Description

• metal-user has no Admin-Role after installation:
  {"time":"2026-04-21T11:02:09.254171386+02:00","level":"ERROR","msg":"could not establish outband connection to device bmc","mac":"30:3e:a7:40:11:1d","ip":"10.255.3.132","err":"unable to establish redfish connection for ip:10.255.3.132 user:root error:Get \"https://10.255.3.132/redfish/v1/\": dial tcp 10.255.3.132:443: connect: connection refused"}

  Quick-Fix:

    $ curl -X PATCH -sk https://$IP/redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts/3 \
    -u root:<pass> \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "UserName": "metal",
      "RoleId": "Administrator",
      "Enabled": true
    }'
  

• default serial is on com1, but debian is installed with console on ttyS1 (com2). And SerialComm is Off

  racadm>>racadm get BIOS.SerialCommSettings.SerialPortAddress
  SerialPortAddress=Com1
  
  racadm>>racadm get BIOS.SerialCommSettings.SerialComm
  SerialComm=Off
  

  Quick-Fix

  racadm set BIOS.SerialCommSettings.SerialComm OnConRedir
  racadm set BIOS.SerialCommSettings.SerialPortAddress Com2
  
  racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1 -r pwrcycle -s TIME_NOW
  

  (this leads to a power cycle)
