Supported RACADM Interfaces
The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that enables you to configure your OME - Modular. The utility runs on
the management station and the managed system. It is available on the
Dell OpenManage Systems Management and Documentation
DVD or at
dell.com/support
.
Use racadm commands to set basic attributes such as, IP address attributes, to access the system. RACADM does not support multiple
dependent attributes in a single execution. Use RESTful API or web interface to configure multiple or complex attributes, such as DNS
registration attributes.
The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:
SSH—Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to OME-Modular using SSH.
When there is a change in the chassis management network, all active sessions that are listed on the
User Sessions
page, are not
terminated automatically.
Remote—Supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. Install the DRAC
Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote system to run remote RACADM commands. To run remote RACADM
commands, you must formulate the command such as an SSH RACADM command except that you must also use the
–r -i
options or
the
–r –u –p
options. For more information about these options, see the "RACADM Subcommand Details."
NOTE:
A log for remote racadm session (login or logout) is displayed in the Audit Logs page, irrespective of the remote
racadm status. However, the feature does not work if the remote racadm option is disabled.
NOTE:
For MX systems, if the TLS 1.2 is not enabled in the browser, remote racadm commands fail.
NOTE:
The CLI interface does not support the special characters—'&', '|','`','>','<', '$(', '$\{', 'sudo', 'lsudo', 'lpath',
and 'history'.
