Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to remotely configure your Chassis Management

Controller (CMC). 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:

• SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or telnet. You do not have to

specify the CMC IP, user name or password to run Firmware RACADM commands.

• Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. You must install

the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run Remote RACADM commands. To execute

Remote RACADM commands, you must formulate the command such as a an SSH/Telnet 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."

RACADM Syntax Usage

The following section describes the syntax usage for SSH/Telnet and Remote RACADM.

NOTE:

The RACADM command-line interface in CMC does not ignore single or double quotation. When you enter an

open quotation mark, ensure that you enter the close quotation mark too.

SSH or Telnet RACADM

racadm getconfig -g <groupname> [-o <objectname>]

[-i <indexnumber>]

racadm <subcommand>

Example

racadm getconfig -g idracinfo

racadm getsysinfo
