Applying an integrated Dell Remote Access Controller profile on a collection
About this task
Steps
- Click Browse and select the iDRAC profile that you created using the System Viewer utility. This profile is applied during the hardware configuration process. For more information on creating iDRAC profiles, see Creating an integrated Dell Remote Access Controller profile.
- After you select an iDRAC profile, you can
validate if the configuration is applied based on the following parameters:
Table 1. iDRAC profile settings S.No Target Server Profile Settings What is Applicable 1.
Rack and Tower systems
All four types of attributes are configured.
All attributes in the iDRAC profile.
2.
Blade systems
All four types of attributes are configured.
- All attributes in Common IP settings.
- All attributes in IPv4 settings.
- Only vLAN ID and vLAN priority attributes from Advanced LAN settings.
3.
Rack, Tower, or Blade system with Static IP address
IPv4 Configuration attributes only.
IPv4 address source is updated.
4.
Rack, Tower, or Blade systems
LAN Settings attributes only.
Applied only to Rack and Tower systems and not to Blade systems.
5.
Rack, Tower, or Blade systems
Advanced LAN Settings attributes only.
All Advanced LAN Settings attributes are applied to Rack and Tower systems.
Only vLAN ID and vLAN priority attributes are applied to Blade systems.
6.
Rack, Tower, or Blade systems
Common IP Configuration attributes only.
Common IP Configuration attributes.
7.
Rack, Tower, or Blade systems without iDRAC6 enterprise card
LAN Settings with NIC mode set to Dedicated.
Nothing is applied as this attribute needs the iDRAC6 enterprise card.
8.
Rack, Tower, or Blade systems
LAN Settings with NIC mode set to Shared.
Attribute is applied only to Rack and Tower systems and only if the host operating system is configured for NIC teaming.
9.
Rack, Tower, or Blade systems
IPv4 Configuration where IP range specified is less than the number of systems.
Nothing is applied and an error is displayed in the OS deployment workflow.
10.
Rack, Tower, or Blade systems booted to Unified Server Configurator
All four types of attributes are configured.
All attributes applicable to the systems.
