Step 2 - Enable BMC Console using IPMI commands:

After the server is back online, execute the ipmi commands to enable the BMC Web Console: (IPMITool Download)

  1. Make sure the command prompt is on an elevated level (administrator mode);
  2. From the server North Pass the original commands:
    #ipmitool -I lanplus -H<IP Address of BMC Console> -U<account BMC User> -P<password BMC User> raw 6 0x40 1 0x42 4
    #ipmitool -I lanplus -H<IP Address of BMC Console> -U<account BMC User> -P<password BMC User> raw 0x32 0x6a 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x62 0x6f 0x74 0x68 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xbb 1 0 0 8 7 0 0 0 0
  3. If the command above fails, from the server North Pass, please try omitting the parameters, and run the command as follows:#ipmitool raw 6 0x40 1 0x42 4
    #ipmitool raw 0x32 0x6a 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x62 0x6f 0x74 0x68 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xbb 1 0 0 8 7 0 0 0 0

    The results should be with no error message:

  4. If the command still fails, from the server North Pass, run the following command and send back the output for support analysis: Intel Support
    #ipmitool -vv raw 6 0x40 1 0x42 4
