XTZ's questions

I have a Poweredge 2650 with RAC 3.37 installed. Recently acquired the server and I have found some difficulty in setting up the RAC. On booting normally you can setup the IP, Gateway, Netmask and DNS in a regular boot up "Press Control + D to setup Remote Access" screen.

There is no where on this menu that allows you to set a RAC password!

So i set the system/setp passwords in the F2 setup bios page. no luck here either.

Throughout the trial I can ALWAYS get to the RAC login page.

"root"/"calvin"&systempassword do nothing for me.

Any thoughts guys/gals(i have to assume there atleast a few female geeks out there...)

Bios Rev of 2650 is A21.

I am a Jr Admin of a company who's boss seems to think its a good idea to get local admin rights to all users... I can't win until i take his job. We have some users who set the firewalls to disable all connections coming in.

How can I remotely reconfigure these firewalls without their knowledge?

Sure I could drive out grab the machine, do some things to get me fired to have things done correctly, but i'm looking for a simpler way to get this done.
