Colocrossing independent server IPMI connection and use

Login Panel

First of all, you must log in to the panel and check the ipmi information (you can also go to the mailbox to find emails)

If the IP of ipmi conflicts with the machine network segment, you need to empty the route. The test method is to open the IP address of ipmi to see if it can be opened, or open the console in the control panel. If it needs to be done, it will prompt you, and vice versa.

Login IPMI

Open your ipmi address in the browser and log in. You will see a mini black box, you can click on it to download the ipmi connection file for later use.

Configure JAVA environment

ipmi calls external JAVA, so a JAVA environment must be installed, but it cannot be the latest because the operator may not have upgraded the motherboard driver to the latest. It is recommended to download version 8U333 here.

After JAVA is installed correctly, open its configuration file, go to the "Security" tab, and enter the web address of ipmi into the "Exceptions" list

At this point we need to use the JAVA configuration file we just downloaded. We open it with Notepad. You can see the ipmi management address in it. Copy it and add it to the "Exceptions" of the JAVA security tab

Mount image

After everything is done, we need to use the configuration file we just downloaded again. Double-click it to open it, and what you see now is the true appearance of ipmi.

Since ipmi is used, the image installation system must be mounted. Since the server is located abroad and many people are in Buffalo, it will definitely be very slow to transfer large image installations. At this time, if you have an idle chick near Du Fu's computer room, you can DD Windows to operate it. Here, choose another installation method "netbootxyz"

Download netboot.xyz

Go to netboot.xyz to download the iso image file

Open the mount menu in ipmi and mount the image

Then restart the machine. If CDROM is the first boot item in your BIOS, then you can enter directly without doing anything. Otherwise, you need to press the F11 key during startup to enter the boot menu and select CDROM to boot

Configuration netboot.xyz

CC’s machine does not have ipv6 or DHCP server, so the netboot startup will be stuck in the no-IP state. Press Enter and enter the IP information we checked in the mailbox or panel above, and then successfully enter

Select network installation Choose your favorite system, here choose Debian for demonstration

Log in to the system

Use SSH tool to connect to the server. The username is: xidcn and the password is the password set by your new user

Enter su from the new user and enter the root password you set to switch to the root account

DD system

If the original system installed by the mirror is not to your liking, you can use the DD system. I usually use the DD system. The original system reboot and user sudo are quite annoying. The DD script I chose here is the script of the forum boss "Tianquan Xuanji". Of course it is also open source on github

You have manually entered the IP before installing the system. You can directly enter DD

without specifying the IP.

First download the script
