IP Blocking"

Configure Platform Events

Platform events occur when iDRAC6 detects a warning or critical condition
from one of the managed server's sensors.
Configure Platform Event Filters (PEF) to choose the events you want to
detect, such as rebooting the managed server, when an event is detected.
• iDRAC6 Web interface — See "Configuring Platform Event Filters (PEF)"
• RACADM — See "Configuring PEF"
Configure Platform Event Traps (PET) to send alert notifications to an
IP address, such as a management station with IPMI software or to send an
e-mail to a specified e-mail address.
• iDRAC6 Web interface — See "Configuring Platform Event Traps (PET)"
• RACADM — See "Configuring PET"
Enabling or Disabling Local Configuration Access
Access to critical configuration parameters, such as network configuration
and user privileges, can be disabled. Once disabled, the setting remains
persistent across reboots. Configuration write access is blocked for both the
Local RACADM program and iDRAC6 Configuration Utility (at boot). Web
access to configuration parameters is unimpeded and configuration data is
always available for viewing. For information about iDRAC6 Web interface,
see "Enabling or Disabling Local Configuration Access." For cfgRacTuning
commands, see "cfgRacTuning."
Configure iDRAC6 Services
Enable or disable iDRAC6 network services — such as Telnet, SSH, and the
Web server interface — and reconfigure ports and other service parameters.
