iDRAC Configuration Utility
The iDRAC Configuration Utility is a pre-boot configuration environment
that allows you to view and set parameters for the iDRAC6 and for the
managed server.
The iDRAC Configuration Utility provides the following features:
• Enables fault logging and SNMP alerting.
• Provides access to system event log and sensor status.
• Allows control of system functions including power on and off.
• Functions independently of the system's power state or the system's
operating system.
• Provides text console redirection for system setup, text-based utilities,
and operating system consoles.
In addition the iDRAC Configuration Utility enables you to:
• Configure, enable, or disable the iDRAC6 local area network through the
dedicated iDRAC6 Enterprise card port or the embedded NIC1.
• Enable or disable IPMI over LAN.
• Enable a LAN Platform Event Trap (PET) destination.
• Attach or detach the Virtual Media devices.
• Change the administrative user name and password and
manage user privileges.
• View System Event Log (SEL) messages or clear messages from the log.
For additional information on using iDRAC6, see the documentation for
