Users Guide

NOTE: When using the RACADM remote capability, you must have the 'write' permission on the folders where you
are using the RACADM subcommands, involving the file operations. For example, racadm getconfig -f <file
name>.
Uninstalling RACADM From a Linux Management Station
1. Log in as root to the system where you want to uninstall the management station features.
2. Run the following rpm query command to determine which version of the DRAC tools is installed:
rpm -qa | grep mgmtst-racadm
3. Verify the package version to be uninstalled and uninstall the feature by using the rpm -e rpm -qa | grep mgmtst-racadm
command.
Configuring a Web Browser
You can configure and manage CMC, servers, and modules installed in the chassis through a web browser. See the “Supported Browsers"
section in the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix at dell.com/support/manuals.
The CMC and the management station where you use your browser must be on the same network, which is called the management
network. On the basis of your security requirements, the management network can be an isolated and highly secure network.
NOTE: Make sure that the security measures on the management network such as firewalls and proxy servers, do not
prevent your web browser from accessing the CMC.
Some browser features can interfere with connectivity or performance, especially if the management network does not have a route to
the Internet. If your management station is running on a Windows operating system, some Internet Explorer settings can interfere with
connectivity, even though you use a command line interface to access the management network.
NOTE:
To address security issues, Microsoft Internet Explorer strictly monitors the time on its cookie management. To
support this, the time on your computer that runs Internet Explorer must be synchronized with the time on the CMC.
Proxy Server
To browse through a proxy server that does not have access to the management network, you can add the management network
addresses to the exception list of the browser. This instructs the browser to bypass the proxy server while accessing the management
network.
Internet Explorer
To edit the exception list in Internet Explorer:
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Click Tools > Internet Options > Connections.
3. In the Local Area Network (LAN) settings section, click LAN Settings.
4. In the Proxy server section, select the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN
connections) option, and then click Advanced.
5. In the Exceptions section, add the addresses for CMCs and iDRACs on the management network to the semicolon-separated list.
You can use DNS names and wildcards in your entries.
Mozilla FireFox
To edit the exception list in Mozilla Firefox version 19.0:
1. Start Mozilla Firefox.
2. Click Tools > Options (for systems running on Windows), or click Edit > Preferences (for systems running on Linux).
3. Click Advanced, and then click the Network tab.
4. Click Settings.
5. Select Manual Proxy Configuration.
6. In the No Proxy for field, type the addresses for CMCs and iDRACs on the management network to the comma-separated list. You
can use DNS names and wildcards in your entries.
