Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to locally configure or remotely

configure your Remote Access Controller (RAC). The utility runs on the management station and the managed system. It

is available on the

Dell OpenManage Systems Management and Documentation

DVD or at support.dell.com.

The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:

• Local — Supports executing RACADM commands from the managed server’s operating system. You must install

the OpenManage software on the managed server to run local RACADM commands. Only one instance of Local

RACADM can be executed on a system at a time. If the user tries to open another instance, an error message is

displayed and the second instance of Local RACADM closes immediately. To download the local RACADM tool

from support.dell.com, select Drivers and Downloads, select the server, and then select Systems Management

→ Dell Toolkit .
