I have a few Dell servers that I'm trying to configure Broadcom NIC teams and use the iDRAC 6. It seems that when I setup a broadcom Smart Load Balancing(TM) and Failover (SLB) team, I loose connection to the iDRAC, the Dell rep said that it was probably the Broadcom BACS locking the LOM. Is there a way to have both?
Team Software: BACS3 Version 12.2.9.0
NICS: BCM5709C

This was an issue with the 1.0 iDRAC6 firmware - it would fail when the NIC Teaming drivers kicked in on the Host operating system, this was seen with both Linux and Windows installations. The 1.5 iDRAC firmware resolves this - if you update that it should resolve your problem.
