You shouldn't have to do anything like that. I literally downloaded the link I gave to a usb drive, booted to it, and it asked me a bunch of questions about frusdr along the way.
I downloaded Download S2600 BIOS and Firmware Update, Configuration Utilities for Windows*/Linux*/WinPE/UEFI that and then the uefi thing and put it on my usb stick and ran the .efi file and I used a config file i got from the winpe tools seeing as it was not included in the uefi tools, but when I use that methode it throws up file not found.
I would expect that you should just run the .nsh files from the UEFI shell, such as just running the UpdateFRUSDR.nsh file. The contents of which is simply:
echo -off
cls
echo ""
echo FRUSDR rev 1.11 is being installed.
frusdr -cfg master.cfg
echo ""
echo FRUSDR Update Completed.The fault is not in the .nsh file, its the config file that I think is looking for a file that it cannot find and therefore it throws up "Error:File not found.". Could you please share the all the files that you used. Thanks
I'm using the S2600CP2J board with a P4000M chassis; I didn't need anything other than running the .nsh files.
Aside from the USB redirection how does it differ from something like remote desktop or VNC which are free?
The KVM unlocked by the RMM4lite module allows remote KVM access to the system prior to any OS being loaded, so you get full KVM access to the POST process etc. You can remotely view/control the system as it's booting so you can adjust any system settings, etc that you normally could via locally attached keyboard/video/mouse...
I use the RMM modules on different motherboards.
Doesn't the BMC console also give you the some of the same pre-OS stuff (to a point)? How responsive is their KVM in the OS if you're running something like 1280x1024? It it comparable to remote desktop (on a LAN)?
With all iKVM implementations to date I use iKVM for pre-boot, OS install, and "uh oh" scenarios. I use SSH or other programs for remote access within the OS.
That's quite the deal considering the current motherboard situation for LGA 2011, no less the feature loaded one you got.
Want me to move this to the DIY build forum?Finally got my setup worked out and wanted to share and help others out.
This is an ESXi server that I use in my test lab running all sorts of security appliances like: firewalls, web filters, antispam gateways, DLP, endpoint protection, etc. etc.
It's hard to find used socket 2011 motherboards these days so I went with ebay and a brand new Gigabyte GA-7PESH2 for less than $250.
It seemed like a screaming deal to me considering it has an LSI SAS 2008 on board, 2 x 10GB NIC's as well as a dedicated IPMI port.
HSF mounting is square ILM so that makes things a little easier when trying to cool both CPU's in a smaller case.
I went with the Noctua's instead of the SuperMicro HSF, and I don't have them to compare, but these are whisper quiet and clear the ram easily.
Pretty funny that the HSF's cost almost as much as the CPU's. Crazy times!!
I was looking at a Nzxt S340 case to try and squeeze them into a really tiny enclosure but I went a little bigger as I may end up going with watercooling at some point and there is plenty of room in the top and front of the case to make that happen
It's still a really tight squeeze but all I really needed to do was cut about .75 of an inch off the back corner of the drive cage.
I am going to add a few standoff's as well, but I think about 6 or so lined up without any issues
I still need to get a SAS breakout cable and get the onboard LSI controller working
CPU: 2 x E5-2670

I purchased Intel AXXRMM4 Remote Management Module New Bulk Packaging from these guys for $15 +shipping; this is the AXXRMM4 NIC module kit, AND the AXXRMM4LITE key (that's needed to unlock the iKVM and USB Media Redirection features). Unfortunately, they are out of that particular model...
I wish I would have seen that listing before I ordered other parts from them since they combine shipping and it wouldn't have cost me any shipping to add.
The download link that was give a couple pages ago was what I used so I got the .nsh file from a diferent download but that file does nothing but excecute the frusdr.efi with the master.cfg and the cfg file is looking for something that isnt there. I think the one I downloaded might not be the one I need for my chassis and I cant really find one that does work with mine so could you please provide the download link that you used or the config files? Thanks
To clarify, your board is the S2600IP?
