Users Guide

accepting and responding to secure HTTP requests from clients. This service is required by the web interface and remote RACADM CLI

tool for communicating with CMC.

If the web server resets, wait at least one minute for the services to become available again. A web server reset usually happens as a result

of any of the following events:

• Network conguration or network security properties are changed through the CMC web user interface or RACADM.

• Web server port conguration is changed through the web user interface or RACADM.

• CMC is reset.

• A new SSL server certicate is uploaded.

NOTE: To modify service settings, you must have the Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.

Remote syslog is an additional log target for CMC. After you congure the remote syslog, each new log entry generated by CMC is

forwarded to the respective destinations.

NOTE: Because the network transport for the forwarded log entries is UDP, there is no guaranteed delivery of log entries, nor is

there any feedback to CMC about whether the log entries were received successfully.

Conguring Services Using CMC Web Interface

To congure CMC services using CMC web interface:

1 In the left pane, click Chassis Overview, and then click Network > Services. The Services Management page is displayed.

2 Congure the following services as required:

• CMC Serial

• Web Server

• SSH

• Telnet

• Remote RACADM

• SNMP

• Remote Syslog

For information about the elds, see the Online Help.

3 Click Apply, and then update all default time-out and maximum time-out limits.

Conguring Services Using RACADM

To enable and congure the various services, use the following RACADM objects:

• cfgRacTuning

• cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable

For more information about these objects, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line

Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

If the rmware on the server does not support a feature, conguring a property related to that feature displays an error. For example, using

RACADM to enable remote syslog on an unsupported iDRAC displays an error message.

Similarly, when displaying the iDRAC properties using the RACADM getconfig command, the property values are displayed as N/A for an

unsupported feature on the server.

For example:

$ racadm getconfig -g cfgSessionManagement -m server-1

# cfgSsnMgtWebServerMaxSessions=N/A
