Need some Esxi commands to get the adapter info and IP for the Cisco CIMC(Out Of Band Management) Port!
Need some Esxi commands to get the adapter info and IP for the Cisco CIMC(Out Of Band Management) Port!
We have a Cisco UCSC-C220-M3BE running Esxi 5.1.0, 1065491
We do not know the IP for the CIMC(Out Of Band Management) Port and we need to remotely manage the physical server to troubleshoot a local disk issue! We are trying to avoid having to go down to the datacenter and physically connect to the server.
I was wondering if there are any Esxi commands we can run from an ssh into the esxi host that will give us any info on the NIC adapter for that specific port and possibly discover what the IP is?
This Port is not used by ESXi for managment. It is the Out Of Band Management NIC specifically for remote management to the Physical server itself.
Any help would be appreciated

You don't have access to the Cisco UCS Manager?

Hi, its not a blade server so there is no UCS Manager.
We do have Cisco CIMC Supervisor, which we already tried to do a discovery of all the subnets we think the IP could possibly be on and found nothing

ONLY if you have the vCenter plugin installed? https://community.cisco.com/t5/unified-computing-system/can-i-find-cimc-ip-address-through-vsphere/td-p/2543807
You can try that enum command, but I've not tried it myself, so I can't comment.

This is interesting. But we are running vcenter version 6.5 and if you read the comments in that link, towards the bottom, someone mentions that the Hardware Tab was taken out in 6.0

no choice but to go down to the datacenter and reset the CIMC manually by rebooting the esxi host.
