NOTE:
modules are installed. The Ethernet switch may take longer to boot than the server modules, which
may cause functions like PXE to fail due to the Ethernet switch not being fully booted and ready to
send packets.
4 To set the DRAC/MC time, type:
racadm
where:
- yyyy is a 4-digit year
- mm is the month
- dd is the day
- hh is the hour (24-hour clock)
- mm is the minute
- ss is the second
- mmmmmm is the number of microseconds
-s is a "+" or "-", indicating the sign of the offset
-off is the offset in minutes
For example, Monday, May 25, 2004, at 1:30:15 PM would be represented as:
racadm setractime -d 20040525133015.000000-300
5 If required, assign a static IP address using the following DRAC/MC CLI command:
racadm setniccfg -s [<ipAddress> <netmask> <gateway>]
Obtain your network's specific address information from your network administrator. In the
following example, 192.168.0.120 is the DRAC/MC default static IP address, 255.255.255.0 is
the subnet mask address, and 192.168.1.1 is the gateway address.
racadm setniccfg -s 192.168.0.120 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
6 Press <Enter>.
7 Type racadm getniccfg and press <Enter>.
The current and static IP addresses are displayed.
NOTE:
8 To enable Telnet access to the DRAC/MC, use the following DRAC/MC CLI command:
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1
9 If the serial console is disabled, you can enable the console remotely through the Telnet
interface. To enable the serial console at the Telnet console DRAC/MC: prompt, type the
following serial CLI commands:
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialConsoleEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1
