Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 3.10 for Dell EMC PowerEdge VRTX User's Guide

Configuring CMC

Chassis Management Controller enables you to configure properties, set up users, and alerts to perform remote management tasks.

Before you begin configuring the CMC, you must first configure the CMC network settings to allow CMC to be managed remotely. This initial configuration assigns the TCP/IP networking parameters that enable access to the CMC. For more information, see Setting Up Initial Access to CMC .

You can configure CMC using Web interface or RACADM.

  • NOTE: When you configure CMC for the first time, you must be logged in as root user to execute RACADM commands on a remote system. Another user can be created with privileges to configure CMC.
After setting up the CMC and performing the basic configurations, you can do the following:
  • Modify the network settings, if required.
  • Configure interfaces to access CMC.
  • Configure LCD display.
  • Set up chassis groups, if required.
  • Configure servers, I/O module, or front panel.
  • Configure VLAN settings.
  • Obtain the required certificates.
  • Add and configure CMC users with privileges.
  • Configure and enable e-mail alerts and SNMP traps.
  • Set the power cap policy, if required.
  • NOTE: The following characters cannot be used in the property strings of both the CMC interfaces (GUI and CLI):
    • &#
    • < and > together
    • ; (semicolon)
