I have another problem with LOM remote. Server Monitor gets connected to all LOM IPs (using same Interface as for Server-IP) only in the same Network-Subnet. If i try to connect outside from another subnet, the LOM didn´t answer. Gateway IP in LOM – Settings is right, same as for the Server itself.

Strange Software…

Ok, so the documentation on this is terrible, but I finally figured it out and I figured I’d share a few key insights.

FIRST (and this isn’t explicitly stated anywhere) it is VERY important to note that there are TWO pieces to the Filemaker/OD puzzle:

1. Registering your FM server with the OD server
2. Using the OD server’s user lists to authenticate a particular database.

You can do either, or both. #1 is for using OD to DISCOVER the FM server, #2 is for using OD to authenticate to a given database.

#1 is complicated, and can be ignored. You only need it if you have a large network and if you want to use OD to tell clients about the FM server. This would create an entry in the OD server for the filemaker server. it involves DNS and a whole host of other messy issues. If you ignore it, then your Filemaker clients will use another protocol (Rendezvous/Bonjour/AppleTalk/TCPIP) to discover the FM database.

Part One is what i will need. We have > 15 FM8 Servers, and i didn´t find any help to bind the Servers to the OD in my OSXS 10.4 Servers. If you know how to do this, can you explain please?
