Managing rack density

Suppose two servers are installed in a rack. To add two additional servers, need to determine how much capacity is left in the rack.

To assess the capacity of a rack to add additional servers:

1 View the current power consumption data and historical power consumption data for the servers.

2 Based on the data, power infrastructure and cooling system limitations, enable the power cap policy and set the power cap values.

NOTE: It is recommended that you set a cap close to the peak, and then use that capped level to determine how much

capacity is remaining in the rack for adding more servers.

Applying IO Identity conguration settings for multiple

network cards in single host system reboot

If you have multiple network cards in a server that is part of a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment and you want to apply dierent

virtual addresses, initiator and target conguration settings to those cards, use the I/O Identity Optimization feature to reduce the time in

conguring the settings. To do this:

1 Make sure that BIOS, iDRAC, and the network cards are updated to the latest rmware version.

2 Enable IO Identity Optimization.

3 Export the XML conguration le from iDRAC.

4 Edit the I/O Identity optimization settings in the XML le.

5 Import the XML conguration le to iDRAC.
