For the records, I had to acces the second CMC via serial link.  I got a description of the cable here:  [URL] I setup a tftp server (local IP 192.168.0.86 on our network) and placed the firmimg.cmc file in the root folder of this TFTP server. Once connected to the CMC via serial cable, using a terminal emulator on a PC, I ran the 2 commands:    recover setniccfg -d                      /* to get the NIC working */    recover fwupdate -g -a 192.168.0.86  The update went smoothly and the CMC is now redundant and the standby CMC can be seen again from the web GUI.        
Hello, I want to install and configure a new M620 in a M1000e that already contains 8 M600 .... and I am not quite sure where to start.  We have iDRAC and iKVM. I dont know how to configure the network and enable iDRAC on the new blade and configure it from the web interface. Our firmware version for CMC is quite old  ( 1.30 ) . Should I first update that ?   What are the main steps to install and configure a new server on a m1000e ? How do I get keyboard+monitor access to the new server? Can you refer me to a document that would guide me through the steps ? Thanks Gilbert
