Launching iDRAC using Single Sign-On
The CMC provides limited management of individual chassis components,
such as servers. For complete management of these individual components,
the CMC provides a launch point for the server’s management controller
(iDRAC) Web-based interface.
To launch the iDRAC management console from the Servers page, use the
following steps:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Server Overview in the system tree. The Servers Status page
appears.
3 Click the Launch iDRAC GUI button for the server you want to manage.
To launch the iDRAC management console for an individual server:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Expand Server Overview in the system tree. All of the servers (1–16)
appear in the expanded
Servers list.
3 Click the server you want to view. The Server Status page displays.
4 Click the Launch iDRAC GUI button.
A user may be able to launch iDRAC GUI without having to login a second
time, as this feature utilizes single sign-on. Single sign-on policies are
described below.
