  2. First boot device need to be set to normal.
  3. Set Server boot once option enabled.
  4. Nic MTU settings,Disable Ipv6.
  5. Enable Virtual Console.
  6. Enable Virtual Console auto attach.

Hi @vivekanand553

All iDRAC attributes can be found in the attribute registry doc linked below. For number 4 the only NIC MTU iDRAC attribute is for setting maximum transmission units. Did you mean disable iDRAC Ipv6 network?

https://dl.dell.com/content/manual66428237-integrated-dell-remote-access-controller-9-attribute-registry.pdf?language=en-us&ps=true

  1. racadm get system.serverpwr.PowerCapSetting racadm set system.serverpwr.PowerCapSetting Disabled

  2. racadm get idrac.serverboot.FirstBootDevice racadm set idrac.serverboot.FirstBootDevice Normal

  3. racadm get idrac.VirtualMedia.BootOnce racadm set idrac.VirtualMedia.BootOnce Enabled

  4. Need clarification

  5. racadm get idrac.virtualconsole.enable racadm set idrac.virtualconsole.enable Enabled

  6. racadm get idrac.virtualconsole.AttachState racadm set idrac.virtualconsole.AttachState Auto-attach

  7. racadm get idrac.virtualconsole.PluginType racadm set idrac.virtualconsole.PluginType 0

  8. racadm get system.lcd.Configuration racadm set system.lcd.Configuration 1

Thanks Tex

Hello Texromer,

Thank you so much for your kind reply.

For #4: yes the requirement was to set the maximum transmission units for the Idrac Nic.

For the ipv6 the request was to disable the ipv6 network.

Apart from this request I have an another request in the Local user settings section to rename the existing root credentials to svsadmin and set the standard password as @.***

Is there any ansible module which can be leveraged for the above request?

Thanks and Regards. Vivekanand

racadm get idrac.ipv6.enable racadm set idrac.ipv6.enable Disabled

racadm get idrac.nic.mtu racadm set idrac.nic.mtu

racadm get idrac.users.3.UserName racadm set idrac.users.3.UserName

racadm get idrac.users.3.Password racadm set idrac.users.3.Password

3 is the user account ID in the example so change this value to the user account you want to change.

For Ansible, this is owned by another team within Dell which i don't work on. Can you post your question on their GitHub site.

Based off the model name you are setting for LCD you are using iDRAC 7/8 firmware. For Redfish support on iDRAC 7/8, the only way to configure these attributes is to leverage Server Configuration Profile (SCP) feature. See example below to configure these settings using Redfish with SCP feature.

  1. First I'll export only System and iDRAC attribute groups since these are the only attributes needed for your workflow.

C:\Python39>ExportSystemConfigurationLocalREDFISH.py -ip 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin -t IDRAC,System

@odata.context: /redfish/v1/$metadata#DellJob.DellJob @odata.id: /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Jobs/JID_443320297943 @odata.type: #DellJob.v1_0_1.DellJob CompletionTime: 2022-02-08T08:54:38 Description: Job Instance EndTime: None Id: JID_443320297943 JobState: Completed JobType: ExportConfiguration Message: Successfully exported Server Configuration Profile MessageArgs: [] MessageId: SYS043 Name: Export Configuration PercentComplete: 100 StartTime: TIME_NOW TargetSettingsURI: None

  1. Next step is to edit the SCP file exported with attribute changes. The SCP file will contain all iDRAC and System attributes but for this workflow, i removed all attributes not needed to better show the edited SCP file which you can use this same file for configuring your servers. If you are not trying to change user account 3, change the ID value before trying to import the SCP file. 
<SystemConfiguration>  
<Component FQDD="System.Embedded.1"> 
<Attribute Name="LCD.1#Configuration">Model Name</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="ServerPwr.1#PowerCapSetting">Disabled</Attribute> 
 </Component> 
 <Component FQDD="iDRAC.Embedded.1"> 
 <Attribute Name="Users.3#UserName">user3</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="Users.3#Password">P@ssw0rd</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="VirtualConsole.1#Enable">Enabled</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="VirtualConsole.1#PluginType">Active X</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="VirtualConsole.1#AttachState">Auto-Attach</Attribute>
 <Attribute Name="VirtualMedia.1#BootOnce">Enabled</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="NIC.1#MTU">1500</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="IPv6.1#Enable">Disabled</Attribute> 
 <Attribute Name="ServerBoot.1#FirstBootDevice">Normal</Attribute>  
</Component> 
</SystemConfiguration>
  1. Now i'll import this SCP file to apply attribute changes.

C:\Python39>ImportSystemConfigurationLocalFilenameREDFISH.py -ip 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin -t IDRAC,System -f 2022-2-8_9725_export.xml

Message: Successfully imported and applied Server Configuration Profile. MessageArgs: [] MessageArgs@odata.count: 0 MessageId: SYS053

Thanks Tex
