iDRAC6 Overview
The Integrated Dell™ Remote Access Controller6 (iDRAC6) is a systems
management hardware and software solution that provides remote
management capabilities, crashed system recovery, and power control
functions for Dell PowerEdge™ systems.
The iDRAC6 uses an integrated System-on-Chip microprocessor for the
remote monitor/control system. The iDRAC6 co-exists on the system board
with the managed PowerEdge server. The server operating system is concerned
with executing applications; the iDRAC6 is concerned with monitoring and
managing the server’s environment and state outside of the operating system.
You can configure the iDRAC6 to send you an e-mail or Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) trap alert for warnings or errors. To help you
diagnose the probable 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.
The iDRAC6 network interface is enabled with a static IP address of
192.168.0.120 by default. It must be configured before the iDRAC6 is
accessible. After the iDRAC6 is configured on the network, it can be accessed
at its assigned IP address with the iDRAC6 Web interface, Telnet, or
Shell (SSH)
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).

iDRAC6 Express Management Features
Secure
The iDRAC6 Express provides the following management features:
• Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) registration
• Remote system management and monitoring using a Web interface and
the SM-CLP command line over a serial, Telnet, or SSH connection
®
• Support for Microsoft
iDRAC6 user IDs and passwords in Active Directory using an extended
schema or a standard schema

iDRAC6 Overview 27
• Monitoring — Provides access to system information and status of
components
• Access to system logs — Provides access to the system event log,
the iDRAC6 log, and the last crash screen of the crashed or unresponsive
system, that is independent of the operating system state
• Dell OpenManage™ software integration — Enables you to launch the
iDRAC6 Web interface from Dell OpenManage Server Administrator or
Dell OpenManage IT Assistant
• iDRAC6 alert — Alerts you to potential managed node issues through an
e-mail message or SNMP trap
• Remote power management — Provides remote power management
functions, such as shutdown and reset, from a management console
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) support
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption — Provides secure remote system
management through the Web interface
• Password-level security management — Prevents unauthorized access to a
remote system
• Role-based authority — Provides assignable permissions for different
systems management tasks
• IPv6 support — Adds IPv6 support such as providing access to the
iDRAC6 Web interface using an IPv6 address, specifies iDRAC6 NIC IPv6
address, and specifies a destination number to configure an IPv6 SNMP
alert destination.
• WS-MAN support —
Provides network accessible management using the
Web Services for Management (WS-MAN) protocol.
• SM-CLP support — Adds
Server Management-Command Line Protocol
(SM-CLP) support, which provides standards for systems management
CLI implementations.
• Firmware rollback and recovery — Allows you to boot from (or rollback to)
the firmware image of your choice.

iDRAC6 Enterprise and vFlash Media
Adds support for RACADM, virtual KVM, Virtual Media features, a dedicated
NIC, and Virtual Flash (with an optional Dell vFlash Media card). Virtual
Flash allows you to store emergency boot images and diagnostic tools on the
vFlash Media. For more information about iDRAC6 Enterprise and vFlash
Media, see your Hardware Owner’s Manual at support.dell.com\manuals.
