You can get the iDRAC to work on the same NIC without the OS knowing about it.. no need for teaming. I believe when we did this on Cisco switches we set the port to trunk mode and added the VLAN for the iDRAC on to the trunk on the switch and set the VLAN within the appropriate network settings in the iDRAC at ctrl+e. Then you set your switch port to have a native vlan of whatever the server OS should be on, and also need this vlan added to the trunk. The OS is then oblivious to the other vlan on the port but the DRAC should work also. If you don't have access to get port changes done then you might be out of luck unless you can put the DRAC on the other NIC? With regards remote management, you won't get console access with an iDRAC express but should get ability to do power control and see fan status etc. john _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
