Launching the iBMC Virtual KVM
The iBMC (Integrated Baseboard Management Controller) virtual KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse)
allows you to view and manage the NAS controller console remotely over a network. If Dell Technical
Support Services needs to perform remote troubleshooting, you can make your system accessible to
them using the iBMC virtual KVM.
• To use the iBMC virtual KVM, you must use a computer with Internet Explorer.
• Before connecting to the iBMC virtual KVM, determine the iBMC IP address and password.
– To determine the iBMC IP address of the NAS controller:
* If the NAS controller is in standby mode (a NAS controller is on and in standby mode if the
power LED is flashing green at around two flashes per second), the iBMC IP address is
192.168.254.253.
* If the FluidFS cluster is configured, the iBMC IP address is based on the NAS controller number:
<internal_class_C_address>.<controller_number_plus_one_times_two>
For example, if the internal address range is 10.255.69.0/24, the iBMC IP address of NAS
controller 0 is 10.255.69.2, the iBMC IP address of NAS controller 6 is 10.255.69.14, and so on.
• To determine the iBMC password:
– If the NAS controller is in standby mode (a NAS controller is on and in standby mode if the power
LED is flashing green at around two flashes per second), the iBMC password is Stor@ge!.
– If the FluidFS cluster is configured, the iBMC password is synchronized with the support account
password.

b) Set the IP address of the Windows client to match the iBMC subnet.
c) Open an Internet Explorer web browser. In the address bar of the web browser, type the iBMC IP
address of the NAS controller. The iBMC login page appears.
