Table 2. Management module Interfaces
Interface Description
Web interface Provides remote access to OME–Modular using a graphical user interface. The web
interface is built into the OME–Modular firmware and is accessed through the NIC
interface from a supported web browser on the management station. The number of
user sessions allowed for each interface is:
● Web interface – 6
● RESTful API – 32
● SSH – 4
For a list of supported web browsers, see the Supported browsers section in the OME
- Modular for PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis Release Notes available at www.dell.com/
openmanagemanuals.
Remote RACADM command line
interface
Use this command line utility to manage OME–Modular and its components. You can
use remote or firmware RACADM:
● Remote RACADM is a client utility that runs on a management station. It uses the
out-of-band network interface to run RACADM commands on the managed system
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.
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 defined by the
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). 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
www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
SNMP Use SNMP to:
1. Download the OME-Modular MIB file from the www.dell.com/support.
2. Use MIB walker tool to get supported information using OIDs.
NOTE: SNMP SET is not supported.
