Configuring the iDRAC 51
Dell highly recommends that for security purposes you create a separate user
account for IPMI commands with its own user name, IPMI over LAN
privileges, and password.
1
Navigate to iDRAC → Network/Security → Users .
2 Click on the number of an undefined User .
3 Enable the User and enter a Name and Password .
4 Make sure Maximum LAN User Privilege Granted is set to Administrator .
5 Click Apply to save your changes.
Using the Dell IT Assistant to View iDRAC Status and Events
After Discovery is complete, the iDRACs will show up in the Servers category
of the ITA Devices detail screen, and iDRAC information can be seen by
clicking on the iDRAC name. This is different than DRAC5 systems, where
the management card shows up in the RAC group. This is due to the fact that
iDRAC uses IPMI discovery as opposed to SNMP.
iDRAC error and warning traps can now be seen in the primary Alert Log of
IT Assistant. They will show up in the Unknown category, but the trap
description and severity will be accurate.

please read the IT Assistant User's Guide.
