SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Deployment Guide

Modify 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

  1. When you reach the Configuration Complete page, scroll down to Advanced Steps.
  2. Click Modify BMC Settings. The Edit BMC Settings dialog box opens.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    1. In the BMC IP Address field, type an IP address for the iDRAC.
    2. In the BMC Net Mask field, type the network mask.
    3. In the BMC Gateway IP Address field, type the default route for the iDRAC.
  5. Click OK.
  6. 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.
