Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
Using the Web Interface
iDRAC6 provides a Web interface that enables you to configure iDRAC6
properties and users, perform remote management tasks, and troubleshoot a
remote (managed) system for problems. You would typically use the Web
interface to perform your daily system management tasks. This chapter
provides information about how to perform common systems management
tasks with iDRAC6 Web interface and provides links to related information.
Most configuration tasks for which you would use the web interface could
also be performed with local or remote RACADM commands or with SM-
CLP commands.
Local RACADM commands are executed from the managed server. Remote
RACADM is a client utility run on a management station, and makes use of
the out
-of-band interface to communicate with the managed server. This
utility is used with the –r option to execute commands over a network. For
more information about RACADM, see "Using the RACADM Command
Line Interface."
SM-CLP commands are executed in a shell that can be accessed remotely
with a Telnet or SSH connection. For more information about SM-CLP,
see "Using iDRAC6 Enterprise SM-CLP Command Line Interface."
