Security Options for the iDRAC6 Administrator
Disabling the iDRAC6 Local Configuration
Administrators can disable local configuration through the iDRAC6 graphical
user interface (GUI) by selecting iDRAC Settings Network/Security
Services. When the Disable the iDRAC Local Configuration using option
ROM check box is selected, the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility—accessed by
pressing <Ctrl+E> during system boot—operates in read-only mode,
preventing local users from configuring the device. When the administrator
selects the Disable the iDRAC Local Configuration using RACADM check
box, local users cannot configure the iDRAC6 through the RACADM utility, or
the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, although they can still read the
configuration settings.
Administrators can enable one or both of these options at the same time
using Web-based interface.
Disabling Local Configuration During System Reboot
This feature disables the ability of the managed system’s user to configure the
iDRAC6 during system reboot.
