BMC Configuration and Management Tasks The following sections document the basic tasks needed to set up and configure the BMC on a managed system in preparation for using the BMC Management Utility. These basic tasks are: • Configuring the BMC • Managing the BMC Configuring the BMC To configure the BMC on a managed system in a pre-boot environment, you can use: • Dell Deployment Toolkit (DTK) • Remote Access Configuration Utility • Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) 5 graphical user interface (GUI) • command line interface (CLI) from a management station depending on the scope of your required configuration tasks. Alternately, you can configure the BMC on a managed system with a running operating system using the Server Administrator home page GUI or CLI. See "Baseboard Management Controller Configuration" for more information. Managing the System Using BMC To manage the BMC in a pre-boot environment, or to access the BMC of a system, you can use the BMC Management Utility. See "Using the BMC Management Utility." To configure the BMC on a system with a running operating system or to perform everyday BMC management tasks, you can use the GUI on the Server Administrator home page. See the Server Administrator User's Guide for more information about using Server Administrator to manage your system's BMC functions.
