Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis or Chassis Management Enclosure
The Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis or Chassis Management
Enclosure (DRAC/MC or CMC) is a management module located in the
back of the blade server system chassis that provides all of the chassis
management functionality. The DRAC/MC or CMC provides serial and
out-of-band Ethernet management ports to allow for management of the
chassis and some basic blade functions.
The following is a list of features available on the DRAC/MC or CMC. Your
system may have updates that enable additional features. Refer to the latest
Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User’s Guide or Chassis
Management Controller User’s Guide at support.dell.com.
• Remote management and monitoring of a system through the DRAC/MC
web-based graphical user interface (GUI), serial connection, or telnet
connection.
• Access to the chassis System Event Log (SEL) and DRAC/MC or CMC
logs.
• Integrated launch of the DRAC/MC or CMC interface from the Dell
OpenManage™ IT Assistant.
• Ability to alert you to potential problems on the DRAC/MC or CMC by
sending either an e-mail message or an SNMP trap through the
DRAC/MC or CMC NIC to a management station.
• Ability to configure the DRAC/MC or CMC and update DRAC/MC or
CMC firmware using a telnet session, a web-based user interface, or
through a terminal session (for example, a hyperterminal or similar
program).
• Ability to manage controller configurations, I/O modules configurations
and settings, and perform power management functions such as
shutdown, power up, and reset, from a telnet session.
• Web-based interface password-level security management.
• Role-based authority that provides assignable permissions for different
systems management tasks.
