Disabling Local Configuration From Local racadm
This feature disables the ability of the managed system’s user to configure the
DRAC 5 using the local racadm or the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator utilities.
racadm config -g cfgRacTune -o
cfgRacTuneLocalConfigDisable 1
NOTICE: Use these features discreetly as they severely limit the ability of the local
user to configure the DRAC 5 from the local system, including performing a reset to
default of the configuration.
NOTE: This command is available only through the remote racadm.
NOTE: See the white paper on Effectively Using the New Security Options in the
DRAC 5 Firmware and Software Version 1.30
on the Dell Support site at
support.dell.com for more information.
Disabling Console Redirection
The disable console redirection option allows the administrator of the local
DRAC 5 to disable the console redirection to the management station.The
disable console redirection option provides a secure mechanism for the local
DRAC 5 administrator to configure BIOS and DRAC settings without the risk
of someone else being able to view the administrator’s actions over a console
redirection session.
To disable console redirection:
racadm localConRedirDisable 1
NOTE: To enable console redirection, use the argument 0.
NOTE: The disable console redirection option is only available to local racadm
users.
Connecting to the Managed System Through the
Local Serial Port or Telnet Management Station
(Client System)
The managed system provides access between the DRAC 5 and the serial port
on your system to enable you to power on, power off, or reset the managed
system, and access logs.
