Setting Description
Enable iDRAC DNS Name Select Enable iDRAC DNS Name to apply the iDRAC DNS name prex to the blade
servers inserted in the chassis. By default, the Enable iDRAC DNS Name is disabled.
iDRAC DNS Name (Prex) You can congure the iDRAC DNS name prex only if Enable iDRAC DNS Name is
selected. The DNS name prex 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 prex does not begin with a hyphen. The default prex is
"idrac". Only the prex of the iDRAC DNS name is stored in the server prole.
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. If Set iDRAC Root Password on
Server Insertion and QuickDeploy Enabled are enabled, the user is prompted using the LCD interface to allow or not allow the
password change. If there are network conguration settings that dier from the current iDRAC settings, the user is prompted to
either accept or reject the changes.
NOTE: If there is a LAN or IPMI over LAN dierence, the user is prompted to accept the QuickDeploy IP address setting. If
the dierence is the DHCP setting, the user is prompted to accept the DHCP QuickDeploy setting.
To copy the QuickDeploy settings into the iDRAC Network Settings section, click Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings. The
QuickDeploy network congurations settings are copied into the corresponding elds in the iDRAC Network Conguration Settings
table.
NOTE
: Changes that are made to QuickDeploy elds are immediate, but changes that are made to one or more iDRAC
server network conguration 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.
