Users Guide

If you are using the XML conguration le through RACADM or WS-MAN and if the network settings are changed in this le, then you

must wait for 15 seconds to either enable OS to iDRAC Pass-through feature or set the OS Host IP address.

Before enabling OS to iDRAC Pass-through, make sure that:

• iDRAC is congured to use dedicated NIC or shared mode (that is, NIC selection is assigned to one of the LOMs).

• Host operating system and iDRAC are in the same subnet and same VLAN.

• Host operating system IP address is congured.

• A card that supports OS to iDRAC Pass-through capability is installed.

• You have the Congure privilege.

When you enable this feature:

• In shared mode, the host operating system's IP address is used.

• In dedicated mode, you must provide a valid IP address of the host operating system. If more than one LOM is active, enter the rst

LOM’s IP address.

If the OS to iDRAC Pass-through feature does not work after it is enabled, ensure that you check the following:

• The iDRAC dedicated NIC cable is connected properly.

• At least one LOM is active.

NOTE: Use the default IP address. Ensure that the IP address of the USB NIC interface is not in the same network subnet as the

iDRAC or host OS IP addresses. If this IP address conicts with an IP address of other interfaces of the host system or the local

network, you must change it.

NOTE: Do not use 169.254.0.3 and 169.254.0.4 IP addresses. These IP addresses are reserved for the USB NIC port on the front

panel when an A/A cable is used.
