command prompt by clicking "Start" and selecting "Run," and typing
"cmd.exe" in the "Run" dialog box). The following message is
displayed on the management station:
"SOL not able to write to the system serial port."
Cause: Console redirection is not enabled in the BIOS setup.
* The Linux operating system shell prompt has a path cache that
can under some circumstances cause a different ipmish to be
invoked if ipmish is executed immediately after it is installed.
To resolve this, type "hash -r" at the same shell prompt to clear
the cache and then execute ipmish.
* To run IPMItool inband on Windows 2003 R2 systems, the Windows
IPMI driver needs to be installed. For instructions on how to
install the driver, see: http://technet2.microsoft.com/

* Running IPMItool on Linux systems requires the OpenIPMI driver
to be installed and running. Use the command "service ipmi start"
to start the IPMI service at runtime, and "chkconfig ipmi on" to
start the services automatically at boot.
* While running the delloem LCD feature option- userdefined string,
you may face an issue while setting the userdefined
string that contains the character '&&' on the Windows machine.
Define the string in "" to avoid this issue.

Issues For Dell PowerEdge 1855 System
=====================================================================
The following apply only for the Dell PowerEdge 1855 system:
* Any host application that communicates with port 623 cannot be
executed from LOM_1 (the first one) of a server module. If you
attempt this, the network packets will be sent to the BMC instead
of the host. So use LOM_2, and ensure that the IP address, IP
subnet mask, and the gateway settings for the LOM_1 and the BMC
match to prevent possible network disruptions.
* The following subsection explains how to identify and resolve a
possible IP address conflict.
