Hi Martin, You can use the Chassis Managment Controller to boot once from PXE or any other device. You can access the CMC via SSH, or use racadm <command + options> to run CMC commands remotely. Example: deploy -m <server-X> -b pxe -o yes serveraction -m <server-X> powercycle|powerup NOTE: If you use racadm you also have to specify the IP and user/password for CMC access. The above example would be a SSH session with the CMC. The above example will set Server-X, where X is the slot number, to boot from pxe once. Then the serveraction command can be used to powerup or powercycle the system The CMC Documentation is available here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/cmc/cmc3_0/en/arg /cmcadref.pdf These are the options for the deploy command: -b <device> Specifies the first boot device; must be used with -o. Use with -m <module> to specify for a individual server, or with -a for all servers Legal values: device=None, PXE, HDD, CD- DVD, vFDD, vCD-DVD, iSCSI, SD, FDD -o <no|yes> Indicates if the server should boot from the device once; must be used with -o. Use with -m <module> to specify for a individual server, or with -a for all servers Creates and enables an iDRAC root user if it does -a not already exist, and is executed on all the existing servers in the chassis Indicates that the <password> will be supplied -u root for the root user on the server. root is a constant parameter, the only value that is valid with the -u option. -m <module> Specifies the server you want to configure. Legal values: server-n, where n=1-16 -p <password> Specifies the password for the root user on the server.
