Manage the iDRAC IP Address
The
SC8000
controller
includes
the
Integrated
Dell
Remote
Access
Controller
(iDRAC7)
that
is
factory
configured
for
Dynamic
Host
Configuration
Protocol
(DHCP).
The
iDRAC
can
be
left
with
the
original
configuration
or
it
can
be
assigned
a
static
IP
address.
To
see
if
the
iDRAC
is
set
to
use
a
static
IP
address
or
DHCP,
run
the
following
command:
platform bmc get source
To
see
what
IP
address
is
assigned
to
the
iDRAC,
run
the
following
command:
platform bmc show
To
set
the
iDRAC
to
a
static
IP
address,
run
the
following
commands:
platform bmc set ip [IP address]
platform bmc set netmask [netmask]
platform bmc set gateway [gateway]
Example:
platform bmc set ip 10.0.0.12
platform bmc set netmask 255.255.255.0
platform bmc set gateway 10.0.0.1
To
set
the
iDRAC
to
use
DHCP,
run
the
following
command:
platform bmc set source DHCP
Note
that
DHCP
must
be
entered
in
all
caps.
Note:
If
configuring
a
dual
‐
controller
Storage
Center,
perform
this
task
for
both
controllers.
Note:
To
use
the
iDRAC
in
a
non
‐
DHCP
environment,
a
static
IP
address
must
be
set.
Note:
On
a
dual
‐
controller
Storage
Center,
change
the
iDRAC
IP
address
on
both
SC8000
controllers.
