Viewing Profile Log

To view the profile log, in the BIOS Profiles page, see the Recent Profile Log section that lists the 10 latest profile log
entries directly from server cloning operations. Each recent profile log displays the severity, the time and date when
server cloning operation was submitted, and the description of the cloning log message. The log entries are also
available in the RAC log. To view the other available entries, click Go to Profile Log. The Profile Log page is displayed.

Completion Status and Troubleshooting

To check the completion status of an applied BIOS profile:
1. In the BIOS Profiles page, note down the Job ID (JID) of the submitted job from the Recent Profile Log section.
2. In the system tree, go to Server Overview and click Troubleshooting → Lifecycle Controller Jobs. Look up the same
JID in the Jobs table.

Launching iDRAC using Single Sign-On

CMC provides limited management of individual chassis components, such as servers. For complete management of
these individual components, CMC provides a launch point for the server's management controller (iDRAC) Web-based
interface.
A user may be able to launch iDRAC Web interface without having to login a second time, as this feature utilizes single
sign-on. Single sign-on policies are:
• A CMC user who has server administrative privilege, is automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on.
Once on the iDRAC site, this user is automatically granted Administrator privileges. This is true even if the same
user does not have an account on iDRAC, or if the account does not have the Administrator's privileges.
• A CMC user who does NOT have the server administrative privilege, but has the same account on iDRAC is
automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. Once on the iDRAC site, this user is granted the privileges
that were created for the iDRAC account.
• A CMC user who does not have the server administrative privilege, or the same account on the iDRAC, does
NOT automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. This user is directed to the iDRAC login page when
the Launch iDRAC GUI is clicked.
NOTE: The term "the same account" in this context means that the user has the same login name with a
matching password for CMC and for iDRAC. The user who has the same login name without a matching
password, is considered to have the same account.
NOTE: Users may be prompted to log in to iDRAC (see the third Single Sign-on policy bullet above).
NOTE: If the iDRAC network LAN is disabled (LAN Enabled = No), single sign-on is not available.
If the server is removed from the chassis, the iDRAC IP address is changed, or the iDRAC network connection
experiences a problem, then clicking Launch iDRAC GUI may display an error page.
