IPMI timeouts for Dell R630 machines?

[Jim Tilander]

Hi Mark,

The "IPMI over LAN" was not checked, you were correct. Thanks for pointing this out to me! After adding this, everything worked like a charm. Is there a way to auto enable this setting, or do we have to go into each machine and check this checkbox?

Cheers,
Jim
