Table 15. QuickDeploy settings (continued)
Setting Description
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Specifies the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the iDRACs. The default value is "::".
iDRAC IPv6 Prefix Length Specifies the prefix length to be assigned for the IPv6 addresses on the iDRAC. The
default value is 64.
Use CMC DNS Settings Enables the CMC DNS Server settings ( IPv4 and IPv6) that are propagated to iDRAC
when a blade server is inserted in the chassis.
Enable iDRAC DNS Name Select Enable iDRAC DNS Name to apply the iDRAC DNS name to the blade servers
inserted in the chassis. You can provide the iDRAC DNS prefix, which the CMC appends
with the slot name. For example, if the iDRAC DNS prefix is, "DNSNAME", then the
iDRAC DNS Name is appended with the slot name, "DNSNAME-SlotN".
By default, the Enable iDRAC DNS Name is disabled.
iDRAC DNS Name (Prefix) You can configure the iDRAC DNS name prefix only if Enable iDRAC DNS Name is
selected. The DNS name prefix can contain a maximum of 59 and a minimum of one
character. The supported characters are:
• Alphanumeric—"a-b" or "A-B"
• Numeric—"0-9"
• Hyphen—"–"
Ensure that the DNS name prefix does not begin with a hyphen. The default prefix is
"idrac". Only the prefix of the iDRAC DNS name is stored in the server profile.
3. Click Save QuickDeploy Settings to save the settings. If you have changed the iDRAC network setting, click Apply iDRAC
Network Settings to deploy the settings to the iDRAC.
The QuickDeploy feature only executes when it is enabled, and a server is inserted in the chassis.
To copy the QuickDeploy settings into the iDRAC Network Settings section, click Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings.
The QuickDeploy network configurations settings are copied into the corresponding fields in the iDRAC Network Configuration
Settings table.
NOTE:
Changes that are made to QuickDeploy fields are immediate, but changes that are made to one or more iDRAC
server network configuration settings may require a couple of minutes to propagate from CMC to iDRAC. Clicking
Refresh early may display only partially correct data for one or more iDRAC servers.
QuickDeploy IP address assignments for servers
The following tables show the way that the QuickDeploy IP addresses assigned to the servers based on the sleds present in the FX2/FX2s
Chassis:
• Two full-width sleds in the chassis:
Figure 3. Two full-width sleds in the chassis
• Four half-width sleds in the chassis:
