RAC and serial configuration to the original default settings. After reset, the default 
name and password is root and calvin, respectively, and the IP address is 
192.168.0.120. If you issue racresetcfg from a network client (for example, a 
supported Web browser, telnet/ssh, or remote RACADM), you must use the default 
IP address.

(57600) and COM port. The serial settings may need to be reconfigured through the 
BIOS setup screen for the server in order to access the RAC through the serial port.
