Provisioning Dell servers
Creating provisioning credentials
Creating provisioning credentials
WS-MAN (Web Services for Management) is the protocol that the DRAC card uses
to communicate. The DRAC card sits on your Dell server and contains the DRAC
functionality. It lets you boot to a network ISO and handles features such as power
control, temperature control, remote management, and others. The DRAC runs
independently of the server; it can be on while the system is off. You can
communicate with the DRAC through its own Ethernet jack.
See
"About zero-touch provisioning"
You can use the First Time Setup page to create the WS-MAN credentials that
you want to use with the tasks that require authentication.
The credentials that you create are added to the DRAC. You can log on to the DRAC
later and complete all of your tasks that require authentication. These tasks
include booting to a network ISO and provisioning your servers.
