Table 18. QuickDeploy Settings (continued)
Setting Description
Enable iDRAC IPv4 DHCP Enables or disables DHCP for each iDRAC present in the chassis. If this option is
enabled, the fields QuickDeploy IP, QuickDeploy Subnet Mask, and
QuickDeploy Gateway are disabled, and cannot be modified since DHCP is used to
automatically assign these settings for each iDRAC. To select this option, you must
select the Enable iDRAC IPv4 option. Quick Deploy IP address is provided with two
options — 2 and 4.
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) Specifies the static IP address of iDRAC in the server, in slot 1 of the enclosure. The
IP address of each subsequent iDRAC is incremented by 1 for each slot from slot 1's
static IP address. In the case where the IP address plus the slot number is greater
than the subnet mask, an error message is displayed.
NOTE: The subnet mask and the gateway are not incremented such as
the IP address.
For example, if the starting IP address is 192.168.0.250 and the subnet mask is
255.255.0.0 then the QuickDeploy IP address for slot 15 is 192.168.0.265. If
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the QuickDeploy IP address range
is not fully within QuickDeploy Subnet error message is displayed
when you click Save QuickDeploy Settings or Auto-Populate Using
QuickDeploy Settings.
iDRAC IPv4 Netmask Specifies the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned to all newly inserted servers.
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway Specifies the QuickDeploy default gateway that is assigned to all the DRAC present
in the chassis.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present in the chassis that is IPv6 capable.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Autoconfiguration Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address and prefix length) from a
DHCPv6 server and also enables stateless address auto configuration. By default,
this option is enabled.
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Specifies the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the iDRACs. The default value
is "::".
iDRAC IPv6 Prefix Length Specifies the prefix length to be assigned for the IPv6 addresses on the iDRAC. The
default value is 64.
Use CMC DNS Settings Communicates the CMC DNS server settings (IPv4 and IPv6) to iDRAC when a
blade server is inserted in the chassis.
Enable iDRAC DNS Name Select Enable iDRAC DNS Name to apply the iDRAC DNS name prefix to the blade
servers inserted in the chassis. By default, the Enable iDRAC DNS Name is disabled.
iDRAC DNS Name (Prefix) You can configure the iDRAC DNS name prefix only if Enable iDRAC DNS Name is
selected. The DNS name prefix can contain a maximum of 59 and a minimum of one
character. The supported characters are:
• Alphanumeric—"a-b" or "A-B"
• Numeric—"0-9"
• Hyphen—"–"
Ensure that the DNS name prefix does not begin with a hyphen. The default prefix is
"idrac". Only the prefix of the iDRAC DNS name is stored in the server profile.
3. Click Save QuickDeploy Settings to save the settings. If you have changed the iDRAC network setting, click Apply iDRAC
Network Settings to deploy the settings to the iDRAC.
The QuickDeploy feature only executes when it is enabled, and a server is inserted in the chassis. If Set iDRAC Root Password on
Server Insertion and QuickDeploy Enabled are enabled, the user is prompted using the LCD interface to allow or not allow the
password change. If there are network configuration settings that differ from the current iDRAC settings, the user is prompted to
either accept or reject the changes.
NOTE:
If there is a LAN or IPMI over LAN difference, the user is prompted to accept the QuickDeploy IP address
setting. If the difference is the DHCP setting, the user is prompted to accept the DHCP QuickDeploy setting.
