6.3 Out-of-band management
Out-of-band (OOB) management is available for the PowerEdge R620 servers with the Hyper-V role
enabled through the iDRAC7 Enterprise. The optional PowerEdge R420 management server uses the
iDRAC7 Enterprise, which allows the PowerEdge R420 server to be remotely managed as needed.
iDRAC Enterprise features include:
 Remote systems management and monitoring
 Console redirection for remote system KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) functionality
 Virtual media that enables server access to local media drives on a management station
 Access to system logs
 Platform events and alerts that warn of potential problems by e-mail or simple network
management protocol (SNMP) traps
 Remote power management functionality
For more information, see the Embedded Server Management web site.
EqualLogic SAN OOB management is available via the dedicated management ports on each EqualLogic
PS6100 array storage controller. The PowerConnect 7024 switches provide a dedicated OOB port. The
PowerConnect 6224 switches are managed in-band from the PowerEdge R420 Management Server.
