Accessing the console program

In order to view the console program, you must connect a VGA monitor and USB keyboard to the appropriate ports on the rear panel of the appliance to which you wish to connect. For more information, see Appendix: Dell PowerEdge system appliance.

The login name is always setup, and by default, the password is setup. If you have changed the setup account password during either the appliance’s initial configuration, or after installation, use the new password instead.

 
* 
TIP: It is possible to log in to the appliance remotely using secure shell (SSH). This function is enabled in either the web console or the console program, and is normally used to facilitate assistance from external users (Quest Technical Support).

Logging in using the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC)

For information about connecting to the DRAC, see the Dell Remote Access Controller documentation.

To log in to the DRAC using Microsoft® Internet Explorer® web browser:
1
Open Microsoft Internet Explorer Trusted Sites, and add the IP address of the appliance to the location DRAC is installed.
This enables Internet Explorer to download and install signed ActiveX controls.
2
Log in to DRAC using the default settings:
login name = root
password = calvin
The DRAC window displays.
3
From the Console tab, in the Console Redirection page, click Connect.
A session Viewer window opens.
4
Log in as an administrative user with terminal access.
The Foglight Experience Monitor setup utility window appears. You may now configure various aspects of the system. See Exploring the main menu.

Logging in from Microsoft Windows

Administrators with Windows® workstations must install PuTTY, in order to access the console program.

PuTTY is free software, which provides a remote shell interface to the appliance, allowing users to enter and execute commands from another computer. You can download PuTTY from: http://rc.vintella.com/topics/putty/.

To login from a Microsoft® Windows® workstation:
1
Run PuTTY.
The PuTTY Configuration screen appears.
2
Type the appliance IP address or DNS name in the Host Name (or IP address) text box.
3
Ensure that the SSH option button is selected.
4
Click Open.
The first time you connect to the appliance, you will see a warning that the RSA fingerprint cannot be authenticated.
5
To accept the RSA certificate, click Yes.
6
Log in as an administrative user with SSH access.
The Foglight Experience Monitor setup utility window appears. You may now configure various aspects of the system. See Exploring the main menu.

Logging in from Linux and UNIX

Most administrators with UNIX® or Linux® workstations already have command-line tools installed for SSH and SCP.

To log in from a Linux or UNIX workstation:
1
Start the SSH client.
ssh -l [username] myappliance
Where [username] is the login name of an administrative user with SSH access and myappliance is the name of the appliance you want to access.
The first time you connect to the appliance, you will see a warning that the RSA fingerprint cannot be authenticated.
2
To accept the RSA certificate, click Yes.
3
Enter your password.
You are now logged in to the appliance.
