This procedure describes how to access the node console through the iDRAC.

This procedure assumes an integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) has been set up for use with the node.
An iDRAC enables remote management of a node. This procedure describes how to access the node console through the iDRAC.
  1. Bring up a web browser.
  2. Go to: https://cray-drac, where cray-drac is the name assigned to the iDRAC during setup. The iDRAC login screen appears.
  3. Enter the account user name and password set up in the iDRAC setup procedure.

    The System Summary window appears.

  4. Select Submit.
  5. To access the SMW console, select the Console Media tab.

    The Virtual Console and Virtual Media window appears.

  6. Select Launch Virtual Console.
    Tip: By default, the console window has two cursors: one for the console and one for the administrator's window environment. To switch to single-cursor mode, select Tools, then Single Cursor. This single cursor will not move outside the console window. To exit single-cursor mode, press the F9 key.
    Tip: To log out of the virtual console, kill the window or select File, then Exit. The web browser is still logged into the iDRAC.
