Initial system configuration 2 Before You Begin CAUTION: The enclosure power supplies must be connected to a Type B or permanentlyconnected PDU and not directly to an electrical outlet. The AC power supplies require a 100 V to 120 V or 200 V to 240 V power source. You can select only one AC power input, as the system does not operate at both ranges simultaneously. For DC power supplies, plug the other end of the power cables to a branch circuit-protective ground DC power source of –(48–60) V DC.
Initial CMC Network Configuration The CMC is preset for DHCP. To use a static IP address, you must toggle the CMC setting from DHCP to a static address by either running the LCD configuration wizard, or by using a management station and CLI commands. If toggled to use a static address, the CMC IP address defaults to the standard IP address settings of 192.168.0.120, 255.255.255.0, and gateway of 192.168.0.1. You can change this address to an IP address of your choice.
NOTE: If you want to use static addresses rather than DHCP to access the iDRACs, you must configure them using the CMC web-based interface or CLI. Configuring The CMC Using A Management Station And CLI The LCD configuration wizard is the quickest way to initially configure the CMC network settings. However, you can also use a management station and a local connection to access the CMC. There are two ways to create a local connection to the CMC: • The CMC Console, using the optional iKVM.
By default, the CMC name on the DNS server is cmc- The CMC Login page is displayed. NOTE: The default CMC user name is root, and the password is calvin. The root account is the default administrative account that ships with the CMC. For added security, you must change the default password of the root account during initial setup. NOTE: The CMC does not support extended ASCII characters, such as ß, å, é, ü, or other characters used primarily in non-English languages.
You can customize the privileges settings for the user by using the check boxes. After you have selected a CMC Group or made Custom user privilege selections, click Apply Changes to save the settings. When you select a user privilege setting from the CMC Group drop-down menu, the enabled privileges (shown as checked boxes in the list) are displayed according to the pre-defined settings for that group.
Configuring And Managing Power You can use the web-based and RACADM interfaces to manage and configure power controls on the CMC, as outlined in the following sections. For more information on the various power management options, see the CMC User’s Guide at support.dell.com/manuals. The CMC’s power management service optimizes power consumption for the entire chassis (the chassis, servers, I/O modules, iKVM, CMC, and PSUs) and re-allocates power to different modules based on the demand.
• Default configuration files Use the Firmware Update page to update the CMC firmware to the latest revision. When you run the firmware update, the update retains the current CMC settings. NOTE: The firmware update, by default, retains the current CMC settings. During the update process, you have the option to reset the CMC configuration settings back to the factory default settings. Updating The CMC Firmware Using The Web-Based Interface 1. Log in to the web-based interface. 2.
NOTE: The default iKVM firmware image name is ikvm.bin. However, the iKVM firmware image name can be renamed. If you are unable to locate ikvm.bin, verify if another user has renamed the file. 6. Click Update. A dialog box prompts you to confirm the action. 7. Click Yes to continue. When the update is complete, the iKVM resets.
NOTE: Soft switching allows you to switch servers using a hot key sequence. To soft switch to a server, press and type the first few characters of its name or number. If you have a Delay Time set and you press the key sequences before that time has elapsed, OSCAR does not display. Configuring The Analog Switch 1. Press to launch the iKVM Switch OSCAR. 2. Click Setup → Devices → Device Modify. 3. Select the 16-port option to match the number of blades in your system. 4.
3. Click Next. A Polling Remote Console Switch message box is displayed with a progress bar indicating that the switch information is being retrieved. 4. If no changes were detected in the appliance, a completion dialog box is displayed with this information. If server changes were detected, then the Detected Changes dialog box is displayed. 5. Click Next to update the database. If a cascade switch was detected, the Enter Cascade Switch Information dialog box is displayed. 6.
FlexAddress allows the CMC to assign WWN/MAC IDs to a particular slot and override the factory IDs. If the server module is replaced, the slot-based WWN/MAC ID remains the same. This feature eliminates the need to reconfigure Ethernet network management tools and SAN resources for a new server module. Additionally, the override action only occurs when a server module is inserted in a FlexAddress enabled chassis; no permanent changes are made to the server module.
Configuring The I/O Modules 3 Network Information You can configure your I/O switch modules using: • CMC web-based interface. NOTE: The default IP address for the CMC is 192.168.0.120. • CMC CLI using serial console redirection. • Direct access to the I/O module serial port (if supported). • I/O module default IP address (if supported). I/O Connectivity The enclosure supports three layers of I/O fabric, selectable between combinations of Ethernet, fibrechannel, and Infiniband modules.
Fabric B Fabric B is a 1 to 40 Gb/sec redundant fabric, supporting I/O module slots B1 and B2. Fabric B currently supports 1 Gb or 10 Gb Ethernet, DDR/QDR Infiniband, and 4 Gbps or 8 Gbps fibre channel modules. Additional fabric types may be supported in the future.
