If the web server resets, wait at least one minute for the services to become available again. A web server
reset usually happens as a result of any of the following events:
• Network configuration or network security properties are changed through the CMC web user
interface or RACADM.
• Web server port configuration is changed through the web user interface or RACADM.
• CMC is reset.
• A new SSL server certificate is uploaded.
NOTE: To modify service settings, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.
Remote syslog is an additional log target for CMC. After you configure the remote syslog, each new log
entry generated by CMC is forwarded to the respective destinations.
NOTE: Because the network transport for the forwarded log entries is UDP, there is no guaranteed
delivery of log entries, nor is there any feedback to CMC about whether the log entries were
received successfully.
Configuring Services Using CMC Web Interface
To configure CMC services using CMC web interface:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview, and then click Network → Services. The Services
Management page is displayed.
2. Configure the following services as required:
• CMC Serial
• Web Server
• SSH
• Telnet
• Remote RACADM
• SNMP
• Remote Syslog
For information about the fields, see the Online Help.
3. Click Apply, and then update all default time-out and maximum time-out limits.
Configuring Services Using RACADM
To enable and configure the various services, use the following RACADM objects:
•cfgRacTuning
•cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable
For more information about these objects, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
If the firmware on the server does not support a feature, configuring a property related to that feature
displays an error. For example, using RACADM to enable remote syslog on an unsupported iDRAC
displays an error message.
Similarly, when displaying the iDRAC properties using the RACADM getconfig command, the property
values are displayed as N/A for an unsupported feature on the server.
