  Configuring Your BMC Using Server Administrator

Before using the BMC Management Utility, configure certain items, such as the necessary system BIOS, network, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) encryption key, and serial connection settings, depending on the functionality to be performed, to enable access to the BMC.

NOTE: The IPMI encryption key is a public key that is used to generate an encryption key for use between the firmware and the application.

In addition, to utilize the BMC Management Utility IPMI serial functions, you must have a working connection between the management station and the correct serial I/O port of the target BMC, using a null modem cable.

This section describes the basic procedures you must perform to prepare your BMC to be accessed and managed using the BMC Management Utility. The following procedures are described:

• BIOS Configuration
  
  
• Baseboard Management Controller Configuration
  
  
• Configuring your BMC with the Dell™ OpenManage™ Deployment ToolKit (DTK) SYSCFG utility
  
  
• Configuring your BMC with Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
  
  

BIOS Configuration

For most configurations, you must configure the serial port settings and the console redirection settings in your system BIOS before you can use the BMC Management Utility. To configure the necessary system BIOS setting, your must enter the System Setup Program. The BIOS settings can also be configured using the Deployment Toolkit or the Server Administrator.

Using BIOS Console Redirection With SOL Proxy

Console redirection allows maintenance of a system from a remote location by redirecting keyboard input and output through the serial port. Any console-based feature or operating system can then be used to access the server. DR-DOS, Linux (init 3) and Windows® Special Administrative Console (SAC) are examples of operating systems and consoles that can be used to access the server.

By default, some operating systems, such as Windows Server™ 2003, are automatically configured to send text console output to the BIOS. Manual configuration of the Redirection after Boot feature through the system BIOS may not be visible to the operating system. This results in both, the operating system feature and the BIOS redirection feature, being enabled. Depending on the operating system and its setup, the results may vary. Dell recommends the following steps as good practice:

DR-DOS: Do not configure DR-DOS for serial console output. Enable console redirection after reboot in system BIOS.

Windows Special Administrative Console (SAC): Do not configure Windows SAC for serial console redirection. Enable console redirection after reboot in system BIOS.

Linux: Do not configure console redirection after rebooting the system BIOS. Do the tasks listed in the "Installation and Setup for Linux Operating Systems" section, to configure Linux for console redirection.

NOTE: See" Escape Key Sequences" for a list of keystrokes to be used for BIOS Setup operations from a serial terminal.

Baseboard Management Controller Configuration

You can perform basic BMC configuration using the Remote Access Configuration Utility during system startup. See Figure 2-1. For more advanced configuration options, see the instructions for the DTK SYSCFG utility in the Deployment Toolkit User's Guide.

The NIC teaming option is supported only on PowerEdge x9xx and xx0x systems. For more information about network teaming, see the documentation for the network interface controller.

Configuring Your BMC Using the Deployment Toolkit Utility

The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit SYSCFG utility includes a set of Microsoft® Windows PE and Linux-based utilities for configuring and deploying Dell systems. The Deployment ToolKit (DTK) SYSCFG utility is specifically designed to address all necessary BMC configuration tasks using a powerful and comprehensive command-line interface. This utility runs on PowerEdge 1435SC and all supported PowerEdge x7xx, x8xx, x9xx and xx0x systems.

To use the BMC Management Utility, configure your managed system with the SYSCFG utility by performing the following tasks:

• Obtain the latest version of DTK from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
  
  
• Create a BMC configuration CD containing a bootable image, and the SYSCFG utility.
  
  
• Configure BMC Users.
  
  
• Configure BMC SOL access.
  
  
• Configure BMC IPMI serial access.
  
  

Installation and Setup for Microsoft Windows PE Operating Systems

NOTE: See the Deployment Toolkit User's Guide for additional information about installing and using the utilities, and the Deployment Toolkit Command Line Interface Reference Guide for a complete list of valid options, suboptions, and arguments for using the SYSCFG.EXE to configure and manage your BMC.

The DTK components are provided as a self-extracting zip file on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. The self-extracting file can be opened on any system running a Microsoft Windows operating system, or it can be extracted at the Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe) using the PKUNZIP.EXE utility (not supplied with the Deployment Toolkit). By default, the dtk-2.X-winpe-AXX.exe files are extracted to the root directory of your local hard drive, for example, C:\. This location can be changed by giving a different path when extracting the file. Perform the following steps to extract the DTK components to a workstation running Windows:

1. Download the DTK file dtk-2.X-winpe-AXX.exe from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com and save it on a system running a supported Windows operating system.
   
   
2. After the zip file downloads, double-click the file.
   
   
3. Click OK.
   
   
4. Click Unzip.
   
   

By default, the DTK files are unzipped to C:\. The SYSCFG.EXE utility is located in the C:\Dell\Toolkit\Tools directory. Dell-provided drivers are located in the C:\Dell\drivers folder.

Creating a Bootable Windows PE 2005 ISO Image

NOTE: See Creating a Bootable Windows PE 2.0 ISO Image for information on creating a bootable CD for Windows PE 2.0.

Integration of DTK Directory Structure in the Windows PE Build

This task involves a five-step process:

1. Integrating DTK tools and scripts: Copy the folder \Dell that you unzipped from the Dell-supplied zip file to DellWinPEBuild, or extract the Dell-supplied file directly into the Windows PE build.
   
   
2. Installing necessary drivers into Windows PE: Execute \Dell\Drivers\DRIVERINST.BAT with two required arguments:
   
   
   • Path to DellWinPEBuild
     
     
   • Path where the Dell-provided drivers are located. These drivers can be found in the DTK zip file under the \Dell\drivers folder.
     
     
3. Adding support for mass storage drivers into Windows PE:
   

NOTE: You must implement this step to ensure mass storage drivers are installed into Windows PE.

In the winpeoem.sif file (available under I386\SYSTEM32 in your Windows PE directory), edit the following text to remove the semicolons from the Oem Driver Params section and append the directory names for the Dell-mass storage drivers:

OemDriverRoot=""
OemDriverDirs=MRAID, PERC4IM, PERC5, SAS5

NOTE: For your reference, a sample winpeoem.sif file is available under \Dell\Toolkit\template\Configs.

4. Starting required services: The mr2kserv service should be installed and started for RAID to function; the racsvc service should be installed and started for RACADM to function. For details on how to start the required services, see the sample winbom.ini file under \Dell\Toolkit\template\Configs.
   

NOTE: When booting the target system, ensure that the RAC and the mr2kserv services are running.

5. Extracting the following files from your Windows Server 2003 product CD to \Dell\Toolkit\Tools:
   
   
   • rpcns4.dll
     
     
   • rpcrt4.dll
     
     
   • rpcss.dll
     
     

NOTE: The directory name should not have any spaces.

You can now customize the Windows PE according to your requirements.

Creating a Bootable CD

Use the following steps to create bootable media that can be used to configure the BMC on a managed system:

1. Create a directory, WinPE_OPKTools, on your hard drive.
   
   
2. Insert the Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) CD into your CD drive.
   
   
3. Copy all CD files from the Windows PE directory to the WinPE_OPKTools directory.
   
   
4. Copy factory.exe and netcfg.exe from the CD drive \tools\x86 directory to the WinPE_OPKTools directory.
   
   
5. Remove the CD from the CD drive.
   
   
6. Create and name a directory on your development system hard drive. This is where the ISO file is stored.
   
   
7. Navigate to the WinPE_OPKTools directory through a command prompt.
   
   
8. Run the following command:
   
   

OSCDIMG -bETFSBOOT.COM -n <DELLWINPEBUILD>

ETFSBOOT.COM is part of the OPK tools and makes the Windows PE CD bootable. The following command line creates a bootable ISO image called Dellx86winpe.iso:

C:\WINPE_OPKTOOLS\OSCDIMG -bETFSBOOT.com -n c:\DELLWINPEBUILD

C:\FINALBUILD\Dellx86winpe.iso

9. Copy the SYSCFG.EXE utility to the root of the directory.
   
   
10. After you create an ISO image, you can use any CD-burning software to burn the image onto a CD.
    
    

You are now ready to use your bootable CD to configure the BMC on a managed system. See the Deployment Toolkit User's Guide for additional information.

Creating a Bootable Windows PE 2.0 ISO Image

If you are using Windows PE 2.0, download Windows Administrative Installation Kit (WAIK) from the Microsoft website. By default, WAIK is copied to the C:\Program Files\Windows AIK directory.

Integration of DTK Directory Structure in Windows PE Build

DTK provides a script, VPE_driverinst.bat, to pre-install the Dell drivers into a base Windows PE 2.0 image offline. Use the following steps to execute this script:

1. Open a command prompt on your system and change the directory to the location of VPE_driverinst.bat. For example:
   

cd C:\Dell\Drivers\winpe2.x

2. Execute VPE_driverinst.bat with two required arguments <WINPEPATH> and <DTKPATH>. For example:
   

VPE_driverinst.bat <WINPEPATH> <DTKPATH>

Where <WINPEPATH> is the destination path to create the directory structure for Windows PE 2.0 and <DTKPATH> is the path to Dell drivers in the extracted DTK toolkit. For example:

VPE_driverinst.bat C:\vistaPE_x86 C:\DELL\DRIVERS

NOTE: <WINPEPATH> is passed as the destination to the WAIK command copype.cmd. The destination folder C:\vistaPE_x86 is created as part of the process, and should not already exist.

Creating a Bootable CD

Use the following steps to create bootable media:

1. Click Start, navigate to All Programs® Microsoft Windows AIK.
   
   
2. Click Windows PE Tools Command Prompt to open a command prompt window.
   
   
3. Run the following command:
   

oscdimg -n -bc:\vistaPE_x86\etfsboot.com c:\vistaPE_x86\ISO c:\vistaPE_x86\WinPE2.0.iso

This command creates a CD bootable ISO image called WinPE2.0.iso.

4. You can use any CD burning software to burn the image onto a CD.
   

You are now ready to use your bootable CD to configure the BMC on a managed system. See the Deployment Toolkit User's Guide for additional information.

Installation and Setup for Linux Operating Systems

NOTE: See the Deployment Toolkit User's Guide for additional information about installing and using the utilities, and the Deployment Toolkit Command Line Interface Reference Guide for a complete list of all valid options, suboptions, and arguments for using the SYSCFG utility to configure and manage your BMC.

1. Obtain the ISO image of embedded Linux available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
   
   
2. Burn the ISO image using any commonly available CD burning software.
   

NOTE: When you create a bootable CD, this image is supplied to the CD burning software along with the complete deployment directory structure, which includes all necessary supporting files to perform the deployment.

3. The CD burning software creates an image of the self-bootable ISO image and the deployment files on the CD.
   
   
4. Extract the contents of the ISO image to a folder on your hard drive.
   
   
5. Copy your custom scripts into the folder you created in step 4.
   

NOTE: Your scripts should also take care of copying miscellaneous items to unlock the CD, so that the CD can be mounted and ejected as required by the operating system's installation process.

6. In /mnt/cdrom/isolinux.cfg, the cd install section points to your customized start-up script.
   

NOTE: The scripts that you copy into the CD will be copied to and run from the RAM disk. This task is done to ensure the CD is not locked. Ensure that your sample scripts have valid path names.

7. Copy the directory structure created in your work station, into the root folder that you created in "step 4".
   
   
8. This folder contains the DTK CD files necessary for operating system installation, and files required for replication.
   
   
9. Use the isolinux utility to burn the contents of the folder you created in "step 7" to a CD and make it bootable.
   
   
10. Your ISO image is ready for booting.
