Thats it. Theres so much time since I assembled this machine I cant remember how to check things in it w/o a reboot. How is that possible? I cant stop the services running in the VMs in this server but theres a long time since Ive checked the disks' health (2 disks in raid1) and details like CPU's temps...
Solved! Go to Solution.
Out of Band management: iDRAC. For sure iDRAC will alarm with email if you have configure and activate it but IIRC the iDRAC7 doesnt include a "storage" section within its GUI.
In Band: OpenManage Server Administrator(The webapp which listen on port 1311) or iDRAC tools aka "racadm" which is usefull when you have forget IP address and Password from your iDRAC.
Note: Our nagios like monitoring system use the command line stuff which comes with OMSA and also SNMP.

Thanks. I remember I configured the iDRAC back them, but I dont remember none of the access credentials Ive set. I guess I will have to reboot the machine and look what I want the easy way
Stop!
There is no reboot needed when you have lost your iDRAC credentials. Just install the iDRAC tools "racadm" within the Host OS(Windows, ESXi,Linux) and when executing "racadm" with root/administrator rights you can talk direclty with the local iDRAC and you can also change the "root" password at least on "modern" iDRAC version. You have a 12Gen server which is iDRAC6 so iam not sure 100%.
Hint: The default idrac password it "calvin" and you should use this one first
