Today I spent some time playing with/learning about the Dell Remote Access Controller that our 2650's, and other similar boxen, are configured with.
The DRAC provides functionality for console redirection, server managment (power cycling!), hardware status monitoring, and other things. The web interface is slow and horrible, however, there IS a nice command-line tool for both Linux & Windoze to query, configure, and access the remote management functionality.
The first thing needed is the racadm utility. RPMs for linux (and apprpriate windows utilities) can be found on the Dell Openmanage CD, or, off the Dell website.
Documentation from the 'racadm' utility can be found here.
So, basically, the plan is to configure all of the remote managment ports on our systems that support it, change their passwords, and have the racadm utility easily accessable from console.umbc.edu for rebooting/querying/whatever the managed servers. It also looks like it's possible to get the DRAC to speak SNMP (it looks like it does, at least) so that we can monitor hardware states...
I also found this article intersting, as it discusses changing the default "root" password of "calvin"
