Set Up a Used Dell Server
iDRAC Config
- you need VGA and keyboard (my HDMI/VGA adapter needs USB Power!!)
- boot and f2 to set up idrac to use network in some way
- default user and pass is back of service tag or is root / calvin or set in f2 setup
If Problem with iDRAC Web Access
Go in SOL with ssh
netsrv.iad.rg.net:/home/randy> ssh root@ipmi.r1.iad.rg.net
root@ipmi.r1.iad.rg.net's password:
/admin1-> racadm set idrac.webserver.HostHeaderCheck 0
Enable HTML KVM Console
In iDRAC Server / VirtualConsole, set Plug-in Type to HTML5
I also set Default Action upon session sharing rewuest to Full Access
Be Sure Virtual Console Setup has Kbd Enabled!
Make the Drives JBOD
In iDRAC / Stortage / Physical Disks / Setup set drives to Convert to Non-RAID.
Be Sure CPU Virtualisation is ON!!!
You can see it in the iDRAC under Hardware/CPU. But to change it you have to be in BIOS Setup.
Set UEFI Boot
This has to be done in the f2 BIOS. I could not see how to do this in the iDRAC.
