Operations and Management
Operations and Management Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Asus Ac Adapter
The PowerEdge R230 runs all supported versions of Windows Server along with VMware's vSphere 6.0 and Red Hat Linux. Hypervisor support includes Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and VMware vSphere ESXi. We were also able to load the TP3 version of Windows Server 2016 with no issues.
The internal USB 3.0 port provides a way to boot into VMware ESXi without using any locally-attached disks. This scenario would work great for a VSAN deployment, although the system isn't on the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) as of this writing with adapter such as Asus G71G-A1 AC Adapter, Asus N90S AC Adapter, Asus G72G AC Adapter, Asus G73 AC Adapter, Asus X90 AC Adapter, Asus G60 AC Adapter, Asus VX5 AC Adapter, Asus M70 AC Adapter, Asus Pro70 AC Adapter, Asus Pro80 AC Adapter, Asus X77 AC Adapter, Asus G2S AC Adapter.
Dell's latest iDRAC8 (see Figure 2 below) delivers a number of new features plus recognition of the latest hardware. New capabilities include support for the Data Center Manageability Interface (DCMI) 1.5 standard, new performance monitoring screens and the ability to do a system wipe. The Lifecycle Controller, available by pressing the F10 key during boot up, offers a number of maintenance features that can be accessed remotely using the iDRAC8 remote console.
Full support for the IPMI 2.0 standard lets the PowerEdge connect with a variety of management tools, including Dell's OpenManage suite of products. OpenManage also integrates with Microsoft System Center and VMware vCenter.
For scripted management Dell offers a community-supported Windows PowerShell module that makes it possible to remotely configure and manage servers in an automated fashion. The same technique can be used to script the Lifecycle Controller to automate hardware configuration.
Dell provides another community-supported management option in the form of Recite. Recite is a Python-based tool that interacts with the Dell Lifecycle Controller API using the WS-Man protocol.
This tool lends itself well to a Linux-based environment should you wish to control and manage your servers that way. The Recite Wiki has links to download the GIT repository as well as descriptions of all functions and a tutorial video.
