Using the CMC Web Interface 225
Managing iDRAC
CMC provides the Deploy iDRAC page to allow the user to configure
installed and newly inserted server's iDRAC network configuration settings.
A user can configure one or more installed iDRAC devices from this page.
The user can also configure the default iDRAC network configuration
settings and root password for severs that are installed later; these
default settings are the iDRAC QuickDeploy settings.
For more information on the behaviour of iDRAC, see the iDRAC User’s
Guides at support.dell.com/manuals.
iDRAC QuickDeploy
The iDRAC QuickDeploy section of the Deploy iDRAC page contains
network configuration settings that are applied to newly inserted servers.
You may use these settings to automatically populate the iDRAC Network
Settings table that is below the QuickDeploy section. Once QuickDeploy is
enabled, the QuickDeploy settings are applied to servers when that server is
installed. For more information on the iDRAC QuickDeploy settings, see step
8 in "Configuring Networking Using the LCD Configuration Wizard" on
page 46.
To enable and set the iDRAC QuickDeploy settings:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Server Overview in the system tree.
3 Click the Setup tab. The Deploy iDRAC page appears.
4 Set the QuickDeploy settings accordingly.
