70 Remote Service Features
Connecting Directly to Provisioning Server for Handshake
This feature allows you to directly connect to a specified Provisioning Server
host for handshake and registration of the new server on the network.
The
provisioning server IP address or host name can be confi
gured through the USC
console, iDRAC6 configuration utility or preset at the factory.
Set Provisioning Server IP addresses/resolvable names
There are multiple options for setting the Provisioning Server IP
address/hostname used for Auto-Discovery. You can set it through a Web
services request using WS-MAN, through the USC console or through the
iDRAC6 configuration utility.
Set Provisioning Server Using a WS-MAN Request
The Provisioning Server IP address property string is set by invoking the
SetAttribute() method on the DCIM_LCService class by issuing a Web
services request using WS-MAN network management protocol. Command
line examples of Microsoft WinRM and WSMANCLI SetAttribute()
invocations are provided in the Lifecycle Controller 1.3 Interface Guide on the
Dell TechCenter wiki at www.delltechcenter/page/Lifecycle+Controller.
The following conditions apply to using a command to set the provisioning
server IP address/hostname:
• Make sure to enable the Preserve Configuration option while resetting the
iDRAC6 to defaults, issuing the racadm racresetcfg or updating the
iDRAC6 firmware. If it is disabled, the provisioning server IP/hostname
will be erased.
• The information will be used only during the next handshake process and
will not be used for any handshakes in progress.
• The string can contain multiple IP addresses and/or hostnames with the
following format:
• The string is a list of IP addresses and/or hostnames and ports
separated by comma.
• Hostname can be fully qualified.
• IPv4 address – starts with ‘(‘ and ends with ‘)’ when specified at the
same time with a hostname.
