Users Guide
• Status — This parameter is mandatory. The values are not case sensitive and the value can be true, false, or get.
• Port — This is the listening port number. If you do not provide a port number, the default port number (1266) is used. If the
Status parameter value is FALSE, then you can ignore rest of the parameters. You must enter a new port number that is not
already configured for this feature. The new port number settings overwrite the existing OS2iDRAC in-bound firewall rule and
you can use the new port number to connect to iDRAC. The value range is from 1024 to 65535.
• IPRange — This parameter is optional and it provides a range of IP addresses that are allowed to connect to iDRAC through the
host operating system. The IP address range format is in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format, which is a combination
of IP address and subnet mask. For example, 10.94.111.21/24. Access to iDRAC is restricted for IP addresses that are not within
the range.
NOTE: This feature supports only IPv4 addresses.
iDRAC access via Linux Operating Systems
You can install this feature by using the setup.sh file that is available with the Web pack. This feature is disabled on a default or
typical iSM installation. To get the status of this feature, use the following command:
Enable-iDRACAccessHostRoute get-status
To install, enable, and configure this feature, use the following command:
./Enable-iDRACAccessHostRoute <Enable-Flag> [ <source-port> <source-IP-range/source-ip-
range-mask>]
<Enable-
Flag>=0
Disable
<source-port> and <source-IP-range/source-ip-range-mask> are
not required.
<Enable-
Flag>=1
Enable
<source-port> is required and <source-ip-range-mask> is optional.
<source-IP-
range>
IP range in <IP-Address/subnet-mask> format. Example: 10.95.146.98/24
Coexistence of OpenManage Server Administrator and iDRAC Service Module
In a system, both OpenManage Server Administrator and the iDRAC Service Module can co-exist and continue to function correctly
and independently.
If you have enabled the monitoring features during the iDRAC Service Module installation, then after the installation is complete if
the iDRAC Service Module detects the presence of OpenManage Server Administrator, it disables the set of monitoring features
that overlap. If OpenManage Server Administrator is running, the iDRAC Service Module disables the overlapping monitoring
features after logging to the OS and iDRAC.
When you re-enable these monitoring features through the iDRAC interfaces later, the same checks are performed and the features
are enabled depending on whether OpenManage Server Administrator is running or not.
Using iDRAC Service Module from iDRAC web interface
To use the iDRAC Service Module from the iDRAC web interface:
1. Go to Overview → Server → Service Module.
The iDRAC Service Module Setup page is displayed.
2. You can view the following:
• Installed iDRAC Service Module version on the host operating system
• Connection status of the iDRAC Service Module with iDRAC.
3. To perform out-of-band monitoring functions, select one or more of the following options:
• OS Information — View the operating system information.
• Replicate Lifecycle Log in OS Log — Include Lifecycle Controller logs to operating system logs. This option is disabled if
OpenManage Server Administrator is installed on the system.
