What kind of security meassure ? What is the reason for not allowing "power on" ?

Hello Eduard Krizan,

In previous versions you could not use IPMI to power on a PowerStore system. In newer versions of PowerStore software you can use IPMI to power on.  Here are some Key Details of note:

• IPMI Tool: Utilize the IPMITool Utility to manage PowerStore nodes remotely.
• Connection: Use the Serial-over-LAN (SOL) protocol for console access.
• IP Addresses:
  • Node A: 128.221.1.252
  • Node B: 128.221.1.253
• Command Example:
• exe -I lanplus -C 3 -U console -P <system service tag> -H 128.221.1.252 sol activate
• Prerequisites: Ensure the PowerStore is powered on and the correct password (Dell EMC Service Tag in all caps) is used.

Hello,

  it gives the same error message with ( PowerStoreT-LTS2026-4.3.1.0-2662695-retail.tgz.bin )

ipmitool.exe -I lanplus -C 3 -U console -P <our tag> power on 
Set Chassis Power Control to Up/On failed: Insufficient privilege level

Is the 4.3.1 too old ? Since which version should this work ?

It seems the IP of the IPMI is not possible to change as well. This is causing issues/limitations for the IMPI console use, since the same settings are used on each Dell Powe Store ( we use multiple 500T ). 

Kind regards

Eduard.

Hello Eduard Krizan,

It is best to open a support case so that we can pull some logs and run some commands to see what is going on.

@DELL-Sam L​ I guess you mean, you can only reboot Node via IPMItool with a laptop connected on the Serial. Not remotely, right?

Hello Sebastien.TRICHARD,

If a PowerStore system is rebooted remotely, it can lead to connectivity issues and alerts. This is why it is recommended that you reboot the system onsite and not remote.

No. This action is prevented, as a security measure.
