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 proles 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)
Species 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 elds 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 Species the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned to all newly inserted servers.
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway Species 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
Autoconguration
Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address and prex length) from a DHCPv6 server
and also enables stateless address auto conguration. By default, this option is enabled.
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Species the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the iDRACs. The default value is "::".
iDRAC IPv6 Prex Length Species the prex length to be assigned for the IPv6 addresses on the iDRAC. The default
value is 64.
Use CMC DNS Settings Enables the CMC DNS Server settings ( IPv4 and IPv6) that are propagated to iDRAC when a
blade server is inserted in the chassis.
Enable iDRAC DNS Name Select Enable iDRAC DNS Name to apply the iDRAC DNS name to the blade servers inserted
in the chassis. You can provide the iDRAC DNS prex, which the CMC appends with the slot
name. For example, if the iDRAC DNS prex is, "DNSNAME", then the iDRAC DNS Name is
appended with the slot name, "DNSNAME-SlotN".
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:
