Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 EMC Systems Management Overview Guide Version 20.0 - Page 9

On 14th generation of the PowerEdge servers or MX7000: OMM can access PowerEdge 14th generation servers or MX7000 through Quick Sync 2 module. After it gets connected, IT administrators can configure IP addresses and BIOS settings, share Dell EMC SupportAssist reports, view server inventory, health status and logs, or power cycle a server. Quick Sync 2 is supported on many PowerEdge rack and tower servers, such as R940, R940xa, R840, R740, R740xd, R640, R540, R440, R6415, R6515, R6525, R7515, R7425, R7415, and T640. On 13th generation of the PowerEdge servers: OMM can access PowerEdge 13th generation servers through the Quick Sync bezel. After connected, IT administrators can configure IP addresses, view server inventory, health status and logs, or power cycle a server. Quick Sync bezel is supported on PowerEdge R730, R730xd, and R630 servers. NOTE: For at-the-server access, you must install the Quick Sync 2 module or the Quick Sync bezel. NOTE: For at-the-chassis access, you must install the Quick Sync 2 module on MX7000. • Access iDRAC or MX7000 remotely OMM can access 12th, 13th, and 14th generation of the PowerEdge servers remotely over a secure, internal network from anywhere. After connected, IT administrators can configure IP addresses and BIOS settings, share Dell EMC SupportAssist reports, view server inventory, health status and logs, or power cycle a server. When you access an MX7000 lead chassis remotely, you automatically get access to any of the member chassis and sleds. Note that the access to MX7000 remotely happens through OpenManage Enterprise Modular running on that MX7000. NOTE: Features vary by server-model and generation. To access iDRAC, OpenManage Enterprise remotely, there is no additional hardware required other than the Android or IOS devices. • Access servers remotely through OpenManage Enterprise console OMM can connect to the PowerEdge servers through the OpenManage Enterprise-3.1. IT administrators can monitor all systemsmanaged using OpenManage Enterprise including Dell EMC chassis, servers, storage, networking, and firewall appliances and other OME-supported third-party hardware. OMM can also receive proactive notifications from OME console. Automation Enablers • Dell System Update • OpenManage Enterprise • OpenManage Ansible Modules • iDRAC RESTful APIs • Standards-based APIs • RACADM CLI • GitHub Scripting Libraries Dell Remote Access Controller Administration CLI The Remote Access Controller Administration (RACADM) command-line utility provides a scriptable interface to perform inventory, configuration, update, and health status check of the PowerEdge servers. RACADM operates in multiple modes: • Local-supports running RACADM commands from the managed server's operating system. • SSH or Telnet-known as firmware RACADM; is accessible by logging in to iDRAC using SSH or TELNET • Remote-supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. RACADM is supported by iDRAC and by the Chassis Management Controller of the M1000e, VRTX, and FX2 modular systems. Local and remote RACADM is supported on Windows Server, the Windows clients, and on Red Hat, SuSe, and Ubuntu Linux. Using a text-based interface for all iDRAC functions, RACADM supports the viewing and changing of all server attributes. This includes BIOS, iDRAC, PERC, NIC, and HBA settings as well as server cooling and power-status and settings. RACADM also supports profile-based server configuration management, detailed hardware and firmware inventory, and access to server logs. For more information, see the RACADM command line Reference Guide for iDRAC and RACADM command line Reference Guide for CMC available at www.dell.com/manuals. OpenManage Ansible Modules Dell EMC OpenManage Ansible Modules enable data center and IT administrators to use Red Hat Ansible to automate and orchestrate the provisioning, configuration, deployment, and update of PowerEdge Servers. It uses the management automation capabilities in-built into Systems Management Product Overview 9
