Description
Provides remote access to CMC using a graphical user interface. The Web
interface is built into the CMC firmware and is accessed through the NIC interface
from a supported Web browser on the management station.
For a list of supported Web browsers, see the Supported Browsers section in the
Readme at dell.com/support/manuals.
Use this command line utility to manage CMC and its components. You can use
remote or firmware RACADM:
• Remote RACADM is a client utility that runs on a management station. It
uses the out-of-band network interface to run RACADM commands on the
managed system and uses the HTTPs channel. The –r option runs the
RACADM command over a network.
• Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or telnet.
You can run the firmware RACADM commands without specifying the
CMC IP, user name, or password. After you enter the RACADM prompt,
you can directly run the commands without the racadm prefix.
Use the LCD on the front panel to:
• View alerts, CMC IP or MAC address, user programmable strings.
• Set DHCP
• Configure CMC static IP settings.
To reset CMC without rebooting the server, press and hold the System
Identification button for 16 seconds.
Provides command line access to CMC through the network. The RACADM
command line interface and the connect command, which is used to connect to
the serial console of a server or IO module, are available from the CMC command
line.
NOTE: Telnet is not a secure protocol and is disabled by default. Telnet
transmits all data, including passwords in plain text. When transmitting
sensitive information, use the SSH interface.
Use SSH to run RACADM commands. It provides the same capabilities as the
Telnet console using an encrypted transport layer for higher security. The SSH
service is enabled by default on CMC and can be disabled.
The LC-Remote Services is based on the WS-Management protocol to do one-to-
many systems management tasks. You must use WS-MAN client such as WinRM
client (Windows) or the OpenWSMAN client (Linux) to use the LC-Remote
Services functionality. You can also use Power Shell and Python to script to the
WS-MAN interface.
Web Services for Management (WS-Management) is a Simple Object Access
Protocol (SOAP)–based protocol used for systems management. CMC uses WS–
Management to convey Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common
Information Model (CIM)–based management information. The CIM information
