418 iRMC S2/S3
Configuring the iRMC S2/S3 via SCCI and scripted configuration
12.2.1.3 Restrictions
All commands specified in the .pre file are normally executed sequentially. The
following are exemptions from this rule:
– To prevent broken network connectivity, commands for IPv4 and VLAN
network configuration are executed at the end of a command sequence.
– Currently, IPv6 configuration is limited to the configuration of the non-volatile
IPv6 configuration parameters.
As a workaround, you can proceed as follows:
1. Arrange your script as follows:
a) At the beginning of the script: Disable IPv6.
b) Configure IPv6 parameters.
c) At the end of the script: Enable IPv6
2. Submit the script from an IPv4 address.
– The SSL certificate and the related matching private key are executed at the
end of a command sequence. Both components must be present in the
same .pre file and are checked for matching each other.
– If a power management operation for the managed server or a reboot of the
iRMC S2/S3 is required or desired:
It is recommended (but not required) to run these commands in separate
command files. You can achieve this e.g. by splitting the configuration and
power management operations into separate tasks.
– Optional time delays between the execution of consecutive commands must
implemented outside the script.
For example, you can achieve this as follows:
1. Devide the script appropriately into separate scripts.
2. Use the functional range of the client to insert time delays between
sending the individual files.
