OME Version 4.4.1

Hi,

i have OME Version 4.4.1 and its set for private IP like 10.2.x.x as primary. When i use firmware/driver compliance for idracs (9+) its ok, but only if they are on private IP. When i try with idracs (discover works fine) with public IP it said:

Job state for JID_532985530340 is FAILED
Mount of remote share failed.

When i change CIFS (v2) to HTTPS i got:
Unable to update the Chassis firmware, communication with Chassis Management Controller/Management Module took more time than expected.


So there is timeout. I added public IP to OME, but when i test it, there is no listen for port 80/443 or ping.
Is possible to have 2 working IP in OME ?

MY second IP looks fine in OME GUI:

Interface (ens192)
Network Settings
DNS Domain Name:
FQDN:
IPv4 Settings
IPv4 Enabled: Yes

Just tryin to solve this problem. Cuz now i must update public idrac manually and its about 250 servers.

I havent fully understand why you use 2 IPs for your OME but you can configure how OME place its "identity" within the Jobs definition on the iDRAC.  You can choose between IP or FQDN. If you choose the later one if fully relays on how the iDRAC perform the DNS lookup.

When I was using only one IP (internal), the iDRACs with public IPs couldn’t connect (in terms of file share for firmware updates). That’s why I assigned a public IP to OME as well. Unfortunately, although it appears as valid in OME, it doesn’t resolve in any way (no ping, no response on ports like 80/443).

Currently, I have it set IP instead of FQDN.

If i try FQDN i got:
Unable to transfer the file because an unsupported host name is entered.

You have configured a FQHN for your OME?

Yeah, FQDN, DNS Domain name, DNS servers, Certificate. Everything is configured.

Hello,

 

it seems that mount of remote share failed. It means iDRAC could not reach out to OME CIFS or HTTPS share to get the firmware.

 

We request that you that make sure all required ports are open.

Hello,

here is the list of ports:

PORT    STATE    SERVICE  
137/tcp filtered netbios-ns  
138/tcp filtered netbios-dgm  
139/tcp open     netbios-ssn  
443/tcp open     https  
445/tcp open     microsoft-ds  
As I mentioned earlier, there’s no problem uploading and updating firmware when using internal IP addresses.
The issue arises with public IPs, which are unable to reach back into the internal network, as shown below:


racadm>>ping 10.x.x.x  
ERROR: Unable to perform requested operation.  
racadm>>ping 8.8.8.8    
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.  
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=120 time=0.244 ms  

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---  
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms  
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.244/0.244/0.244/0.000 ms  

That's why I'm interested in using a secondary IP that would be on a public address.
Since I need to keep the OME itself and its GUI within the internal network.

The iDRAC will try to reach your OME Installation.

  1. So the question is which IP of your OME is used within the iDRAC Job.
  2. If you choose the FQHN option the iDRAC need to resolve this 

We choose HTTPS rather CIFS because less ports needs to be open within the Firewalls.

There is a KB about Multi-Homed OME   under https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_software_int/esuprt_software_ent_systems_mgmt/dell-openmanage-enterprise_white-papers_en-us.pdf
