Interfaces to access OME-Modular After configuring the network settings in OME-Modular, you can remotely access OME-Modular using various interfaces. The following table lists the interfaces that you can use to remotely access OME-Modular. Table 5. Management module Interfaces Interface Description Web interface Provides remote access to OME-Modular using a graphical user interface. The web interface is built into the OME-Modular firmware and is accessed through the NIC interface from a supported web browser on the management station. The number of user sessions that are allowed for each interface is: ● Web interface - 6 ● RESTful API - 32 ● SSH - 4 For a list of supported web browsers, see the Supported browsers section in the OME Modular for PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis Release Notes available at https:// www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals. Remote RACADM command-line interface Use this command-line utility to manage OME-Modular and its components. You can use remote or firmware RACADM: ● Remote RACADM is a client utility that runs on a management station. It uses the out-of-band network interface to run RACADM commands on the managed system and uses the HTTPs channel. The -r option runs the RACADM command over a network. ● Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to OME-Modular using SSH or telnet. You can run the firmware RACADM commands without specifying the OME- Modular IP, user name, or password. After you enter the RACADM prompt, you can directly run the commands without the RACADM prefix. NOTE: A log for remote RACADM session (login or logout) is displayed in the Audit Logs page, irrespective of the remote RACADM status. However, the feature does not work if the remote RACADM option is disabled. LCD Use the LCD on the front panel to: ● View alerts, OME-Modular IP or MAC address. ● Set DHCP ● Configure OME-Modular static IP settings. ● View OME-Modular MAC address for the active MM. ● View the OME-Modular VLAN ID appended to the end of MM IP, if the VLAN is already configured. ● At-the-box management-Create a group, join group, leave group, or delete group. ● At-the-box storage mapping resolution on compute sled replacement condition. NOTE: The data refresh can take several seconds depending on OME-Modular response. This is typically 1-5 seconds, but can be longer if the OME-Modular is busy. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, check OME-Modular response using GUI or RACADM. For more information about the LCD touch panel, see the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 Enclosure Installation and Service Manual. SSH RESTful API and Redfish Use SSH to connect to the MX7000 chassis and run RACADM commands locally. The Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API is a standard that the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) has defined. Redfish is a next-generation systems management interface standard, which enables scalable, secure, and open server management. It is a new interface that uses RESTful interface semantics to access data that is defined in model format to perform out-of-band systems management. It is suitable for a wide range of servers ranging from stand-alone servers to rack mount and bladed environments and for large-scale cloud environments. 40 Logging in to OME-Modular

Interfaces to access OME-Modular
After configuring the network settings in OME–Modular, you can remotely access OME-Modular using various interfaces. The
following table lists the interfaces that you can use to remotely access OME–Modular.
Table 5. Management module Interfaces
Interface
Description
Web interface
Provides remote access to OME–Modular using a graphical user interface. The web
interface is built into the OME–Modular firmware and is accessed through the NIC
interface from a supported web browser on the management station. The number of
user sessions that are allowed for each interface is:
●
Web interface – 6
●
RESTful API – 32
●
SSH – 4
For a list of supported web browsers, see the Supported browsers section in the
OME -
Modular for PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis Release Notes
available at

.
Remote RACADM command-line
interface
Use this command-line utility to manage OME–Modular and its components. You can
use remote or firmware RACADM:
●
Remote RACADM is a client utility that runs on a management station. It uses the
out-of-band network interface to run RACADM commands on the managed system
and uses the HTTPs channel. The
–r
option runs the RACADM command over a
network.
●
Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to OME–Modular using SSH or telnet.
You can run the firmware RACADM commands without specifying the OME–
Modular IP, user name, or password. After you enter the RACADM prompt, you can
directly run the commands without the RACADM prefix.
NOTE:
A log for remote RACADM session (login or logout) is displayed in the
Audit
Logs
page, irrespective of the remote RACADM status. However, the feature does
not work if the remote RACADM option is disabled.
LCD
Use the LCD on the front panel to:
●
View alerts, OME–Modular IP or MAC address.
●
Set DHCP
●
Configure OME–Modular static IP settings.
●
View OME–Modular MAC address for the active MM.
●
View the OME–Modular VLAN ID appended to the end of MM IP, if the VLAN is
already configured.
●
At-the-box management—Create a group, join group, leave group, or delete group.
●
At-the-box storage mapping resolution on compute sled replacement condition.
NOTE:
The data refresh can take several seconds depending on OME-Modular
response. This is typically 1-5 seconds, but can be longer if the OME-Modular is
busy. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, check OME-Modular response using GUI or
RACADM.

SSH
Use SSH to connect to the MX7000 chassis and run RACADM commands locally.
