Setting Description
NOTE: Note the following:
• The values of the number of IP addresses that are
less than the minimum value required for a server
type are grayed out.
• If you select an option that is lesser than the default
value of the number of IP addresses reserved, an
error message is displayed warning that reducing the
number of IP addresses prevents quick deploy of
profiles to higher capacity servers.
• A warning message is logged in the CMC hardware
log (SEL) and an SNMP alert is generated.
• The quick deploy prompt on the LCD panel is not
displayed if a higher capacity server is inserted in
lower locations when QuickDeploy feature is enabled.
To see the quick deploy option on the LCD panel for
the higher capacity servers again change the IP
addresses value to the default value and reseat the
higher capacity servers.
NOTE:
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) Specifies the static IP address of iDRAC in the server, in slot 1
of the enclosure. The IP address of each subsequent iDRAC is
incremented by 1 for each slot from slot 1's static IP address.
In the case where the IP address plus the slot number is
greater than the subnet mask, an error message is displayed.
NOTE: The subnet mask and the gateway are not
incremented like the IP address.
For example, if the starting IP address is 192.168.0.250
and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 then the QuickDeploy
IP address for slot 15 is
192.168.0.265. When you try to
set the fields starting IP address, reserved IP addresses, and
subnet mask values such that the combination may generate
an IP address outside the subnet, the QuickDeploy IP
address range is not fully within
QuickDeploy Subnet error message is displayed when
you click the Save QuickDeploy Settings or Auto-Populate
Using QuickDeploy Settings. For example, if the starting IP is
192.168.1.245, reserved IP addresses is 16 and subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0, the IP addresses generated for
slots beyond 11 are all outside the subnet. Hence, trying to set
this combination for QuickDeploy settings generates an error
message.
iDRAC IPv4 Netmask Specifies the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned to all
newly inserted servers.
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway Specifies the QuickDeploy default gateway that is assigned to
all iDRAC present in the chassis.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present in the
chassis that is IPv6 capable.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Autoconfiguration Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address and prefix
length) from a DHCPv6 server and also enables stateless
address auto configuration. By default, this option is enabled.
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Specifies the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the
iDRACs. The default value is "::".
