Using IPMItool to reset Slot Names on m1000e
Hi,
I have the following command that should (???) reset the slot name for a powered-off server with ipmi enabled on the chassis:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H -U -P raw 0x06 0x58 0x02 0x00 0x05 0x04
There is something still missing as I still cannot get names to go blank on the chassis even with the server(s) off.
Can anyone pls help with the steps???
Thx,
John Bradshaw

Bradje1,
Are you getting any message back when running the ipmitool -I lanplus -H -U -P raw 0x06 0x58 0x02 0x00 0x05 0x04 command? If so what is the message being displayed?
The thing I notice is that the final part of the string (0x04) is telling it the slot name will be 4 characters. If you change that to 0x00 then it should remove.
Next I am trying to determine your end goal of this. It is far simpler, to access the CMC via it's interface and delete/assign the slot names directly, for an individual chassis,
You can do this via the Dracs racadm SETSLOTNAME command. Page 125 of this manual - http://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-m1000e_Developer%27s%20Guide6_en-us.pdf
Walks you through the command structure.
Let me know how it goes.

Hi Chris,
Once the drac had a reset done, the names disappeared after running the racadm command.
(The name in the Hostname would not disappear otherwise)
Thx for you help!!
