3 Out-of-band server management and monitoring Out-of-band server management is the process of remotely managing and monitoring servers using Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. Topics: • • • • • • Supported Integrated Dell Remote Access Controllers and solutions iDRAC Service Module 3.0.
● Static iDRAC will ship with the factory default static IP address 192.168.0.120 ● DHCP This option is for customers who have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server already installed in their data center environment. The DHCP server can automatically assign the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask to a server’s iDRAC . DHCP should also be selected if using iDRAC Auto Config or OpenManage Essentials Configuration Manager to automate server provisioning.

4 Supported OpenManage Change Management Software OpenManage change management software is a set of tools that enables you to update Dell systems easily. It is also an efficient way to manage hardware, software, and operating system updates.
The following table lists the supported OpenManage 9.0.1 change management software on systems running supported Microsoft Windows operating systems. Table 18.
Supported Change Management Software on Virtualization Operating Systems A 'D' in the intersection of the operating system and the Dell system columns indicates support for DUPs. A 'S' in the intersection of the operating system and the Dell system columns indicates support for SUU. An asterisk ( * ) in the intersection of the operating system and the Dell system columns indicates operating system support for Dell systems that do not support OpenManage software.
5 OpenManage Systems Management tools for in-band and out-of-band access OpenManage Systems Management tools or utilities provide the necessary tools for remote or one-to-many group system management. These tools also consolidate the management applications used on management workstations.
DRAC tools that include RACADM, VMCLI, and iVMCLI RACADM is a command-line utility that enables administrators to configure and replicate settings across multiple Dell remote access controllers (DRACs). The RACADM utility supports operations through the use of command-line parameters, switches, and a configuration file that contains all data required to configure a DRAC.
An ' X ' in the operating system column indicates support for the VMCLI and iVMCLI. Table 26. Supported Microsoft Windows Server Operating Systems for VMCLI and iVMCLI Microsoft Windows Server VMCLI and iVMCLI 2012 R2 X Supported Linux Operating Systems for the VMCLI and iVMCLI The following table lists the supported Linux operating systems for VMCLI and iVMCLI. An ' X ' in the operating system column indicates support for the VMCLI and iVMCLI utility. Table 27.
An 'X ' in the operating system column indicates IPMITool. Table 30.
