Wol on Poweredge 1800

Hi,

I have a PE1800 with a debian OS (kernel 2.6.32).

Result of lspci -vvv -nn :

With the command acpitool -W, I haven't the bus 03.07.0.

I know that wol works on this server but I don't why it's bad in my actual configuration.

I need your help to find a solution :)

Etudiant,

You can enable WOL in the Broadcom NICs Boot Agent. During POST you may see a banner message for the Broadcom NICs. Press Ctrl-S, and it will let you enable the WOL option through that menu. If you do not see the banner message for the Broadcom NICs at POST, then he banner is disabled. As the system begins POST hit CTRL-S (There will NOT be a prompt for this), hit it a few times till the boot agent starts.

Do you have a Drac installed on the servers? If so then it would probably be a better option for you than WOL.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for you answer.

I have already test CTRL + S during the boot.

I haven't WOL options in this interface ... I can only activate the PXE, change the time banner (5seconds),

I would to try to upgrade the NICs Boot Agent but it seem hard.

I haven't DRAC in the server.

I have this wiew when I do CTRL-S : <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

Hello, I'm comme back :emotion-14: !

I have installed Windows server 2003 on my Poweredge 1800.

I follow this "tutorial" : http://beagleelectronicsnews.blogspot.fr/2011/09/settings-for-wol-pe1800.html

I have enable the hibernation settings but it doesen't work ...

I try to update boot agent :

Port Network Address    Series      WOL      Flash Firmware                    Version

All firmwares are up to date. I need your help to understand what it's wrong ..
