racadm cfgLDAPRoleGroupDN error
I cant get racadm to set my Role Groups it returns - ERROR: The specified object value is not valid
I have tried the command remotely and locally and it does not matter, this is on a DELL R710 DRAC Version 1.70
The syntax as follows:
racadm config -g cfgLDAPRoleGroup -o cfgLDAPRoleGroupDN -i 1 CN=blah.blah.blah,OU=groupblah,DC=domain,DC=com
ERROR: The specified object value is not valid
It doesnt matter if I make the string uppercase, lowercase, a combination of both, some of the string, none of the string. The same error happens.
Any ideas as what I am doing wrong?

PowerEdge T610 running ESXi 5.0 - want to install more disks. OSMA?
First off hi and I'm a bit of a noob on servers and ESXi.
We run a Poweredge T610 running ESXi 5.0 with 6 Windows 2008 servers.
Currently we have 2 x 3TB disks, I'm not sure what RAID we are using.
I have 2 x 2TB & 1 x 1TB disks I want to add to the server.
I've put them into the machine and now I need to get ESXi to see them. I think I've worked out that this can be done with OSMA?
I downloaded OSMA 7.3 ISO for ESXi and it tells me to burn to DVD and restart the server with the disk in and then it will walk me thru.
Am I on the right track here or not?
If so, would this install and add a VM to my ESXi or overwrite my whole server? 
Help gratefully received.

iDRAC problem on Dell R610
Hi,
I've just got a new Dell R610 and I've been trying to setup the iDRAC card on it. I've successfully configured it on multiple Dell T300's and the iLO's interfaces on various models of HP servers. But for some reason I'm having severe problems with this particular one.
I think it's got an iDRAC Express card as there's no additional ethernet port on the server, just the standard 4 on-board NIC's. The iDRAC BIOS are version 1.70 which I understand is the latest.
From the iDRAC configuration screen (Ctrl+E), iDRAC and IPMI over Lan are both enabled. NIC Selection is set to shared though for Active LOM it reports 'No Active LOM'. VLANs are disabled, does the iDRAC Express support them? - once it's working I'd like to enable it if possible.
Only NIC1 (eth0) is connected to the switch. I've tried configuring it with DHCP but it never gets an address even though the OS gets one.
To eliminate the Switch/VLANs I even tried connecting NIC1 directly to another server and running tcpdump with the iDRAC configured with a static IP address (the default of 192.168.0.120). Didn't get a thing from it. I could see the arp requests going out but no responses from the iDRAC.
So how do you get the iDRAC to work??
Thanks.

MUMC and VCenter Plugin
Hello everyone,
To make it quick:
We recently changed the whole infrastructure, including a new UPS: (1920w) http://www.dellups.com/solutionUSS_list.asp?SOLID=793120&ResellerIDCode=1 .
We've got a VMware Essential Plus edition (with a Vcenter) and wanted to use the MUMC to manage the correct shutdown of VMs and ESX hosts.
MUMC is installed on the same VM as the Vcenter, windows firewall is disabled (Vcenter default ports are used).
The main problem is when we add the Vcenter to the virtualization module (tried login with domain\user or user@domain).
We can see this error in the log file:
| Type : | Error |
| Module : | VMwareWebService |
| Message : | Error on the VMware connection process |
| Détails : | Host'Vcenter.xxx.lan': Session is not authenticated. |
The Vcenter plugin has never showed up in the Vcenter.
Any great idea how to solve this will be welcomed.. we didn't find any suggestion or detail concerning this error.
(I can give more details if it can help)

How do update CPLD exactly???
Notes to update the latest Chassis firmware (3.2) suggest atht when doing this CPLD is also updated.
In the notes it says to do the following:
1. Place the files onto an DOS-compatible disk (e.g., floppy, USB key, etc.).
2. Run "M910-CPLD-A02.exe" from the command prompt.
But there are no instructions on how to do this.
Has someone got some detailed steps to follow for this?
Thx,
John Bradshaw
PS ITA 8.9 doesn't seem to know anything about CPLD updates which is a shame.

VRTX CMC stuck at acquiring IP
I've got one of the VRTX chassis with two blades installed. Now, I'm not sure what happened, but I was logged in to the CMC web interface and enabled DRAC for each of the blades, then I lost the ability to connect to the CMC. It goes straight to the switch management console. On the front LCD, CMC is never able to acquire an IP. I can't figure out what I've done. Any help and suggestions and criticisms are greatly appreciated!

The watchdog timer expired.
We have several Dell PowerEdge T620 servers in remote locations throughout our Enterprise. Each of them is randomly throwing the following event and thus far I've found no information about the message or how to resolve it. I'm hoping someone here can help me figure this out.
Event Message: The watchdog time expired.
Severity: Critical
Detailed Description: The operating system or potentially an application failed to communicate to the baseboard management controller (BMC) within the timeout period.
Recommended Action: Check the operating system, application, hardware, and system event log for exception events.
Message ID: ASR0000
System Model: PowerEdge T620
Power State: ON
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2012, Standard x64 Edition
While I've been working in the desktop support world for a very long time, I'm fairly new to Dell servers. I'm trying to help another highly over-worked, over-stressed, administrator with this issue. Is someone can spare the time to help me learn where to look to gain more insight on what might be going on, I'd really appreciate it. I'm willing and able to learn so I can help take some work off a co-worker's plate. Thanks.

DRAC5 - out of space
I had some problems attaching media using Java applet on my DRAC5 card. So I updated it to the latest 1.65. The upgrade went fine, but I still couldn't attach media. So I logged in via SSH to do racadm racreboot. After the reboot I couldn't see the DRAC's website (connection reset). I logged in via SSH again and when I tried to refresh SSH keys, I got a message that the files cannot be created, because of no space left on the device. When I tried to see the keys I got an error message saying that the files are not found. When I rebooted again I got a message saying
cp: unable to open `/var/config/drachot.bak': No space left on device
cp: unable to open `/var/config/drac.cfg': No space left on device
How can I fix this?
