User's Manual

Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 75

NOTE: The -i option instructs RACADM to interactively prompt for user name and

password. Without the -i option, you must provide the user name and password in

the command using the -u and -p options.

For example:

racadm -r 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin getsysinfo

racadm -i -r 192.168.0.120 getsysinfo

If the HTTPS port number of the CMC has been changed to a custom port

other than the default port (443), the following syntax must be used:

racadm -r

<CMC IP address>:<port> -u <username> -p

racadm -i -r

Enabling and Disabling the RACADM Remote Capability

NOTE: Dell recommends that you run these commands at the chassis.

The RACADM remote capability on the CMC is enabled by default. In the

following commands, -g specifies the configuration group the object belongs

to, and -o specifies the configuration object to configure.

To disable the RACADM remote capability, type:

racadm config -g cfgRacTuning -o

cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable 0

To re-enable RACADM remote capability, type:

racadm config -g cfgRacTuning -o

cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable 1

Using RACADM Remotely

NOTE: Configure the IP address on your CMC before using the RACADM remote

capability. For more information about setting up your CMC, see "Installing and

Setting Up the CMC" on page 35.

The RACADM console’s remote option (-r) allows you to connect to the

managed system and execute RACADM subcommands from a remote

console or management station. To use the remote capability, you need a

valid user name (-u option) and password (-p option), and the CMC IP

address.
