User's Manual

36 Using the Dell™ Management Pack for Microsoft

Operations Manager

When user names, passwords or KGKeys for the BMC are changed, the BMC login details of the

corresponding server should also be manually updated in the

Individual_BMC_Authentication_Credentials

section of the

%Management_Group_Name%_bmcServers.xml

. By default, each BMC user name, password and KGKey

will be used by the Dell Remote Power Control tasks and the LED Identification Control tasks. Global

BMC Authentication Credentials are disabled when either BMC_UserName, BMC_Password, or

BMC_KGKey of the Global Credential section is set to

-1

in the xml file. For enabling the use of Global

BMC Authentication Credentials (that is, one global BMC_UserName, BMC_Password, and BMC_KGKey

for all Dell server baseboard management controllers), replace the

-1

value with the exact login credentials

for the BMC_UserName, BMC_Password, and BMC_KGKey in the Global BMC Authentication

Credentials Section. BMC_KGKey entered in the XML file should be a valid hexadecimal format.

NOTE: Dell Management Pack Remote Power control tasks, LED identification control tasks and Clear Agent ESM

Log will function only for Dell systems when Dell agents have an instance on the selected computer.

NOTE: Remote Power control tasks and LED identification control tasks will provide IPMI Shell Task output only on

Dell servers with IPMI capability and with Server Administrator installed.
