How do I open the telnet port in the Dell™ Remote Access Card (DRAC) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux's fencing agent to be able to access it?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Dell™ Remote Access Card (DRAC) provides remote access to controlling power to a server. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4's fencing agent logs into the DRAC through the telnet interface of the card. fence_drac agent can reboot, power off, power on and check the power status of the server. However, by default the telnet interface of the Dell™.Remote Access Card (DRAC) is not enabled.  How can I enable it?
