DRACtyökaluihin

DRACtyökaluihin is a Finnish term that translates to "DRAC tools" in English. DRAC, or Dell Remote Access Controller, is a hardware component embedded in Dell servers that provides out-of-band management capabilities. These tools allow system administrators to remotely monitor, manage, and troubleshoot Dell servers, even if the server's operating system is not responding or is shut down.

The DRAC allows for functions such as power cycling the server, accessing the server's console remotely (similar to connecting a monitor and keyboard), viewing hardware logs, and updating firmware. This is crucial for maintaining server uptime and reducing the need for physical presence at the server location. The DRAC tools are typically accessed through a web-based interface or command-line utilities.

Examples of DRAC tools include the iDRAC (integrated Dell Remote Access Controller), which is the current generation, and older versions like DRAC/MC. The capabilities and user interface can vary depending on the specific DRAC version installed on the Dell server. These tools are essential for data center management and IT infrastructure support, enabling efficient and proactive server administration.
