iDRAC 6 access & ipmitool
Hi all,
I would like to setup iDrac on one of my servers (R410) via ipmitool because I've only a ssh connexion on this server.
I've created a new user (myuser) with password:
$ ipmitool user list 1
ID Name Enabled Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit
2 root true true true true ADMINISTRATOR
3 myuser false true false false ADMINISTRATOR
But impossible to enable this new user. First weird problem even if I use this command:
$ ipmitool user enable
$ ipmitool user list 1
ID Name Enabled Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit
2 root true true true true ADMINISTRATOR
3 myuser false true false false ADMINISTRATOR
Second, when I try to connect on iDRAC web page, I've always this error after filled login/password:

OK, on my linux server, I've installed idracadm package downloaded from Dell's site but when I try to retrieve information, I've this error:
$ sudo idracadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking
ERROR: Failed to get object value.
===============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The RAC is unable to communicate with the BMC. This condition may
occur because of (1) no BMC is present, (2) missing or disfunctional
IPMI-related software components. Many RAC features depend on BMC
connectivity in order to work properly, and you may see failures
as a result.

How to enable get object value in racadm please ?
Thank you.
