Quick Reference Guide

• Deploy a remote image on iDRAC NFS Share:
racadm remoteimage -c –m server-1 -u root -p calvin -
l '//192.168.0.180/dev/floppy.img'
• Deploy a remote image to server 1 from the CMC:
racadm remoteimage -c –m server-1 -u root -p calvin -
l '//192.168.0.180/dev/floppy.img'
• Deploy a remote image on iDRAC CIFS share for all the servers:
racadm remoteimage -c -a -l '//192.168.0.180/dev/
floppy.img' -u root -p calvin
• Deploy a remote image on iDRAC NFS share for all the servers:
racadm remoteimage -c -a -l '192.168.0.180:/dev/
floppy.img' -u root -p calvin
serveraction
Description Enables you to perform power management operations on the host system.
To use this subcommand, you must have Execute Server Control Commands permission.
Synopsis
racadm serveraction -a <action>
racadm serveraction -m <module> <action>
Input
• -m <
module > — Must be one of the following values:
– server-n : where n = 1 to 16
– server-nx: where n = 1 to 8; x = a to d (enter lower case letter only)
• -a — Performs power action on all servers. Not allowed with the powerstatus action.
• <
action >- Specifies the action. The options for the < action > string are:
– hardreset — Performs a reset (reboot) operation on the managed system.
– powercycle — Issues a power-cycle operation on the managed system. This action
is similar to pressing the power button on the system’s front panel to power down
and then power up the system.
NOTE: If the server is in turned off state, the powercycle option will power up
the server.
– powerdown — Powers down the managed system.
– powerup — Powers up the managed system.
– powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server (ON or OFF).
– graceshutdown — Performs a graceful shutdown of the server. If the operating
system on the server cannot be shut down completely, then this operation is not
performed.
– -f — Force the server power management operation.
For iDRAC only: This option is applicable only for the PowerEdge-VRTX platform. It is
used with powerdown, powercycle, and hardreset options.
For CMC only:
– reseat — Performs virtual reseat of the server. This operation simulates reseating
the blade by resetting the iDRAC on that blade. -f is required for this operation.
NOTE: The action powerstatus is not allowed with -a option.
