Dell R620 Idrac Initialization Error
2010 I recently got a good eBay deal on a DRAC 5 remote access card initializing idrac stuck for my Dell PowerEdge 2900 server. Well it seemed like a good deal until I installed the card and got this message on bootup:
Idrac Not Responding Rebooting
Remote Access Controller detected
!!*** Error: Remote Access Controller initialization failure***
RAC virtual USB devices may not be available... According to the seller, the card was a "working pull," but the box looked like it had been wrapped http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/956/t/18944147 around a basketball during shipment, so who knows what it endured underway. I spent an hour or so on the phone with Dell tech support and after confirming that the card was genuine, having me separately remove its two connector cables, and a few other tests, the rep concluded that the board was faulty. Flashing the ROM might help, but he checked the docs and confirmed that there is no way to flash the ROM if the card will not http://www.mcbsys.com/blog/2010/03/fixing-drac-5-error-remote-access-controller-initialization-failure/ initialize. I was not looking forward to the lengthy USPS insurance claim process. Read the Readme I happened to be working with another DRAC 5 this week and needed to upgrade its firmware to version 1.51 so it would work with Internet Explorer 8 (on Windows 7). Hey, what's this in the Readme about "CONFIGURING THE RAC CARD FOR FLASH RECOVER MODE"? Wow it sounds complicated—console port redirection, serial connection, command line junk. But what have I got to lose? It's worth a shot. And it worked! After following the instructions, the DRAC initialized correctly and was accessible from Ctrl-E during boot and, once configured, from a web browser. Update 01/07/2011: There's a chance you can find out what's wrong without going through the entire flash process. Once you have a COM connection, you should see some status information as soon as you turn on the server. See the last section of this article, “After the Recovery.” Readme with Pictures Here now the annotated readme in code font, with my comments in normal font: 1. Connect the RAC card to a TFTP server using a network cable to the system network or a cross-over cable to the host system. I used a network cable connected to the network's router. 2. Point the TFTP server root path to the folder containing the firmware update image, "firmimg.d5". To get this file, download the "Hard Drive" install from Dell, f_drac5v1
