Issue with downloading avctKVM

[ghost]

I have few Dells with iDrac 6 Enterprise. Web interface, console, etc, all work however, when running this script, I get:

wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Failed to download avctKVM.jar, please check your settings

[services.d] stopping services

Hope you can assist with why I am getting this error.

Can you try directly requesting https://<idrac ip>/software/avctKVM.jar from your host? Did you add https:// to your IDRAC_HOST variable by accident?

[ghost]

I cant! I am using the IP directly and not FQDN like so:

sudo docker run -p 5800:5800 -p 5900:5900 -e IDRAC_HOST=192.168.10.10 -e IDRAC_USER=[USER] -e IDRAC_PASSWORD=[PASSWORD] domistyle/idrac6

I can logon to iDrac and download console viewer jnlp file, however, I cant go to your /software/avctKVM.jar link. I wonder if this was changed, when I open my downloaded .jnlp file with text editor, I see the following:

I can successfully download https://192.168.10.10/Applications/dellUI/Java/release/JViewer.jar or any of the other jar files listed in that text, but nothing else

Are you using iDRAC 5? If so, check out https://github.com/ncerny/docker-idrac. It supports iDRAC 5 and iDRAC 6.

[ghost]

Thank you for the link. When I log on my servers show iDrac 6 Enterprise. I tried the other repo but also did not work. I think I will just stick with a local VM for now. I was just hoping for an easier way.

Thanks again for all the efforts.

[DomiStyle]

I have never seen an iDRAC 6 that loads a JViewer.jar, what iDRAC version are you running? All my servers with iDRAC 6 Enterprise work fine with the container.

[ghost]

Sorry for the delayed response. I have a Dell M610 that originally came with iDrac5 but after the firmware updates, it now says iDrac 6 Enterprise. I tried the iDrac 5 docker image in your link and still did not work. I will post the error there for reference but this is what I get

[ghost]

Welp, cant post the issue there :/ I am trying this on Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 btw with the same results

[DomiStyle]

I took a look at the forked iDRAC image and it seems like the version detection works by requesting https://${IDRAC_HOST}/page/login.html for iDRAC 5 and https://${IDRAC_HOST}/images/Ttl_2_iDRAC6_Ent_ML.png for iDRAC 6.

In your case neither exists because your log never shows you reaching either version. So it seems like you have some strange mixture between iDRAC 5 and iDRAC 6 going on.

I pulled the changes and removed the version check to force iDRAC 5. As soon as the image is built you can use domistyle/docker-idrac6:dell-m610 and give it a try.

Thank you so much for helping me out with this! However, can you please edit the download link from: https://IP_ADDRESS/Java/release/JViewer.jar to: https://IP_ADDRESS/Applications/dellUI/Java/release/JViewer.jar

I can manually download the file with https://IP_ADDRESS/Applications/dellUI/Java/release/JViewer.jar but not with the /Java/release/ URL

I also used domistyle/idrac6:dell-m610 to pull the image ;)

I can manually download the file with https://IP_ADDRESS/Applications/dellUI/Java/release/JViewer.jar but not with the /Java/release/ URL

Updated the image, hopefully the paths are correct now.
