Configuration Utility or the local RACADM CLI can be disabled by means of
a RACADM command (see iDRAC6 Administrator Reference Guide available
on support.dell.com/manuals) or from the GUI (see "Enabling or Disabling
Local Configuration Access" on page 114.)
NOTE: Using more than one configuration interface at the same time may generate

management application that you can use to
interactively manage iDRAC6 and monitor the

day-to-day tasks, such as monitoring system
health, viewing the system event log,
managing local iDRAC6 users, and launching
CMC Web interface and Virtual Console
sessions.
CMC Web Interface In addition to monitoring and managing the
chassis, CMC Web interface can be used to
view the status of a managed server, update
iDRAC6 firmware, configure iDRAC6 network
settings, logon to iDRAC6 Web interface, and
to start, stop, or reset the managed server.
