Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that enables you to configure your OME - Modular. 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 dell.com/support.

Use racadm commands to set basic attributes such as, IP address attributes, to access the system. RACADM does not support

multiple dependent attributes in a single execution. Use RESTful API or web interface to configure multiple or complex

attributes, such as DNS registration attributes.

The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:

● SSH—Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to OME-Modular using SSH.

When there is a change in the chassis management network, all active sessions that are listed on the User Sessions page,

are not terminated automatically.

● Remote—Supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. Install the

DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote system to run remote RACADM commands. To run remote

RACADM commands, you must formulate the command such as an SSH RACADM command except that you must also use

the –r -i options or the –r –u –p options. For more information about these options, see the "RACADM Subcommand

Details."

NOTE:

A log for remote racadm session (login or logout) is displayed in the Audit Logs page, irrespective of the remote

racadm status. However, the feature does not work if the remote racadm option is disabled.

NOTE: For MX systems, if the TLS 1.2 is not enabled in the browser, remote racadm commands fail.

NOTE: The CLI interface does not support the special characters—'&', '|','`','>','<', '$(', '$\{', 'sudo', 'lsudo', 'lpath', and

'history'.
