Server Administrator allows remote, in-band access to event logs, power control, and sensor status information and provides the ability to configure the BMC/iDRAC. To manage BMC/iDRAC and DRAC through the Server Administrator graphical user interface (GUI), click the Remote Access object, which is a subcomponent of the Main System Chassis/ Main System group.

You can perform the following tasks:

•Viewing Basic Information

•Configuring The Remote Access Device To Use A LAN Connection

•Configuring The Remote Access Device To Use A Serial Over LAN Connection

•Configuring The Remote Access Device To Use A Serial Port Connection

•Additional Configuration For iDRAC

•Configuring Remote Access Device Users

•Setting Platform Event Filter Alerts

You can view BMC/iDRAC or DRAC information based on which hardware is providing the remote access capabilities for the system.

The reporting and configuration of BMC/iDRAC and DRAC can also be managed using the omreport/omconfig chassis remoteaccess command-line interface (CLI) command.

In addition, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service allows you to manage the Platform Event Filters (PEF) parameters and alert destinations.

NOTE: You can view BMC data on Dell PowerEdge 9G systems only.
