Configuring the ESX Server 3i Software
The following section describes how to edit the ESX server host settings via
the DCUI. The DCUI can be used to:
•
Configure keyboard language
•
Set/modify DCUI Password
•
Configure/test/reset Management Services
•
Enable/disable Lock Down Mode
• View Dell Support information
•
View ESX system logs
•

Configure Keyboard Language
The DCUI supports keyboard languages/styles English (default), French,
German, Japanese, and Russian.
Dell strongly recommends setting the keyboard language before setting the
ESX password. Setting the password and then changing the keyboard
language may result in loss of the ability to log in to the DCUI again. If this
should happen, you may need to reimage your internal storage device further
resulting in the loss of your settings. Please contact Dell support if you find
yourself in this situation.
To set the keyboard language:
1
At the main ESX Server 3i host screen (see Figure 6 or Figure 7), press
<F2> to enter the configuration screen.
2
Scroll down to
Configure Keyboard
, and then press <Enter>.
3
Select your keyboard language, then press the <ESC> key several times to
log out of the DCUI.
Password Configuration
The DCUI supports the configuration of a password to control access to the
ESX host settings; Dell strongly recommends setting a password to ensure
only authorized persons gain access to your ESX host.
