I have a single Supermicro Host that has just gone into colo with dedicated IPMI.
I have assigned it a static internet facing IP for remote management. I have configured the IPMI to only be accessible from 2 IPs (Office dedicated + VPN) and the datacenter lets me nullroute the IP myself when not in use - so its not really "internet facing." Web Interface works fine, and allows me access bios level KVM, monitor hardware etcetera.
I'm trying to install the operating system remotely by Mounting an ISO using its built in Console Redirect. The console itself works but attempting to mount virtual media just outputs the following:
Device 1 :Can not connect to Server!!
Device 2 :Can not connect to Server!!
Device 3 :Can not connect to Server!!
And the ISO doesn't mount. I've also tried connecting with IPMIView and this doesn't even detect the IPMI is up (it is, since web interface works). I should have successfully opened Port 623 (virtual media) on both my desktop firewall and my router.
Has anyone seen this before? Google wasn't helpful and the error message is very vague - hoping its not something really simple i'm missing!
