Hi,

What is the firmware version on M1000E? Make sure the firmware version of CMC is latest to be discovered through WSMAN. For older versions only SNMP is supported.

Also do you need snmp opened or just port 443 is open need for OME ?. Do I need to do anything on the idrac configuration  for servers and M1000e?

Hi,

So CMC version 4.45 is not good to discover the M1000E chassis using WSMAN. Can you run WSMAN test through troubleshooting tool which gets installed with OME against this chassis IP and check if you are able to connect?

For all the port configurations related to individual protocol, you can go through the support documents present at www.dell.com/.../manuals

yeah i can connect. This is the result of troubleshooting tool

Ok, does your discovery wizard have WSMan and only WSMan selected?  And the checkboxes on that page are all checked?

Thanks,

Rob

is upgrading CMC disruptive to blades and storage running ?

For M1000e. Just WSMAN

Thanks for the information.

Can you try one more thing from the system where you have installed OpenManage Essentials for us to drill down into the problem:

- Run the following winrm command replacing the ipaddress/credentials of the CMC you are trying to discovery via OME:

winrm e cimv2/root/dell/cmc/DCIM_ModularChassisView  -u: -p: -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic

Note: We support discovery of M1000E CMC via WSMAN from F/W version 5.0 and above.

Based on the above output, the CMC should be classified properly without upgrading the CMC Firmware.

One last check (though they are default settings with OME 2.1):

- The checkboxes Secure mode, Skip Common name check, and Trusted site are checked on the Ws-Man configuration tab?

If yes to above, I will suggest to call support guys to have a closer look 800-945-3355.

Thanks,
Vijay.

only WSMan
