Configuring Your Network 21
NOTE: If the first integrated network interface controller (NIC 1) is used in an Ether
Channel team or link aggregation team, the BMC management traffic will not
function on PowerEdge x8xx systems. The NIC teaming option is supported only on
PowerEdge x9xx and xx0x systems. For more information about network teaming,
see the documentation for the network interface controller.
• Verify that BMC is accessible and controllable from a remote node in your
cluster using the
bmc info command.
For example, if node2-ipmi is the network host name assigned to BMC for
node2, then to verify the BMC on node2 from node1, enter the following
command on node1:
$
ipmitool -H node2-ipmi -U bmcuser -P password
bmc info
Use root as the administrator account and calvin as the password.
If BMC is correctly configured, the information about BMC on the remote
node is displayed. If you see an error message, such as
Error: Unable to
establish LAN session
, check the BMC configuration on the remote node.
Account Access Enabled.
Account Privilege Set the account to: Admin.
Account User Name Assign account user name.
Enter Password Enter the password for this Account User. You
must enter at least one non-null character.
Confirm Password Confirm the password you entered.
