User interfaces: iDRAC
About this task
NOTE: A valid Service Tag must be programmed to the Witness and the CM must have backed up this tag as part of
the Witness Easy Restore (FRU recovery) process. Without a valid Service Tag, the iDRAC will not report all Witness
information. See Witness FRU deployment for more information.
The iDRAC of a compute sled connected to the same CM as a Witness node has several methods of interacting with or
collecting information from the Witness.
Witness node information, status, and power control interfaces are available through the following compute node interfaces:
● iDRAC GUI
● Redfish
● RACADM
Additional interfaces that provide some Witness data:
● CPLD
● IPMI
