The iDrac can't be reached after selecting shared NIC

Hi,

Answer to B, I don't think you can do configuration to the switch to gain access to the iDRAC Shared LOM. I've tried to check in our test units, though I don't have full admin access to the chassis CMC, I can't be 100% say there isn't a setting that you can configure the M620's iDRAC interface selection. I can only find IP address configuration. So, the only way I can think of, is to try use RACADM on the chassis CMC. Here's the RACADM CLI user guide: https://dell.to/3WKb4o6. 

Can you try racadm getniccfg [-m ] to check if you are able to pull the information of the iDRAC. If yes, try:

racadm -r <CMC_IP> -u <username> -p <password> -m server-1 set iDRAC.NIC.Selection 1 ; in which of the server slot resides, server-N obtained from racadm getmodinfo

@DELL-Joey C​  thank you for your reply. 


I run racadm remotely and the output of "racadm <-r with credential> -m server-n getniccfg" 

Here is the output:

Running "racadm -r <CMC_IP> -u <username> -p <password> -m server-1 set iDRAC.NIC.Selection 1" 

I get:  Invalid option -m specified
