Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the
Web Interface
The iDRAC6 provides a Web interface that enables you to configure the
iDRAC6 properties and users, perform remote management tasks, and
troubleshoot a remote (managed) system for problems. For everyday systems
management, use the iDRAC6 Web interface. This chapter provides
information about how to perform common systems management tasks with
the iDRAC6 Web interface and provides links to related information.
Most Web interface configuration tasks can also be performed with
RACADM commands or with Server Management-Command Line Protocol
(SM-CLP) commands.
Local RACADM commands are executed from the managed server.
SM-CLP and SSH/Telnet RACADM commands are executed in a shell that
can be accessed remotely with a Telnet or SSH connection. For more
information about SM-CLP, see "Using the iDRAC6 SM-CLP Command
Line Interface" on page 229. For more information about RACADM
commands see the RACADM iDRAC6 and CMC Command Line Reference
Guide available on the Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals.
