Remote Management Unit Overview
Your Dell PowerVault 124T
The RMU performs many of the same functions as the front panel interface. These functions include moving tapes, system operations options, networking options, security options, running diagnostic tests, and performing system updates.
NOTE: Only use the Diagnostics commands when the autoloader is known to be idle and unavailable to host backup/restore applications. If a Diagnostic command is issued during a drive or autoloader operation, the unit will respond that it is busy. However, if a Diagnostic command is issued and then a backup or restore job runs, that job may fail.
NOTE: To log out of the system, you must close your browser.

The username and password are case sensitive and should be entered in all lower case letters. The default username and password are valid if no usernames have been configured.
