Using The Racadm Command Line Interface - Dell iDRAC6 User Manual

Using the RACADM Command Line
Interface
The RACADM command line interface (CLI) provides access to iDRAC6
management features on the managed server. RACADM provides access to
most of the features on iDRAC6 Web interface. RACADM can be used in
scripts to ease configuration of multiple servers, instead of using the Web
interface, which, is more useful for interactive management.
The following interfaces are available for RACADM:
• Local RACADM
• Remote RACADM
• Telnet/SSH RACADM
Local RACADM commands do not use network connections to access
iDRAC6 from the managed server. This means that you can use local
RACADM commands to configure the initial iDRAC6 networking. Remote
RACADM is a client side utility, which can be executed from a management
station through the out of band network interface. SSH/Telnet RACADM is
used to refer to the RACADM command usage from a SSH or Telnet prompt.
This section provides the following information:
• RACADM commands and supported RACADM interfaces
• Using local RACADM from a command prompt
• Remote RACADM
• SSH/Telnet RACADM
• Configuring iDRAC6 using the racadm command
• Using the RACADM configuration file to configure multiple iDRAC6s
