| + | The DELL remote administration utilities are installed on stal (several generations). | ||
| + | To use with the R630s, you need to use version | ||
| + | |||
| + | export IPMIPASS=<the usual IPMI password> | ||

| + | There are many things that can be set with this tool. The <code>get</code> command | ||
| + | lists the possible items that can be set. | ||

| + | * Bios settings | ||
| + | * Device boot order | ||
| + | * Hyperthreading (called virtual CPUs) | ||
| + | * iDRAC root password | ||
| + | * iDRAC timezone | ||

| + | change, a commit job needs to be queued. This can be done with a soft shutdown/reboot | ||
| + | or a forced power cycle. | ||
| + | |||
