Idrac7 Enterprise Install SD Cards

You will then need to go purchase a license, because you will only get 30 days, and it will not let you re upload the licenses again for another 30, unless you do some effort, which I wont get into here.

I also had a hard time finding a place to purchase licenses, but as of this post, I was able to get them off ebay for about 47 each, which seems like a steal, considering what features you get.

They are an integral part to my DR and ransomware recovery process.

I have always gone with Enterprise but i do not think i have ever used all the features.

What i typically use is connecting to a hung system, and telling it to reboot.

So what i am asking from the real iDRAC experienced folks out there that have used both have you ever had a case where you are using iDRAC express and you really miss a feature on iDRAC Enterprise Link to current iDRAC offerings from Dell.

Thanks i forgot about them, also you have a typo for xbyte.com you have xybte.com.

So if you have a non response server, and you need to figure out why but you are not able to physically go to that server, you need enterprise.

You may never have had to use it, but use it once and it pays for itself.

I totally agree with you on not having to drive to the site pays out with one event.

But if the client wants to throw the dice and hope i never have to make Friday evening or weekend trip then its there call.

Cant remote control, cant mount media, cant install SD cards on it to boot from.

I can think of numerous time saved where Ive been able to remote and in some cases, get servers up and running when they were hours away by remotely mounting an ISO to fix things.

For some businesses, they will insist that the server is critical and cant be down.

In a larger environment these ports are often on a management subnet or vlan which provides a higher level of security.

Last year as an experiment I decided to use an enterprise iDRAC to entirely repurpose a retired tower server in an office 2400miles away.

So, I was able to get someone local to load in a stack of old 300GB sas 10k platters and 4TB sas 7.2k platters pulled from other machines.

I mounted a Win10 ISO from a file share on a NAS, installed the OS and fully configured the machine remotely.

Built myself a nice little Veeam toaster for doing recoveries and temporary storage for maintenance on other equipment.

Because of the enterprise iDRAC I can do stuff with that machine that I normally would have to get on a plane and fly out to that office.

This week alone I backed up my router at that location saved the backups to the machine, dropped all the NIC connections and plugged a new replacement router into the NIC isolated from the rest of the office and completely configured the router to prepare it to replace the old one.

Only the enterprise iDRAC gives you that kind of flexibility.

I use them all the time to build Hypervisors entirely remotely.
