Supported Dell Remote Access Controllers And Solutions

The Dell PowerEdge embedded server management solution, Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller, helps IT administrators to speed up the essential management tasks, it increases the availability of your servers, and reduces your IT operational expenses.

With powerful, easy-to-use, remote management and configuration options, iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller alerts IT administrators when an issue occurs, enables streamlined local and remote server management, and reduces or eliminates the need for administrators to physically visit the server even if the server is not operational.

Overview

Both iDRAC Express and Enterprise ship from the factory with a default static IP address, this is a preferred and a known method. However, Dell also offers two options to better fit into a customer’s existing environment . Auto-discoveryor DHCP can be set from the factory to allow you to access the iDRAC and remotely configure your server.

Auto Discovery

The Auto Discovery option is for customers who have some type of provisioning server already installed in their data center environment. A provisioning server manages and automates the deployment or upgrade of an operating system and applications to a Dell PowerEdgeserver. By enabling Auto Discovery, the servers will — upon first boot — search for a provisioning server to take control and begin the automated deployment or update process. Select this option if you like to ensure that this feature is enabled at the Dell factory. There is no charge to enable Auto Discovery at the time of order.

DHCP

The DHCP option is for customers who have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server already installed in their data center environment. The DHCP server automatically assign the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask to iDRAC7. Select this option if you like to ensure that this feature is enabled at the Dell factory. There is no charge to enable DHCP at time of order.

iDRAC Service Module

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) Service Module is a lightweight optional software application that can be installed on Dell 12G Server or later. The iDRAC Service Module complements iDRAC interfaces – Graphical User Interface (GUI), RACADM CLI and Web Service Management (WSMAN) with additional monitoring data. You can configure the features on the supported operating system depending on the features to be installed and the unique integration needs in a work environment.

DRAC also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system only) to help diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.

For more information on DRAC or iDRAC, see the Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide or the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide available at www.dell.com/support/manuals.
