iDRAC Interface Settings for a
Storage System
The
iDRAC interface provides functions to help deploy, update, monitor and maintain the
storage system.
About this task
CAUTION: The
iDRAC interface is intended for use by trained
Dell Technical Support personnel for specific unique circumstances. Certain features and functionality of
iDRAC for storage products differs from
Dell server products.
iDRAC can be configured so it can be used to perform out-of-band system management.
Steps
When you reach the
Configuration Complete page, scroll down to
Advanced Steps.
Select how to assign an IP Address to the
iDRAC from the
Configure via drop-down menu.
To specify a static IP address for the
iDRAC, select
Static.
To allow a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
iDRAC, select DHCP.
If you selected to specify a static IP address, specify the
iDRAC IP address for the bottom
storage controller and the top
storage controller.
NOTE:Dell EMC recommends setting the iDRAC IP to a non-routeable address on your network (other than 0.0.0.0) unless otherwise directed by Technical Support.
In the
BMC IP Address field, type an IP address for the
iDRAC.
In the
BMC Net Mask field, type the network mask.
In the
BMC Gateway IP Address field, type the default route for the
iDRAC.
Click
OK.
Log in to the
iDRAC and configure the
iDRAC password. You will be prompted to change the
iDRAC password when you log in. The default password is root/calvin.
NOTE: Any hardware errors reported in the
iDRAC can be ignored.
Storage Manager is the official interface to check hardware status.
