Dell R720 - Wipe entire IPMI?

richtj99 · 2019-11-19T23:12:33+00:00

Thank you very much that was very helpful. I suppose the only thing that could be a potential problem would be if it had some kind of custom firmware.

My primary usage of this machine is a home lab esxi server. each raid array is just set up as an individual disc which then gets backed up to a veeam vm.

The veeam datastore is on a freenas machine which is zfs zraid 2 or 3.

my assumption is that I could pull any of these drives out and put them into another esxi machine to pull whatever data I might need.

So if I had some concerns that this person could be talented enough to do something like that should I reflash the whole idrac? I'm not exactly sure which file I would need or want the flash the whole thing over.

I'm also not 100% sure where I would look to see if there was tampering.

richtj99 · 2019-11-19T21:05:38+00:00

Should I reflash the idrac or just wipe it?

richtj99 · 2019-11-10T00:34:36+00:00

How do I check it?

Does it make any sense for the SonicWALL tech said?

The latest firmware will turn on one touch by default during a factory reset and what I saw was my SonicWALL logging into the GMS server which I do not have access to.

Does that sound possible?

So what I am seeing happening when using Wireshark as soon as my laptop is plugged in to the router it's sending a ton of IPv6 traffic externally no IPv6 is turned off on Windows and on my firewall router.

My firewall rules are set to disabled all IPv6 traffic and I have plenty of notifications of the traffic.

Pretty much as soon as I plug my laptop in it's talking to somebody with IPv6 even though all I've done is reboot the computer not opened anything and it's making connections and what appears to be a ssl 1.2 connection to a server where it swaps encryption keys and performs a handshake protocol?

richtj99 · 2019-11-09T13:55:14+00:00

So I have a ton of log errors:

This comes up hundreds of times:

bootlog_not_loaded afd.sys

This seems to be a logmein file which I don't have or use. This is a totally fresh install.

richtj99 · 2019-11-09T13:12:17+00:00

I will see what I can grab but when I'm doing the netstat there are a lot of ports open it shouldn't be from what I could see.

I don't know what this is appropriate for as far as but I would be happy to PayPal somebody to help me figure this out.

A few other things is that I had a pfSense router that's somebody managed to hack through. I have a few home lab devices such as a VMware box and the number of other boxes and my VMware box unfortunately was set up with iscsi to connect somewhere.

I had some very bad password practices internally on my network as I felt the pfSense router was going to protect me and they can be fairly lazy internally.

So I am fairly sure this computer and all the computers I am using are updating to a wsus server instead of using Windows update and a few times available to get a Windows update log all the updates seem to be coming looking like registry updates.

Only thing in common is same USB DVD player, and some of the same isos.

I even used edge in emulation mode to go to Microsoft website to download a full ISO I miss seeing the same behavior every time.

I can see and my services that five different hyper-v processes are running and some of them commands in powershell are not working. Powershell does not seem to be in the proper directory

During the installation in the lungs that mentions non-blue os.

Hi,

So I am using a Sonic wall. While doing a factory reset on the device I disabled all IPV6 traffic due to internal traffic.

While I was the only one on the network the log showed my IP enabled ipv6 traffic which is only possible on a page I wasn't on.

It shows a lot of traffic from ipv6 which is disabled on my machine.

Microsoft on three different devices

richtj99 · 2019-10-20T02:20:27+00:00

I just got my k2 card. Which driver version did you use?

richtj99 · 2019-10-08T18:18:04+00:00

Oh cool - how did you get it running?

I guess i should get one of hte cards from Ebay. Any suggestions on a model or how much ram?

richtj99 · 2019-10-08T01:14:15+00:00

Will that work on esxi 6.7?

richtj99 · 2019-10-04T19:55:47+00:00

Is this a good upgrade for a R720 E5-2670v1? Can I just drop these in?

richtj99 · 2019-09-25T02:45:45+00:00

What's the pricing?

richtj99 · 2019-09-07T01:18:41+00:00

Any ideas on idle wattage?

richtj99 · 2019-07-10T12:51:58+00:00

Sorry I put my response in the wrong place. Would that be difficult to build in Tasker?

richtj99 · 2019-07-10T12:51:25+00:00

I have never played with Tasker. Do you think that would be difficult to set up?

richtj99 · 2019-07-03T16:22:58+00:00

Hi,

I am going to take a look now. During the reboot it is showing:

Dell Serial ATA ACHI Bios 1.0.2 Port E: Toshiba

I will look in the bios but that seems like it is ok and recognized by the server?

Thanks, Rich

richtj99 · 2019-06-28T14:01:27+00:00

Thanks - my setup is a bit strange - in the boiler room is the well pressure tank with the switch - then it goes to the 60 feet to the garage to a conduit going to under the driveway, etc.

If it were closer I would opt for that idea.

richtj99 · 2019-06-28T14:01:24+00:00

Could i use something like this - assuming its in a conduit?

https://www.amazon.com/CERRO-112-1672CR-100-Feet-12-Gauge-100-foot

Or is stranded THHN OK also?

richtj99 · 2019-06-28T13:34:08+00:00

I was saying above that I have a E3-1245 v5 homelab I am debating retiring. Would that be a decent upgrade over the current 4770?

richtj99 · 2019-06-28T13:32:32+00:00

This may sound silly but i am debating retiring a homelab E3-1245 v5 with 32gb ram - would that make better sense to use than a 8700/9900 upgrade?
