The iKVM firmware has detected a hardware error. For additional information, view the iKVM status.

The iKVM is tiered through the ACI port to an external KVM switch, but all of the entries for the ACI connections are
unavailable.
All of the states are showing a yellow dot in the OSCAR interface.
The front panel connection is enabled and has a monitor connected. Because the front panel has precedence over all
other iKVM connections, the ACI and rear panel connectors are disabled.
To enable your ACI port connection, you must first disable front panel access or remove the monitor connected to the
front panel. The external KVM switch OSCAR entries become active and accessible.
To disable the front panel using the Web interface, go to iKVM → Setup tab, clear the Front Panel USB/Video Enabled
option, and click Apply.
To disable the front panel using RACADM, open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and type:
racadm config -g cfgKVMInfo -o cfgKVMFrontPanelEnable 0
In the OSCAR menu, the Dell CMC connection displays a red X, and it is not possible to connect to CMC. Why?
There are two possible causes:

The Dell CMC console has been disabled. In this case, enable it using either the CMC Web interface or RACADM.

CMC is unavailable because it is initializing, switching over to the standby CMC, or reprogramming. In this case,

simply wait until CMC finishes initializing.

The slot name for a server is displayed as "Initializing" in OSCAR, and it cannot be selected it. Why?
Either the server is initializing or the iDRAC on that server failed initialization.
Initially, wait for 60 seconds. If the server is still initializing, the slot name appears as soon as initialization is complete,
and the server can be selected.
If, after 60 seconds, OSCAR still indicates that the slot is initializing, remove and then re-insert the server in the chassis.
This action allows iDRAC to reinitialize.

IOM

After a configuration change, sometimes CMC displays the IP address as 0.0.0.0.
Click the Refresh icon to see if the IP address is set correctly on the switch. If an error is made in setting the IP,mask,
or /gateway, the switch does not set the IP address and returns a 0.0.0.0 in all fields.
Common errors are:

Setting the out-of-band IP address to be the same as, or on the same network as, the in-band management IP

address.

Entering an invalid subnet mask.

Setting the default gateway to an address that is not on a network that is directly connected to the switch.

For more information on IOM network settings, see the

Dell PowerConnect M6220 Switch Important Information

document and the

Single Sign On

Though CMC is setup to allow Single Sign-On (SSO), the browser displays a blank page.
Only Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers are supported at this time for SSO. Check the browser settings for
the correct setup. For more information, see the

Configuring Browser for SSO Login

section.

If the browsers are configured correctly, both browsers must allow you to log in without entering the name and
password. Use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the CMC. For example, myCMC.Domain.ext/ in the Address
