DRAC Management Point

We are looking for a solution to manage the DRAC's (or launch the console) from a single point.  Does Dell have a recommended piece of software for this (other than OME)?

OME is nice, but is still not entirely vetted out for this in a larger environment it seems.

Hello gebray1s

Check out the DRACT utility. It has the ability to discover DRACs on the network and provide a list of all discovered DRACs. You can then click on the IP address of the discovered DRAC to launch the GUI for that specific DRAC.

5.
Click Discover.
The discovered IP addresses along with the RAC type and the status information is displayed; the status in the Status column is Discovered. After all the RAC IP addresses are discovered, the message "Completed discovery of Remote Access Controllers" is displayed.
6.
Click OK to continue.
Once the RAC IPs are displayed, you can click on a RAC IP address link to launch the web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). To sort the entries in ascending or descending order for each column, you can click on the column heading.

Thanks

This is partially what we're looking for.  We have somewhere around 1500 Dell DRAC's that we'd like to be able to have in an easily accessible console.  Some kind of aggregator, rather than just exporting from our DNS zone that contains each DRAC.

Avocent DSView and Raritan both can provide similar capabilities from their applications, but we were looking to see if Dell had a similar product that would allow us to easily manage the DRAC's from a web console.
