Accessing iDRAC6/iDRAC7 by using RACADM

Accessing iDRAC6/iDRAC7 by using RACADM

You can use SSH-based or Telnet-based interfaces to access iDRAC6/iDRAC7 by using the RACADM utility. RACADM (remote access controller administration) is a Dell command-line utility that allows you to set up and configure the integrated Dell Remote Access Control (iDRAC) interface card to provide an out-of-band management capability.

The iDRAC card contains a controller with its own processor, memory, network connection, and access to the system bus. This gives system or network administrators the capability to configure a system as if they were sitting at the local console using the power management, virtual medial access and remote console capabilities, by using a supported web browser or command line interface.

The logon values you can use for making iDRAC connections are:

Default username: root
•
Default password: calvin
•
Default static IP address: 192.168.0.120

For more information, see the RACADM Reference Guides for iDRAC, the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User Guide, or the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) User Guide that are available at support.dell.com/manuals.

Logging on and initializing the DR Series system

Logging on and initializing the DR Series system

Before you can start to use the DR Series system graphical user interface (GUI) for the first time, you must initialize the system.

The Initial System Configuration Wizard lets you configure the following network settings to complete the first-time initialization of your system:

IP addressing mode
•
Subnet mask address
•
Default gateway address
•
DNS suffix address
•
Primary DNS server IP address
•
(Optional) Secondary DNS server IP address
•
Host name for system

When you initialize the system you will log on to the DR Series system CLI by using a local console KVM (keyboard-video monitor) connection or an iDRAC connection. (For more information, see the topic, Local Console Connection, or iDRAC Connection.) You will then configure your system network settings by using the Initial System Configuration Wizard as described in the steps below.

To log on and initialize the DR Series system, complete the following steps:

1.
Launch a terminal emulator application (like PuTTY), and type the default IP address for the DR Series system (if you are not using iDRAC or local console).
2.
At the login as: prompt, type administrator, and press <Enter>.
3.
At the administrator@<system_name> password: prompt, type the default administrator password (St0r@ge!), and press <Enter>.
The Initial System Configuration Wizard window is displayed.
Figure 11. Initial System Configuration Wizard Window

The figure shows the initial system configuration wizard window.

4.
To configure the network settings, type y (for yes), and press <Enter>.
5.
To configure the use of the default IP address that ships with the system, choose to use static IP addressing.
To do this, at the DHCP prompt, type no (this selects static IP addressing), and press <Enter>.
 
NOTE: When you select static IP addressing, you are prompted to type the static IP address (for example, you could use the default IP, 10.77.88.99) for the system, and press <Enter>. If your network supports the use of DHCP, type yes at the DHCP prompt, press <Enter>, and respond to any prompts.
6.
To configure a subnet mask address, type the subnet mask address you want to use (for example, you could use the default subnet mask address, 255.0.0.0), and press <Enter>.
7.
To configure a default gateway address, type the default gateway address you want to use (for example, 10.10.20.10), and press <Enter>.
8.
To configure a DNS Suffix, type the DNS suffix you want to use (for example, storage.local), and press <Enter>.
9.
To configure a primary DNS server IP address, type an IP address you want to use for the primary DNS server (for example, 10.10.10.10), and press <Enter>.
10.
(Optional) To configure a secondary DNS server IP address, type y (for yes), and press <Enter>.
If you responded yes, type an IP address you want to use for the secondary DNS server (for example, 10.10.10.11), and press <Enter>.
11.
To change the default host name (for example, the serial number of the DR Series hardware appliance), type y (for yes) and press <Enter>.
If you responded yes, type the host name you want to use, and press <Enter>. After you configure your host name response, the current system settings are displayed.
12.
To accept these settings, type y (for yes), and press <Enter>.
13.
If you want to change any of these settings, type n (for no), and press <Enter>. Modify the settings as needed, and press <Enter>.
When completed, a successful initialization message is displayed.
14.
At the prompt, type exit and press <Enter> to end the DR Series system CLI session.

You are now ready to log in to the system using the DR Series system GUI.

 
NOTE: Before you log on to the system in the DR Series system GUI, make sure to register it in the local Domain Name System (DNS) for your network so that it is a DNS-resolvable entry.
 
NOTE: At this point, you could modify the bonding mode to use 802.3ad, if this configuration is available in your network.

Disabling the Compatibility View settings for IE

To log on to the DR Series system GUI for the first time, complete the following steps:

1.
In a supported web browser, type the IP address or hostname of your DR Series system, and press <Enter>.
The DR Series system logon page is displayed.
 
NOTE: The DR Series System Login page may display a warning message if the web browser you are using does not properly support the DR Series system. If you are running a Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) web browser, make sure that you disable the Compatibility View. For more information about disabling the Compatibility View settings, see the topic, Disabling the Compatibility View Settings. For more information about supported web browsers, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide.
 
NOTE: For best results when using IE web browsers in combination with supported Windows-based servers, ensure that Active Scripting (JavaScript) is enabled on the Windows client. This setting is often disabled by default on Windows-based servers. For more information on enabling Active Scripting, see the topic Enabling Active Scripting in Windows IE Browsers.
2.
In the Username field, type administrator, and in the Password field, type St0r@ge! and then click Log in or press <Enter>. The Users page is displayed with a Configuration Wizard that guides you to the proper pages in the GUI for configuring your system information.
 
NOTE: If this is the first time logging on to the system after a software upgrade, you will see an Upgrade notification dialog box, which instructs you to review and verify user roles and logon information for your DR Series system and associated DMAs.
3.
Click Next or Previous to navigate through the Configuration Wizard steps to set up your system. Refer to the topics in the System Configuration chapter later in this guide for more detailed instructions on how to complete these steps.
a.
Step 1: Reset Password Setup & Change Admin Password. Refer to the topics, “Modifying Password Reset Options” and “Changing a User Password” for detailed instructions.
