The DRAC enables a user to mount remotely shared disk-images as if they were connected to the system. In combination with the remote console, this gives administrators the ability to completely re-install an operating system , a task which traditionally required local console access to the physical machine.
The first digit after the letter indicates the class of the system, with 1–5 defaulting to iDRAC Basic and 6–9 defaulting to iDRAC Express. The second digit indicates the generation, with 0 for 10th generation, 1 for 11th generation and so on. The third digit indicates the number of CPU sockets, 1 for one socket and 2 for two sockets.
HP stopped manufacturing RILOE II in 2006. The final firmware version for RILOE is 2.53(A) dated 9 Mar 2004 and for RILOE II is 1.21 dated 5 July 2006. For G7 and older ProLiant 100 series servers there is a "Lights Out 100" option, which has more limited functionality.
A blade enclosure offers centralized management for the servers and I/O systems of the blade-system. Most servers used in the blade-system offer an iDRAC card and one can connect to each servers iDRAC via the M1000e management system. It is also possible to connect a virtual KVM switch to have access to the main-console of each installed server.
Devices like Dell DRAC also have a slot for a memory card where an administrator may keep server-related information independently from the main hard drive. The remote system can be accessed either through an SSH command-line interface, specialized client software, or through various web-browser-based solutions. [ 4 ]
Using a standardized interface and protocol allows systems-management software based on IPMI to manage multiple, disparate servers. As a message-based, hardware-level interface specification, IPMI operates independently of the operating system (OS) to allow administrators to manage a system remotely in the absence of an operating system or of the system management software.
These are compatible with 12th Generation Dell PowerEdge servers. PERC S110 – software based; PERC H310 – adapter or mini mono or mini blade [7]; PERC H710 – internal – adapter or mini mono or mini blade [7]
