iDRAC6 Enterprise Overview

The Integrated Dell™ Remote Access Controller (iDRAC6) Enterprise is a systems management hardware and software solution that provides remote management capabilities, crashed system recovery, and power control functions for Dell PowerEdge™ systems.

iDRAC6 uses an integrated system-on-chip microprocessor for the remote monitor/control system, and co-exists on the system board with the managed Dell PowerEdge server. The server operating system executes application programs; iDRAC6 monitors and manages the server’s environment and state outside of the operating system.

iDRAC6 can be configured to send an e-mail or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap alert for warnings or errors. To help you diagnose the cause of a system crash, iDRAC6 can log event data and capture an image of the screen when it detects that the system has crashed.

Managed servers are installed in a Dell M1000e system enclosure (chassis) with modular power supplies, cooling fans, and a Chassis Management Controller (CMC). CMC monitors and manages all components installed in the chassis. A redundant CMC can be added to provide hot failover if the primary CMC fails. The chassis provides access to iDRAC6 devices through its LCD display, local console connections, and its Web interface. Each blade in a chassis has an iDRAC6. A total of 16 blades can be installed in the M1000e.

All network connections to iDRAC6 are routed through CMC network interfaces (CMC RJ45 connection port labeled "GB1"). CMC routes traffic to the iDRAC6 devices through a private, internal network. This private management network is outside of the server’s data path and outside of the operating system’s control—that is, it is out-of-band. The managed server inband network interfaces are accessed through I/O modules (IOMs) installed in the chassis.

NOTE: It is recommended that you isolate or separate the chassis management

network, used by iDRAC6 and CMC, from your production network(s). Mixing management and production or application network traffic may cause congestion or network saturation resulting in CMC and iDRAC6 communication delays. The delays may cause unpredictable chassis behavior such as CMC displaying that iDRAC6 is offline even though it is operating properly. This may also cause other unpredictable behavior.

iDRAC6 network interface is disabled by default. It must be configured before iDRAC6 is accessible. After iDRAC6 is enabled and configured on the network, it can be accessed through its assigned IP address with iDRAC6 Web interface, Telnet or SSH, and supported network management protocols, such as Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).

IPv6 Ready Logo Certification

The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee's mission is to define the test specifications for IPv6 conformance and interoperability testing, to provide access to self

-test tools, and to deliver the IPv6 Ready Logo.

iDRAC6 is Phase 02-C-000380. For information on the IPv6 Ready Logo Program, see http://www.ipv6ready.org/.
