Configuring the DRAC 5 Using the

Web User Interface

The DRAC 5 provides a Web-based interface and RACADM (a command-

line interface) that enables you to configure the DRAC 5 properties and users,

perform remote management tasks, and troubleshoot a remote (managed)

system for problems. For everyday systems management, use the DRAC 5

Web-based interface. This chapter provides information about how to

perform common systems management tasks with the DRAC 5 Web-based

interface and provides links to related information.

All Web-based interface configuration tasks can also be performed with

RACADM. For a list of all RACADM and serial/telnet/ssh console commands

that can be used to perform the text-based equivalents of each task, see

"Using the RACADM Command Line Interface" on page 209.

See your DRAC 5 online help for context sensitive information about each

Web-based interface page.
