Concept Guide

• Enable or disable boot sources
• One-time boot support to any device listed in the boot order
iDRAC conguration
The iDRAC conguration feature is used to manage the properties and interfaces for running system management tasks related to the
management of basic properties of iDRAC. The remote access controller properties and attributes are divided into views to provide a simple
methodology for the clients to query the iDRAC views and set the iDRAC attributes.
You can perform the following operations:
• Retrieve current iDRAC conguration and inventory
• Get and set any congurable iDRAC attribute
• Manage iDRAC user accounts
RAID conguration
The RAID conguration feature is used to manage the properties and capabilities of the RAID storage. The RAID storage is modeled using a
collection of attributes, where there are collections for the enclosures, storage adapters, logical disks, physical disk drives, and PCIeSSD
devices. Additionally, there is a conguration service that contains all the methods used to congure the RAID storage.
You can perform the following operations:
• Retrieve current conguration of RAID inventory.
• Delete all virtual disks and unassign all the hot spare physical disk drives.
• Prepare any foreign physical disk drives for inclusion in the local conguration.
• Manage hot spares.
• Manage keys for self-encrypting drives.
• Manage virtual disks. You can perform the following:
• Create a single virtual disk. After the virtual disk is created, the FQDD of the virtual disk changes.
• Initialize (fast or slow) the virtual disk using the physical disk drives attached to the PERC controller.
• Delete a virtual disk from the PERC controller.
• Congure the following RAID attributes:
• Virtual disks — Read Policy, Write Policy, and Disk Cache Policy
• Controllers — Background Initialization Rate, Check Consistency Mode, Check Consistency Rate, Copy Back Mode, Possible load
balance modes, Patrol Read Mode, Rebuild Rate, and Reconstruction Rate.
• Change RAID-ready states of the physical disk drives.
• View PCIeSSD and extended card information.
• Reset PERC controller conguration.
• Import foreign congurations such that virtual disks are not lost after moving physical disks. The controllers provide support for auto
import of foreign conguration.
• Clear foreign conguration on physical disk drives attached to a controller.
• Set patrol read mode to avoid disk failures and data loss or corruption.
• Assign or unassign a global hot spare for a physical disk drive.
• Check the consistency of the redundancy information for redundant virtual disks.
• Cancel the check consistency operation that is in progress on a virtual disk.
• Blink or unblink the LEDs on the physical disk drives included in the virtual disk.
