Accessing iDRAC using SMCLP

SMCLP is the default command line prompt when you log in to iDRAC using Telnet or SSH. For more information, see
SMCLP.

Logging in to iDRAC using public key authentication

You can log into the iDRAC over SSH without entering a password. You can also send a single RACADM command as a command
line argument to the SSH application. The command line options behave similar to remote RACADM since the session ends after the
command is completed.
For example:
Logging in:
ssh username@<domain>
or
ssh username@<IP_address>
where IP_address is the IP address of the iDRAC.
Sending RACADM commands:
ssh username@<domain> racadm getversion
ssh username@<domain> racadm getsel
