38 Configuring the iDRAC
• iDRAC Web interface — see "Configuring IP Filtering and IP Blocking" on
page 77
• RACADM — see "Configuring IP Filtering (IpRange)" on page 211,
"Configuring IP Blocking" on page 213
Configure Platform Events
Platform events occur when the iDRAC detects a warning or critical
condition from one of the managed server’s sensors.
Configure Platform Event Filters (PEFs) to choose the events you want to
detect, such as rebooting the managed server, when an event is detected.
• iDRAC Web interface — see "Configuring Platform Event Filters (PEF)"
on page 80
• RACADM — see "Configuring PEF" on page 208
Configure Platform Event Traps (PETs) to send alert notifications to an IP
address, such as a management station with IPMI software or to send an
e-mail to a specified e-mail address.
• iDRAC Web interface — see "Configuring Platform Event Traps (PET)"
on page 80
• RACADM — see "Configuring PET" on page 209
Enabling or Disabling Local Configuration Access
Access to critical configuration parameters, such as network configuration
and user privileges, can be disabled. Once disabled, the setting remains
persistent across reboots. Configuration write access is blocked for both the
local RACADM program and the iDRAC Configuration Utility (at boot).
Web access to configuration parameters is unimpeded and configuration data
is always available for viewing. For information about the iDRAC Web
interface, see "Enabling or Disabling Local Configuration Access" on page 98.
For cfgRac Tuning commands, see "cfgRacTuning" on page 330.
Configure iDRAC Services
Enable or disable the iDRAC network services — such as telnet, SSH, and the
Web server interface — and reconfigure ports and other service parameters.
• iDRAC Web interface — see "Configuring iDRAC Services" on page 99
