QuickDeploy Enabled
|
Enables or disables the
QuickDeploy feature that automatically applies the iDRAC settings configured
on this page to newly inserted servers. The auto configuration must
be confirmed locally on the LCD panel.
-
NOTE: This includes the root
user password if the
Set iDRAC Root Password on Server
Insertion
box is checked.
By default,
this option is disabled.
|
Action When Server is Inserted
|
Select one of the following options from the list:
-
No Action — No action is performed
when the server is inserted.
-
QuickDeploy Only— Select
this option to apply iDRAC network settings when a new server is inserted
in the chassis. The specified auto-deployment settings are used to
configure the new iDRAC, which includes the root user password if
Change Root Password is selected.
-
Server Profile Only— Select
this option to apply server profile assigned when a new server is
inserted in the chassis.
-
Quick Deploy and Server Profile — Select this option to first apply the iDRAC network settings,
and then to apply the server profile assigned when a new server is
inserted in the chassis.
|
Set iDRAC Root Password on Server Insertion
|
Specifies whether a server’s iDRAC root password
must be changed to the value provided in the
iDRAC Root
Password
field when the server is inserted.
|
iDRAC Root Password
|
When
Set iDRAC Root Password on Server
Insertion
and
QuickDeploy Enabled options are selected, this password value is assigned to a server's
iDRAC root user password when the server is inserted into chassis.
The password can have 1 to 20 printable (including spaces) characters.
|
Confirm iDRAC Root Password
|
Verifies the password entered into the
iDRAC Root Password field.
|
Enable iDRAC LAN
|
Enables or disables the iDRAC LAN channel. By default,
this option is disabled.
|
Enable iDRAC IPv4
|
Enables or disables IPv4 on iDRAC. By default,
this option is enabled.
|
Enable iDRAC IPMI over LAN
|
Enables or disables the IPMI over LAN channel for
each iDRAC present in the chassis. By default, it is disabled.
|
Enable iDRAC DHCP
|
Enables or disables DHCP for each iDRAC present
in the chassis. If this option is enabled, the fields
QuickDeploy
IP
,
QuickDeploy Subnet Mask, and
QuickDeploy Gateway are disabled, and cannot be modified
since DHCP is used to automatically assign these settings for each
iDRAC. By default, this option is disabled.
|
Reserved QuickDeploy IP Addresses
|
Enables you to select the number of static IPv4
addresses reserved for the iDRACs in the chassis. The IPv4 addresses
starting from
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) are considered as reserved and assumed to be unused elsewhere in
the same network. Quick Deploy feature does not work for servers that
are inserted into slots for which there is no reserved static IPv4
address. The maximum number of static IP Addresses reserved for:
-
Qurter-height servers are 32 IP addresses.
-
Half-height servers are 16 IP addresses.
-
Full-height servers are 8 IP addresses.
-
NOTE: Note the
following:
-
The values of the number of IP addresses that are
less than the minimum value required for a server type are grayed
out.
-
If you select an option that is lesser than the default
value of the number of IP addresses reserved, an error message is
displayed warning that reducing the number of IP addresses prevents
quick deploy of profiles to higher capacity servers.
-
A warning message is logged in the CMC hardware log
(SEL) and an SNMP alert is generated.
-
The quick deploy prompt on the LCD panel is not
displayed if a higher capacity server is inserted in lower locations
when QuickDeploy feature is enabled. To see the quick deploy option
on the LCD panel for the higher capacity servers again change the
IP addresses value to the default value and reseat the higher capacity
servers.
|
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1)
|
Specifies the static IP address of iDRAC in the
server, in slot 1 of the enclosure. The IP address of each subsequent
iDRAC is incremented by 1 for each slot from slot 1's static IP address.
In the case where the IP address plus the slot number is greater than
the subnet mask, an error message is displayed.
-
NOTE: The subnet mask and
the gateway are not incremented like the IP address.
For example, if the starting IP address is
192.168.0.250 and the subnet mask is
255.255.0.0 then the QuickDeploy
IP address for slot 15 is
192.168.0.265. When you
try to set the fields starting IP address, reserved IP addresses,
and subnet mask values such that the combination may generate an IP
address outside the subnet, the
QuickDeploy IP address range
is not fully within QuickDeploy Subnet
error message is displayed
when you click the
Save QuickDeploy Settings or
Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings. For example, if the starting IP is
192.168.1.245, reserved IP addresses is 16 and subnet mask is
255.255.255.0, the IP addresses generated for slots beyond 11 are all outside
the subnet. Hence, trying to set this combination for QuickDeploy
settings generates an error message.
|
iDRAC IPv4 Netmask
|
Specifies the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is
assigned to all newly inserted servers.
|
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway
|
Specifies the QuickDeploy default gateway that
is assigned to all iDRAC present in the chassis.
|
Enable iDRAC IPv6
|
Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present
in the chassis that is IPv6 capable.
|
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Autoconfiguration
|
Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address
and prefix length) from a DHCPv6 server and also enables stateless
address auto configuration. By default, this option is enabled.
|
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway
|
Specifies the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned
to the iDRACs. The default value is "::".
|
iDRAC IPv6 Prefix Length
|
Specifies the prefix length to be assigned for
the IPv6 addresses on the iDRAC. The default value is 64.
|
Use CMC DNS Settings
|
Enables the CMC DNS Server settings ( IPv4 and
IPv6) that are propagated to iDRAC when a blade server is inserted
in the chassis.
|
Enable iDRAC DNS Name
|
Select
Enable iDRAC DNS Name to apply the iDRAC DNS name to the blade servers inserted in the chassis. You can provide the iDRAC DNS prefix, which the
CMC appends with the slot name. For example, if the iDRAC DNS prefix is, "DNSNAME", then the iDRAC DNS Name is appended with
the slot name, "DNSNAME-SlotN".
By default, the Enable iDRAC DNS Name is disabled.
|
iDRAC DNS Name (Prefix)
|
You can configure the iDRAC DNS name prefix only if Enable iDRAC DNS Name is selected. The DNS name prefix can contain a maximum
of 59 and a minimum of one character. The supported characters are:
-
Alphanumeric—"a-b" or "A-B"
-
Numeric—"0-9"
-
Hyphen—"–"
Ensure that the DNS name prefix does not begin with a hyphen. The default prefix is "idrac". Only the prefix of the iDRAC
DNS name is stored in the server profile.
