  • biet-mngt.ipmi.nikhef.nl is to reach the machine itself.
  • biet-mngt-oobm.ipmi.nikhef.nl to reach the ipmi/drac/oobm interface of the machine.

To access and configure the storage

Start the following command: /opt/dell/mdstoragesoftware/mdstoragemanager/client/SMclient

This will start the Dell storage managent software.
