Table 5-13. iDRAC6 Interfaces

InterfaceDescription

Web-based interface Provides remote access to the iDRAC6 using a graphical user interface. The Web-based interface is built into the iDRAC6 firmware and is accessed through the NIC interface from a supported Web browser on the management station.

RACADM

Provides remote access to the iDRAC6 using a command line

 

interface. RACADM uses the iDRAC6 IP address to execute

 

RACADM commands.

 

NOTE: The racadm remote capability option is supported only on

 

management stations. For more information, see "Using RACADM

 

Remotely" on page 111.

 

NOTE: When using the racadm remote capability, you must have

 

write permission on the folders where you are using the

 

RACADM subcommands involving file operations, for example:

 

racadm getconfig -f <file name>

 

or:

 

racadm sslcertupload -t 1 -f

 

c:\cert\cert.txt subcommands

Telnet Console

Provides access to the iDRAC6 and support for serial and

 

RACADM commands including powerdown, powerup,

 

powercycle, and hardreset commands.

 

NOTE: Telnet is an unsecure protocol that transmits all data—

 

including passwords—in plain text. When transmitting sensitive

 

information, use the SSH interface.
