Nice Post. Saved me a buttload of time trying to wade my way through dell documention looking for standard ports. Has anyone seen a way to forward a particular VM id to an enterprise drac? I find it’s useless for ESX (the drac) , as all you can do is power cycle the host. Would be nice to find a way to re-direct a particular console vm id.

@Goeldi: DRAC = Dell Remote Access Controller; this is a Dell card, and I doubt you will see this on a standard PC.

Does this card run only with Dell Computers or with any standard PC?

@Matt: DRAC is by definition slow . We are running various dell servers with various drac firmware’s (v4 and v5 based) but haven’t noticed that some particular version is *fast*. We usually upgrade to the latest firmware and most of the time we are uptodate.

Have you notice that your DRAC is amazingly slow? Mine all are. A reader on my blog said that the latest firmware fixed their issues, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
