Configuring System Lockdown Mode

The System Lockdown Mode setting is available in iDRAC for 14th generation of the PowerEdge servers. The setting when turned on

locks the system configuration including firmware updates. This setting is intended to protect the system from unintentional changes. You

can turn on or turn off the System Lockdown Mode for managed hosts by using the OMIVV appliance or from the iDRAC console.

From the OMIVV version 4.1 and later, you can configure and monitor the Lockdown Mode of iDRAC in servers. You can configure the

System Lockdown Mode by locking or unlocking a host or cluster at host or cluster level. When the System Lockdown Mode is turned on,

the following functionality have limitations:

• All configuration tasks, such as firmware update, OS deployment, clear system event logs, reset iDRAC, and configuring iDRAC trap

destination.

1. To launch the Configure System Lockdown Mode wizard, perform either of the following substeps:

a) In the Navigator pane, click Hosts and Clusters, select and right-click a host or cluster and click the Actions drop-down list,

and then select All OpenManage Integration Actions > Configure System Lockdown Mode.

b) In OpenManage Integration, click the Hosts or Clusters page, select and right-click a host or cluster or select a host or cluster and

click the Actions drop-down list, and then select All OpenManage Integration Actions > Configure System Lockdown

message that this feature is not supported on this platform.
