Users Guide

Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise 59
Dell highly recommends that for security purposes you create a separate User
for IPMI commands with its own user name, IPMI over LAN privileges,
and password:
1
In the system tree, select System  Remote Access  iDRAC6 .
2 Click the Network/Security tab, and then click Users .
The
Users screen appears, displaying a list of all users (defined or
undefined).
3 Click the User ID of an undefined User.
The
User Configuration screen for the selected User ID appears.
4 Select the Enable User check box, and then enter the user’s name
and password.
5 In the IPMI LAN Privilege section, ensure that Maximum LAN User
Privilege Granted
is set to Administrator .
6 Set other user privileges as needed.
7 Click Apply to save the new User settings.
Using IT Assistant to View iDRAC6 Status and
Events
After discovery is complete, iDRAC6 devices appear in the Servers category of
the ITA Devices detail screen, and iDRAC6 information can be seen by
clicking the iDRAC6 name. This is different from DRAC 5 systems, where the
management card shows up in the RAC group.
iDRAC6 error and warning traps can now be seen in the primary Alert Log of
IT Assistant. They display in the Unknown category, but the trap description
and severity will be accurate.
For more information on using IT Assistant to manage your data center,
see the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant User's Guide.
NOTE: You can also use Dell Management Console, the next generation
one-to-many systems management application, to view iDRAC6 status and events.
See the
Dell Management Console User’s Guide on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com/manuals for more information.
