Installation Manual

Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface 79
NOTE: The severity levels defined by the Remote Syslog protocol differ from the
standard IPMI System Event Log (SEL) severity levels. Hence all iDRAC6 Remote
Syslog entries are reported in the syslog server with severity level as Notice.
The following example shows the configuration objects and the RACADM
command usage to change remote syslog settings:
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogEnable [1/0] ; default is 0
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogServer1 <servername1> ; default is
blank
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogServer2 <servername2>; default is
blank
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogServer3 <servername3>; default is
blank
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogPort <portnumber>; default is 514
First Boot Device
This feature allows you to select the first boot device for your system and
enable Boot Once. The system boots from the selected device on the next
and subsequent reboots and remains as the first boot device in the BIOS boot
order, until it is changed again either from the iDRAC6 GUI or from the
BIOS Boot sequence.
The first boot device can be selected through the remote Web interface:
Syslog Server 1–3 Enter the Remote Syslog server address to log iDRAC6 messages
like SEL Log and RAC Log. Syslog server addresses allow
alphanumeric, -, ., :, and _ symbols.
Port Number Enter the port number of the Remote Syslog server. The port
number should be between 1 to 65535. Default is 514.
