Go to Chassis → Servers → Setup → Deploy. In the table that is displayed, view the IP address for the server.
• Using the Virtual Console: Reboot the server to view the iDRAC IP address during POST. Select the "Dell CMC" console in the
OSCAR to log in to CMC through a local serial connection. CMC RACADM commands can be sent from this connection.
