Configuring iDRAC6 For Use With IT Assistant
Dell OpenManage IT Assistant can discover managed devices that comply
with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1 and v2c and
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v2.0.
iDRAC6 complies with IPMI v2.0. This section describes the steps necessary
to configure iDRAC6 for discovery and monitoring by IT Assistant. There are
two ways to accomplish this: through iDRAC6 Configuration Utility and
through iDRAC6 graphical Web interface.
Using iDRAC6 Configuration Utility to Enable
Discovery and Monitoring
To set up iDRAC6 for IPMI discovery and sending alert traps at iDRAC6
Configuration Utility level, restart your managed server (blade) and observe
its power-up using the iKVM and either a remote monitor and console
keyboard or a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection. When Press
<Ctrl-E> for Remote Access Setup displays, press <Ctrl><E>.
When iDRAC6 Configuration Utility screen appears, use the arrow keys to
scroll down.
