Accessing a Dell SCV2020 Without Username / Password
Hello everyone,
Im working at a company which purchased another company, who ultimately ended up acquiring some hardware from the international location.
Of these items, we received a Dell SCV2020.
I haven't really worked with anything like this before, but after doing some research through the forums here and it seems that it may be very difficult to be able to access the management interfaces using the Dell Storage Manager Client, without the username / password. I've tried the defaults and talking to previous employees in that company. They had a remote IT company manage all of their hardware, so nobody has any knowledge of the credentials....
After doing a bit of research i found some threads that mentioned using a unlock.py USB key to by pass the login... but this would require talking to Dell Tech support...
So i tried to follow that avenue and see if they could help me. Well the device is out of warranty and they wanted a $1000 service fee to trouble shoot it, or pay $1500 - $3000 to extend the warranty and receive more support. We dont want any of the data on the drives, we just want to integrate this into our current server setups and use them as additional storage.
So at this point I've been able to use wireshark to see what the IPs for the device is and have narrowed it down to two addresses...
192.168.50.99 (BMC) I can SSH into this, but dont have the credentials....
10.51.106.179 This is the same MAC as the 192.168.50.99, but all ports and connections here are blocked...
Any suggestions or help in this case? We just want to utilize this hardware, and at this point if we can access the management interface or anything to configure it, its basically useless to us, which is a bit disappointing.
