Release Notes

User notes for Remote Access Service
● The remote access service is available on supported systems only in this release. It enables remote access to a server that
has lost its network connection or that has become unresponsive. In the current release of Server Administrator, the Remote
Access Service uses Integrated Remote Access Controller (iDRAC).
● iDRAC also has its own CLI that is accessed through the racadm command. You can add racadm commands to a batch or
script file to automate various user tasks. To limit the stress load on the managed system, and RAC, add sleep or delay
commands of one or two seconds between the individual racadm commands.
● On systems prior to YX1X generation PowerEdge server, Server Administrator slot page displays iDRAC information, but on
YX2X generation or later PowerEdge servers, the slot page does not display any iDRAC7 information.
