Accessing iDRAC6/iDRAC7 Using RACADM

You can use SSH-based or Telnet-based interfaces to access iDRAC6/iDRAC7 using the RACADM utility. RACADM

(remote access controller administration) is a Dell command-line utility that allows you to set up and configure the

integrated Dell Remote Access Control (iDRAC) interface card to provide an out-of-band management capability.
The iDRAC card contains a controller with its own processor, memory, network connection, and access to the system
bus. This gives system or network administrators the capability to configure a system as if they were sitting at the local
console using the power management, virtual medial access and remote console capabilities, by using a supported web
browser or command line interface.
The login values you can use for making iDRAC connections are:

Default username: root

Default password: calvin

Default static IP address: 192.168.0.120
