Installing openmanage on CEOS4:

Mount install cd from local drive

<pre>mount /dev/scd0 /mnt
cd /mnt/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/RHEL4
cd /mnt/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts/
./srvadmin-install.sh --express</pre>

Copy linux to disk
Edit the script to make it think the os is RHEL4

BIOS settings to enable serial:
Serial comm.: <tt>on with cons. Redir via com1</tt>
Failsafe: <tt>115200</tt>
Redir after boot: <tt>enabled</tt>

To boot to usb, switch hd sequence in bios. 

After removing usb it will have to reorder boot seq to get virtual cd back

Can’t get floppy/iso to boot- need to use thumb drive

= DRAC setup =

Here's the settings we use when we initially setup a new DRAC.

From within the DRAC web gui:

Remote Access -> config -> network: enter DNS, DNS DRAC name=jailX, DNS domain=johncompanies.com<br>
Remote Access -> config -> services: disable SNMP<br>
System -> Alert mgmt -> platform events: enable<br>
System -> Alert mgmt -> email alert settings: smtp=69.55.230.2, add email alert 1 to support@jc, desc: jailX drac hardware alert<br>

= RMM =

the user/ip/pass can be set via the BIOS. If you can't here's how you'd do that manually:

boot to a usb drive that contains <tt>syscfg</tt> utility

<pre>fs0:
cd intel\mgmt\syscfg
syscfg -le 3 static IP NM
syscfg -lc 3 12 GW
syscfg /u 2 "root" "pass"
syscfg /ue 2 enable 3

syscfg /d user 2 3
syscfg /d lan 3</pre>
