Configuring the DRAC 5 Using the Web User
Interface
The DRAC 5 provides a Web-based interface and RACADM (a command-line interface) that
enables you to configure the DRAC 5 properties and users, perform remote management tasks, and
troubleshoot a remote (managed) system for problems. For everyday systems management, use the
DRAC 5 Web-based interface. This chapter provides information about how to perform common
systems management tasks with the DRAC 5 Web-based interface and provides links to related
information.
All Web-based interface configuration tasks can also be performed with RACADM. For a list of all
RACADM and serial/telnet/ssh console commands that can be used to perform the text-based
equivalents of each task, see "Using the RACADM Command Line Interface."
See your DRAC 5 online help for context sensitive information about each Web-based interface
page.
