Overview
The iDRAC6 Configuration Utility is a pre-boot configuration environment
that allows you to view and set parameters for iDRAC6 and for the managed
server. Specifically, you can:
• View the firmware revision numbers for iDRAC6 and primary backplane
firmware
• Configure, enable, or disable the iDRAC6 local area network (LAN)
• Enable or disable IPMI Over LAN
• Configure LAN parameters
• Enable, disable, or cancel System Services
• Attach or detach the Virtual Media devices
• Change the administrative username and password
• Reset the iDRAC6 configuration to the factory defaults
• View System Event Log (SEL) messages or clear messages from the log
The tasks you can perform using iDRAC6 Configuration Utility can also be
performed using other utilities provided by the iDRAC6 or Dell OpenManage
software, including the Web-based interface, the SM-CLP command line
interface, the local RACADM command line interface and, in the case
of basic network configuration, at the iDRAC6 LCD during initial
iDRAC6 configuration.
