Hi all, Sorry for the OT. Does anyone can share to how to reset an IBM Bladecenter Advance Management Module web access? Recently, I've got an IBM Bladecenter chassis E 8677. There's no one in the office who knows about the IP nor the password for it. Thank you,

IIRC, the default IP is in the 192.168.70.0/24 network. Default User/PW is USERID/PASSW0RD (zero, not "o"). I just can't find the doc on how to reset to defaults.
Regards,

The MM has a webserver running (if you can connect to it), that allows to reboot the whole MM. Blades are not affected (you can pull both MMs and the blades continue to work).
I absolutely hate that piece of hardware/software.

As already answered by someone else, the default IP is 192.168.70.125/24 and the default user/password is USER/PASSW0RD (with a zero and not o) If that doesn't work, you can still reset the whole MM config : http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0519.html?Open But i assume you already searched for that, right ?

The default IP is useless to him, unless he has a laptop or some other system connected to it cross-over or at least on the same switch. He's at home right now, I guess, so he should look for someone who does know the real IP of that MM. Because to reset it to factory-default, you've got to have physical access (at which point he could just removed it from the BC and plug it in again...).

Yes, that's why I can't wait to get to the office again first time in the morning tomorrow :) Thank guys. - -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 13:10:54 up 5:02, 2.6.24-18-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.

um, simply unplugging it is not going to reset it to factory defaults, as the config is stored in NVRAM.
when you've reset its IP and username per the page given http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0519.html?Open as the article says, it will default to DHCP, so you'll need to dig into your DHCP server's cache and find out what IP it was assigned based on its MAC address
If this network segment doesn't HAVE dhcp, you get to access it from a host on the SAME LAN segment which has had a 192.168.70.xxxx IP added ... you can 'remote desktop' to a windows machine on that vlan, or ssh -X to a 'nix system, and config said target to have an extra address 192.168.70.xxx then access the MM via a browser run on said remote host and reconfigure it.
whomever earlier 'knocked' the IBM AMM, I dunno, I think they are damn nifty, at least as nice as HP's iLO or Dell's DRAC.

Yep. The the OP didn't want to factory-reset it. Someone else brought-up that subject. He just wanted to reboot it (which is needed often...)

That was me. They require reboots from time to time, especially if you work a lot with them. Maybe it got better in later firmwares - but the problem was that they didn't stop working outright, they just didn't work 100%. While you were wondering why some particular thing didn't work, all that was needed was a reboot....
