Auto-discovery
The Auto-discovery feature allows newly installed servers to automatically discover the remote management console that hosts the
provisioning server. The provisioning server provides custom administrative user credentials to iDRAC so that the unprovisioned server
can be discovered and managed from the management console. For more information about provisioning server, see the Schnellstart-
Benutzerhandbuch für Lifecycle Controller Remote Services verfügbar unter https://www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
Provisioning server works with a static IP address. Auto-discovery feature on the iDRAC is used to find the provisioning server using
DHCP/Unicast DNS/mDNS.
When iDRAC has the console address, it sends its own service tag, IP address, Redfish port number, Web certificate etc.
This information is periodically published to consoles.
DHCP, DNS server, or the default DNS host name discovers the provisioning server. If DNS is specified, the provisioning server IP is
retrieved from DNS and the DHCP settings are not required. If the provisioning server is specified, discovery is skipped so neither DHCP
nor DNS is required.
Auto-discovery can be enabled using the following ways:
1. Using iDRAC GUI: iDRAC Settings > Connectivity > iDRAC Auto Discover
