4 Configuring the DR Series System Settings This topic introduces the concept that before you can run any DR Series system operations, you first need to understand the following key tasks: • How to initialize the system • How to shut down or reboot the system • How to manage the system password Initializing the DR Series system requires that you configure and manage a number of very important system settings. NOTE: Dell recommends that you use the Initial System Configuration Wizard to configure your DR Series system. Changing some of the system settings using the DR Series system GUI (such as bonding, MTU, hostname, IP address, and DNS) can cause issues that may affect your DR Series system GUI access. For more information about initializing the system, see Initializing the DR Series System. For more information about shutting down or rebooting the system, see Shutting Down the DR Series System and Rebooting the DR Series System. For more information about managing the system password, see Managing the DR Series System Password. Configuring Networking Settings You can configure the networking settings that were configured using the Initial System Configuration Wizard process for the DR Series system in the following tabs: NOTE: For the Ethernet port settings on the NICs, this example only shows Eth0 and Eth1 (depending upon your system configuration, you could have NICs configured with Ethernet port settings in the Eth0-Eth5 range). For more information, see Local Console Connection. • Hostname - Hostname (FQDN) - iDRAC IP Address • DNS - Domain Suffix - Primary DNS - Secondary DNS • Interfaces - Device - Mode - MAC Address - MTU (maximum transmission unit) - Bonding Option 41
