accepting and responding to secure HTTP requests from clients. This service is required by the web interface and remote RACADM CLI
tool for communicating with CMC.
If the web server resets, wait at least one minute for the services to become available again. A web server reset usually happens as a result
of any of the following events:
Network conguration or network security properties are changed through the CMC web user interface or RACADM.
Web server port conguration is changed through the web user interface or RACADM.
CMC is reset.
A new SSL server certicate is uploaded.
NOTE: To modify service settings, you must have the Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.
Remote syslog is an additional log target for CMC. After you congure the remote syslog, each new log entry generated by CMC is
forwarded to the respective destinations.
NOTE: Because the network transport for the forwarded log entries is UDP, there is no guaranteed delivery of log entries, nor is
there any feedback to CMC about whether the log entries were received successfully.
Conguring Services Using CMC Web Interface

1 In the left pane, click Chassis Overview, and then click Network > Services. The Services Management page is displayed.

For information about the elds, see the Online Help.
3 Click Apply, and then update all default time-out and maximum time-out limits.
Conguring Services Using RACADM
To enable and congure the various services, use the following RACADM objects:
cfgRacTuning
cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable
For more information about these objects, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line
Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
If the rmware on the server does not support a feature, conguring a property related to that feature displays an error. For example, using
RACADM to enable remote syslog on an unsupported iDRAC displays an error message.
Similarly, when displaying the iDRAC properties using the RACADM getconfig command, the property values are displayed as N/A for an
unsupported feature on the server.
For example:
$ racadm getconfig -g cfgSessionManagement -m server-1
# cfgSsnMgtWebServerMaxSessions=N/A
