DRAC setup[edit]

Here's the settings we use when we initially setup a new DRAC.

From within the DRAC web gui:

Remote Access -> config -> network: enter DNS, DNS DRAC name=jailX, DNS domain=johncompanies.com
Remote Access -> config -> services: disable SNMP
System -> Alert mgmt -> platform events: enable
System -> Alert mgmt -> email alert settings: smtp=69.55.230.2, add email alert 1 to support@jc, desc: jailX drac hardware alert

RMM[edit]

the user/ip/pass can be set via the BIOS. If you can't here's how you'd do that manually:

boot to a usb drive that contains syscfg utility

fs0:
cd intel\mgmt\syscfg
syscfg -le 3 static IP NM
syscfg -lc 3 12 GW
syscfg /u 2 "root" "pass"
syscfg /ue 2 enable 3

syscfg /d user 2 3
syscfg /d lan 3
