Note 1: IPMI and iDrac access levels vary by platform according to platform capabilities and security hardening requirements. Dell iDrac access is available on X29 platforms with a serial number starting U22. iDrac access gives basic platform monitoring and operational support capabilities over an IPMI compatible interface.

Note 2: IPMI support formally arrived in the 5.4 release. The IPMI and iDrac passwords varied by platform and version prior to the 5.4 release. If you require IPMI access to a system running a version prior to this release please contact Vectra Support for assistance.

Note 3: vSensor images will have Sensor password from the Brain built-in, if this option is configured.
