Interface Description
and uses the HTTPs channel. The –r option runs the RACADM command over a
network.
● Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to OME–Modular using SSH or
telnet. You can run the firmware RACADM commands without specifying the OME–
Modular IP, user name, or password. After you enter the RACADM prompt, you can
directly run the commands without the RACADM prefix.
NOTE: A log for remote RACADM session (login or logout) is displayed in the Audit
Logs page, irrespective of the remote RACADM status. However, the feature does
not work if the remote RACADM option is disabled.
LCD Use the LCD on the front panel to:
● View alerts, OME–Modular IP or MAC address.
● Set DHCP
● Configure OME–Modular static IP settings.
● View OME–Modular MAC address for the active MM.
● View the OME–Modular VLAN ID appended to the end of MM IP, if the VLAN is
already configured.
● At-the-box management—Create a group, join group, leave group, or delete group.
● At-the-box storage mapping resolution on compute sled replacement condition.
NOTE: The data refresh can take several seconds depending on OME-Modular
response. This is typically 1-5 seconds, but can be longer if the OME-Modular is
busy. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, check OME-Modular response using GUI or
RACADM.
For more information about the LCD touch panel, see the Dell EMC PowerEdge
MX7000 Enclosure Installation and Service Manual.
SSH Use SSH to connect to the MX7000 chassis and run RACADM commands locally.
RESTful API and Redfish The Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API is a standard that the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) has defined. Redfish is a next-generation systems
management interface standard, which enables scalable, secure, and open server
management. It is a new interface that uses RESTful interface semantics to access
data that is defined in model format to perform out-of-band systems management. It is
suitable for a wide range of servers ranging from stand-alone servers to rack mount and
bladed environments and for large-scale cloud environments.
Redfish provides the following benefits over existing server management methods:
● Increased simplicity and usability
● High data security
●
Programmable interface that can be easily scripted
● Follows widely used standards
For more information, see the OME and OME - Modular RESTful API Guide available at
https://www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
SNMP Use SNMP to:
1. Download the OME-Modular MIB file from the https://www.dell.com/support.
2. Use MIB walker tool to get supported information using OIDs.
NOTE: SNMP SET is not supported.
Serial You can use the serial interface to access OME–Modular by connecting the micro
USB port on the rear of the management module to a laptop and opening a terminal
emulator. The user interface that is displayed enables you to log in to the management
module, networking IOMs, or servers (iDRAC). You can have a maximum of one serial
session open at a time.
Quick Sync You can have a maximum of one Quick Sync session open at a time.
KVM You can have a maximum of one KVM session open at a time.
