Auto-Discovery Workflow
This is the Auto-Discovery workflow once it is configured and enabled:
1
Plug in your new Dell system to your network
2 Plug-in the power cables to turn on the system.
3 iDRAC starts, acquires the Provisioning Server IP addresses/hostnames
from DHCP/DNS and announces itself to the Provisioning Server.
4 The Provisioning Server validates and accepts the secure handshake
session from the iDRAC.
5 The Provisioning Server provides custom user credentials with
administrator privileges to iDRAC.
6 iDRAC receives and completes the secure handshake.
With enhancements to the Auto-Discovery process you can:
• Configure the provisioning server host address through the iDRAC
Configuration utility, USC, or using WinRM commands instead of using
DHCP or DNS.
• Remotely reinitiate Auto-Discovery in new environments.
• Upload custom client and server certificates using WS-MAN.
