iDRAC 8/7 v2.30.30.30 User’s Guide
Configuring USB management port settings
You can configure the USB port in iDRAC:
- Enable or disable a server’s USB port using BIOS setup.
When you set it to either
All Ports off or
Front ports off, iDRAC also disables the managed USB
port. You can view the port status using in the iDRAC interfaces.
If the status is disabled:
- iDRAC does not process a USB device or host connected to the managed USB port.
- You can modify the managed USB configuration, but the settings do not have effect until the front panel USB ports are enabled in BIOS.
- Set the USB Management Port Mode that determines
whether the USB port is used by iDRAC or the server OS:
- Automatic (Default): If a USB device is not supported by iDRAC or if the server configuration profile is not present on the device, the USB port is detached from iDRAC and attached to the server. When a device is removed from the server, the port configuration is reset and is for use by iDRAC.
- Standard OS Use: USB device is always used by the operating system.
- iDRAC Direct Only: USB device is always used by iDRAC.
You must have Server Control privilege to configure the USB management port.
When a USB device is connected, the System Inventory page displays the USB device information under the Hardware Inventory section.
An event is logged in the Lifecycle Controller logs
when:
- The device is in Automatic or iDRAC mode and USB device is inserted or removed.
- USB Management Port Mode is modified.
- Device is automatically switched from iDRAC to OS.
- Device is ejected from iDRAC or OS
When a device exceeds its power requirements as allowed
by USB specification, the device is detached and an over-current event
is generated with the following properties:
- Category : System Health
- Type: USB device
- Severity: Warning
- Allowed notifications: Email, SNMP trap, remote syslog and WS-Eventing.
- Actions: None.
An error message is displayed and logged to Lifecycle
Controller log when:
- You try to configure the USB management port without the Server Control user privilege.
- A USB device is in use by iDRAC and you attempt to modify the USB Management Port Mode.
- A USB device is in use by iDRAC and you remove the device.
