Supported Integrated Dell Remote Access Controllers and solutions

The PowerEdge embedded server management solution, Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller, helps IT administrators to speed up the essential management tasks, it increases the availability of your servers, and reduces your IT operational expenses.

With powerful, easy-to-use, remote management and configuration options, iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller alerts IT administrators when an issue occurs, enables streamlined local and remote server management, and reduces or eliminates the need for administrators to physically visit the server even if the server is not operational.

iDRAC includes:
  • Graphical User Interface(GUI), Command-Line Interface(CLI), and WSMan
  • Server instrumentation
  • OS Integration
  • Manage storage devices

Overview

All versions of iDRAC9 – Basic, Express, and Enterprise – ship from the factory with a default static IP address, this is a preferred and a known method. However, Dell EMC also offers two options to better fit into a customer’s existing environment. Auto-discovery or DHCP can be set from the factory to enable you to access iDRAC and remotely configure your server.

iDRAC9 Management Traffic – Dedicated NIC or Shared LOM

For certain yx4x generation of PowerEdge servers, you have the option to choose the network interface they wish to route iDRAC traffic – either the default Dedicated NIC for the iDRAC itself or through the Shared LOM that is also used by the server. Dell EMC recommends placing the iDRAC’s on a separate management network for best iDRAC security. However, you can also route iDRAC management traffic over the shared LOM. Select the shared LOM option if you may want to ensure that this feature is enabled at the Dell EMC factory. There is no additional charge to enable shared LOM at the time of order. The servers which support the option of selecting shared LOM for iDRAC management traffic are:
  • R740
  • R740xd
  • T640
  • R940
  • C6420

DRAC also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system only) to help diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.
