RACADM
After performing an iDRAC reset (using the racadm racreset command), if any command is issued, the
following message is displayed. What does this indicate?
ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address
The message indicates that you must wait until the iDRAC completes the reset before issuing another
command.
When using RACADM commands and subcommands, some errors are not clear.
You may see one or more of the following errors when using the RACADM commands and
subcommands:
• Local RACADM error messages — Problems such as syntax, typographical errors, and incorrect
names.
• Remote RACADM error messages — Problems such as incorrect IP Address, incorrect user name, or
incorrect password.
During a ping test to iDRAC, if the network mode is switched between Dedicated and Shared modes,
there is no ping response.
Clear the ARP table on your system.
Remote RACADM fails to connect to iDRAC from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1.
Make sure that the official openssl and libopenssl versions are installed. Run the following command to
install the RPM packages:
rpm -ivh --force < filename >
where, filename is the openssl or libopenssl rpm package file.
For example:
rpm -ivh --force openssl-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh --force libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
Why are the remote RACADM and Web-based services unavailable after a property change?
It may take a while for the remote RACADM services and the Web-based interface to become available
after the iDRAC Web server resets.
The iDRAC Web server is reset when:
• The network configuration or network security properties are changed using the iDRAC Web user
interface.
• The cfgRacTuneHttpsPort property is changed (including when a config -f (config
file)changes it).
• The racresetcfg command is used.
• iDRAC is reset.
• A new SSL server certificate is uploaded.
Why is an error message displayed if you try to delete a partition after creating it using local RACADM?
