Figure 4: Management Subnet
iDRAC is an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that provides a GUI-based out-of-band
interface
for monitoring the hardware appliance. iDRAC uses NIC1 for its network connectivity using a
unique MAC address.
Note: iDRAC may also be refereed to as Lifecycle Controller.
DNS Entries
In order to manage your CloudVision cluster, it is often easier to connect to them by hostname as opposed to IP
address. Fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) should be allocated to:
• Each of the CloudVision Appliance host machines.
• Each of the CloudVision Appliance iDRAC interfaces.
• Each of the CloudVision Portal (CVP) nodes.
• Each of the CloudVision Server (CVX) nodes.
Contact your DNS zone administrator for assistance.
CloudVision Appliance IP Configuration
The CloudVision Appliance Host and iDRAC IP addresses can be allocated in either of two ways:
Option 1: Using an available DHCP server
• DHCP Based IP Address Setup
.
• Web Access into Host via WOK .
Option 2: Manual configuration (Requires terminal connected to VGA port)
