He's at home right now, I guess, so he should look for someone who
does know the real IP of that MM.
Because to reset it to factory-default, you've got to have physical
access (at which point he could just removed it from the BC and
plug it in again...).
um, simply unplugging it is not going to reset it to factory
defaults, as the config is stored in NVRAM.
Yep.
The the OP didn't want to factory-reset it.
Someone else brought-up that subject.
He just wanted to reboot it (which is needed often...)
when you've reset its IP and username per the page given
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0519.html?Open
as the article says, it will default to DHCP, so you'll need to dig
into your DHCP server's cache and find out what IP it was assigned
based on its MAC address
If this network segment doesn't HAVE dhcp, you get to access it from
a host on the SAME LAN segment which has had a 192.168.70.xxxx IP
added ... you can 'remote desktop' to a windows machine on that
vlan, or ssh -X to a 'nix system, and config said target to have an
extra address 192.168.70.xxx then access the MM via a browser run on
said remote host and reconfigure it.
whomever earlier 'knocked' the IBM AMM, I dunno, I think they are
damn nifty, at least as nice as HP's iLO or Dell's DRAC.
That was me.
They require reboots from time to time, especially if you work a lot
with them.
Maybe it got better in later firmwares - but the problem was that they
didn't stop working outright, they just didn't work 100%.
While you were wondering why some particular thing didn't work, all
that was needed was a reboot....
