Configure System Lockdown Mode
The System Lockdown Mode is supported only for iDRAC9-based servers with an Enterprise license. When you turn on the System
Lockdown Mode, lock the system configuration including firmware updates. The System Lockdown Mode setting is intended to protect
the system from unintentional changes. You can turn on or turn off the System Lockdown Mode for managed hosts 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. Also, iDRAC must have an enterprise license to enable Lockdown Mode.
NOTE: You cannot change the System Lockdown Mode for hosts that are managed using chassis credential profile.
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 has limitations:
• All configuration tasks, such as firmware update, operating system 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 actions:
a) On the OMIVV home page, expand Menu, select Hosts and Clusters, right-click a host or cluster, and then go to Summary >
OMIVV Host Information > Host Actions > Configure System Lockdown Mode.
b) Right-click a host or cluster, go to OMIVV Host Actions > Configure System Lockdown Mode.
