Configuring iDRAC VLAN Tag Settings Using RACADM
• Specify the VLAN ID and priority of a particular server with the following command:
racadm setniccfg -m server-<n> -v <VLAN id> <VLAN priority>
The valid values for <n> are 1 – 16.
The valid values for <VLAN> are 1 – 4000 and 4021 – 4094. Default is 1.
The valid values for <VLAN priority> are 0 – 7. Default is 0.
For example:
racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -v 1 7
For example:
• To remove a server VLAN, disable the VLAN capabilities of the specified server's network:
racadm setniccfg -m server-<n> -v
The valid values for <n> are 1-16.
For example:
racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -v
Setting First Boot Device
You can specify the CMC first boot device for each server. This may not be the actual first boot device for
the server or even represent a device present in that server; instead it represents a device sent by CMC to
the server and used as its first boot device in regard to that server.
You can set the default boot device and set a one-time boot device so that you can boot a image to
perform tasks such as running diagnostics or reinstalling an operating system.
You can set the first boot device for the next boot only or for all subsequent reboots. Based on this
selection, you can set the first boot device for the server. The system boots from the selected device on
the next and subsequent reboots and remains as the first boot device in the BIOS boot order, until it is
changed again either from the CMC Web interface or from the BIOS boot sequence.
NOTE: The first boot device setting in CMC Web Interface overrides the System BIOS boot settings.
