Action When Server is Inserted
|
Select one of the following options
from the list:
-
No Action — No action is performed
when the server is inserted.
-
QuickDeploy Only — Select
this option to apply iDRAC network settings when a new server is inserted
in the chassis. The specified auto-deployment settings are used to
configure the new iDRAC, which includes the root user password
if Change Root Password is selected.
-
Server Profile Only — Select
this option to apply server profile assigned when a new server is
inserted in the chassis.
-
Quick Deploy and Server Profile — Select this option to first apply the iDRAC network settings,
and then to apply the server profile assigned when a new server is
inserted in the chassis.
|
Set iDRAC Root Password on Server Insertion
|
Select the option to change iDRAC root password
to match the value provided in the
iDRAC Root Password field, when a server is inserted.
|
iDRAC Root Password
|
When the
Set iDRAC Root Password on
Server Insertion
and
QuickDeploy Enabled options are selected, this password value is assigned to a server's
iDRAC root user password when the server is inserted into a chassis.
The password can have 1 to 20 printable (including white spaces) characters.
|
Confirm iDRAC Root Password
|
Allows you to retype the password provided in the
Password field.
|
Enable iDRAC LAN
|
Enables or disables the iDRAC LAN channel. By default,
this option is cleared.
|
Enable iDRAC IPv4
|
Enables or disables IPv4 on iDRAC. By default,
this option is selected.
|
Enable iDRAC IPMI over LAN
|
Enables or disables the IPMI over LAN channel
for each iDRAC present in the chassis. By default, this option is
selected.
|
Enable iDRAC IPv4 DHCP
|
Enables or disables DHCP for each iDRAC present
in the chassis. If this option is enabled, the fields
QuickDeploy
IP
,
QuickDeploy Subnet Mask, and
QuickDeploy Gateway are disabled, and cannot be modified
since DHCP is used to automatically assign these settings for each
iDRAC. To select this option, you must select the
Enable
iDRAC IPv4
option. Quick Deploy IP address option is provided
with two values 4 and 2.
|
Reserved QuickDeploy IP Address
|
Select the number of static IPv4 addresses reserved
for iDRACs in the chassis. The IPv4 addresses starting from
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) are considered as
reserved and assumed to be unused elsewhere in the same network. Quick
Deploy feature does not work for servers that are inserted into slots
for which there is no reserved static IPv4 address.
|
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1)
|
Specifies the static IP address of iDRAC in the
server, in slot 1 of the enclosure. The IP address of each subsequent
iDRAC is incremented by 1 for each slot from slot 1's static IP address.
In the case where the IP address plus the slot number is greater than
the subnet mask, an error message is displayed.
-
NOTE: The subnet mask and
the gateway are not incremented such as the IP address.
For example, if the starting IP address is
192.168.0.250 and the subnet mask is
255.255.0.0 then the QuickDeploy
IP address for slot 4c is
192.168.0.265. If the subnet
mask is
255.255.255.0, the
QuickDeploy IP
address range is not fully within QuickDeploy Subnet
error
message is displayed when you click
Save QuickDeploy Settings or
Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings.
|
iDRAC IPv4 Netmask
|
Specifies the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned
to all newly inserted servers.
|
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway
|
Specifies the QuickDeploy default gateway that
is assigned to all the DRAC present in the chassis.
|
Enable iDRAC IPv6
|
Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present
in the chassis that is IPv6 capable.
|
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Autoconfiguration
|
Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address
and prefix length) from a DHCPv6 server and also enables stateless
address auto configuration. By default, this option is enabled.
|
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway
|
Specifies the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned
to the iDRACs. The default value is "::".
|
iDRAC IPv6 Prefix Length
|
Specifies the prefix length to be assigned for
the IPv6 addresses on the iDRAC. The default value is 64.
|
Use CMC DNS Settings
|
Enables the CMC DNS Server settings ( IPv4 and
IPv6) that are propagated to iDRAC when a blade server is inserted
in the chassis.
|
Enable iDRAC DNS Name
|
Select
Enable iDRAC DNS Name to apply the iDRAC DNS name to the blade servers inserted in the chassis. You can provide the iDRAC DNS prefix, which the
CMC appends with the slot name. For example, if the iDRAC DNS prefix is, "DNSNAME", then the iDRAC DNS Name is appended with
the slot name, "DNSNAME-SlotN".
By default, the Enable iDRAC DNS Name is disabled.
|
iDRAC DNS Name (Prefix)
|
You can configure the iDRAC DNS name prefix only if Enable iDRAC DNS Name is selected. The DNS name prefix can contain a maximum
of 59 and a minimum of one character. The supported characters are:
-
Alphanumeric—"a-b" or "A-B"
-
Numeric—"0-9"
-
Hyphen—"–"
Ensure that the DNS name prefix does not begin with a hyphen. The default prefix is "idrac". Only the prefix of the iDRAC
DNS name is stored in the server profile.
