You can install and execute the Dell RACADM tool from any management system with
access to the iDRAC network. The remote RACADM command set is useful in this
situation to mount and execute the Hardware ISO to a large number of ScaleIO Ready

5. Open a terminal/command prompt with superuser/administrator accessibility.
This prompt should allow execution of the RACADM utility.
6. Mount the Hardware ISO to the iDRAC from the remote share:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> remoteimage -c -u
<myuser> -p <mypass> -l //<myip>/SIORN/ScaleIO-Ready-Node-
Hardware-Update-for-Dell_2.0.1.iso
Where:
<dracIP> is the iDRAC IP address
