Enabling the iDRAC provisioning service

For an iDRAC device to use the iDRAC provisioning service, you must enable the service on the BMC Server Automation Application Server.

Before you begin

For the iDRAC provisioning service to function properly, ensure that your web server (typically Apache or IIS) is fully configured, as discussed in Supporting software for provisioning. The web server configuration must be performed before the installation of the BMC Server Automation Application Server.

To enable the iDRAC provisioning service

1. On the Application Server, start the Application Server Administration console (the blasadmin utility).
   • Microsoft Windows: From the Start menu, select Programs > BMC Software > BladeLogic Server Automation Suite > Utilities > Application Server Administration.
   • Linux and UNIX: From the BMC Server Automation installation directory, enter: .br/blasadmin
2. Enable the iDRAC provisioning service. Enter:
   set appserver EnableIDRACService true
3. Set the https port on which the iDRAC auto-discovery service listens. (The default is 4433.) Enter:
   set appserver HttpsIDRACPortNumber 4433
