Google it, it's there. Oddly it is only on the firmware download page under fixes, not in the release notes. Here's the link I got it from: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R253040&SystemID=PWE_2950&servicetag=&os=RHEL5&osl=en&deviceid=8735&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=7&catid=36&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=36&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=370427 But ultimately I that relying on break to pass SysRq is fragile. Better would be an explicit racadm command. Since the DRAC5 emulates a USB keyboard, this should be possible. Xen, a hypervisor, uses syntax "xm sysrq X" for this same function. A similar syntax in the DRAC5, sending commands via USB, would be robust. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
