The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is the component within a PowerFlex cluster that provides server metrics, including telemetry and thermal data, and allows for setting the server configuration profile. iDRAC is an embedded system management hardware and software solution that provides remote management capabilities, system health monitoring, and recovery capabilities. It is a key component for server lifecycle management within the PowerFlex infrastructure1.
iDRAC operates independently from the server’s CPU and operating system, enabling administrators to monitor server health and manage systems even when the server is turned off or unresponsive. It provides a comprehensive set of server management features, including:
Monitoring server health and managing power usage.
Accessing logs for troubleshooting and recovery.
Updating firmware and drivers.
Configuring hardware settings and server profiles.
These capabilities are essential for maintaining the reliability and performance of PowerFlex clusters, making iDRAC a critical component for server metrics and configuration management.
