM services and the Web-based interface to become available after the iDRAC web server
resets.
The iDRAC Web server is reset when:
• The network configuration or network security properties are changed using the iDRAC web user interface.
• The iDRAC.Webserver.HttpsPort property is changed, including when a racadm set -f <config file> changes it.
• The racresetcfg command is used.
• iDRAC is reset.
• A new SSL server certificate is uploaded.
Why is an error message displayed if you try to delete a partition after creating it using local RACADM?
This occurs because the create partition operation is in-progress. However, the partition is deleted after sometime and a message that the
partition is deleted is displayed. If not, wait until the create partition operation is completed and then delete the partition.
Permanently setting the default password to
calvin
If your system shipped with a unique default iDRAC password but you want to set calvin as the default password, you must use the
jumpers available on the system board.
CAUTION:
Changing the jumper settings permanently changes the default password to calvin. You cannot revert to the
unique password even if you reset iDRAC to factory settings.
For information about the jumper location and the procedure, see the documentation for your server at www.dell.com/support.
Miscellaneous
When an OS is installed, hostname may or may not appear/change automatically.
There are two scenarios:
• Scenario 1: iDRAC is not showing the latest hostname once you install an OS. You need to install OMSA or iSM along with the iDRAC
to get the hostname reflected.
• Scenario 2: iDRAC had a hostname for a specific OS and another different OS has been installed and still the hostname is appearing as
the old hostname without overwriting the hostname. The reason behind, hostname is an information which is coming from the OS,
iDRAC only saves the information. If there is a new OS has been installed, iDRAC does not reset the value of the hostname. However,
newer versions of the OSs are capable to update the hostname in iDRAC during the 1st OS startup.
How to find an iDRAC IP address for a blade server?
NOTE:
The Chassis Management Controller (CMC) option is applicable only for Blade servers.
• Using CMC web interface:
Go to Chassis > Servers > Setup > Deploy. In the table that is displayed, view the IP address for the server.
• Using the Virtual Console: Reboot the server to view the iDRAC IP address during POST. Select the "Dell CMC" console in the
OSCAR to log in to CMC through a local serial connection. CMC RACADM commands can be sent from this connection.
For more information on CMC RACADM commands, see the Chassis Management Controller RACADM CLI Guide available at
www.dell.com/cmcmanuals.
For more information on iDRAC RACADM commands, see the iDRAC RACADM CLI Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
• Using local RACADM
