Advanced Configuration of the
DRAC 5
This section provides information about advanced DRAC 5 configuration
and is recommended for users with advanced knowledge of systems
management and who want to customize the DRAC environment to suit
their specific needs.
Before You Begin
You should have completed the basic installation and setup of your DRAC 5
hardware and software. See "Basic Installation of the DRAC 5" on page 35 for
more information.
Configuring DRAC 5 Properties
You can configure the DRAC 5 properties (network, users, and so on) by
using either the Web-based interface or the RACADM.
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.
