Using the RACADM Command to Configure the Settings for the Serial and Telnet Console

This subsection provides steps to configure the default configuration settings for serial/telnet/ssh console

redirection.

To configure the settings, type the RACADM config command with the appropriate group, property, and

property value(s) for the setting that you want to configure.

You can type RACADM commands locally or remotely. When using RACADM commands remotely, you

must include the user name, password, and managed system DRAC 5 IP address.

For a complete list of available serial/telnet/ssh and RACADM CLI commands, see "Using the RACADM

Command Line Interface."

Using RACADM Locally

To type RACADM commands locally, type the following command from a command prompt on the

managed system:

racadm config -g <group> -o <property> <value>

To view a list of properties, type the following command from a command prompt on the managed

system:

radadm getconfig -g <group>

Using RACADM Remotely

To use RACADM commands remotely, type the following command from a command prompt on a

management station:

racadm -u <username> -p <password> -r <DRAC 5 IP address> config -g

Ensure that your web server is configured with a DRAC 5 card before you use RACADM remotely.

Otherwise, RACADM times out and the following message appears:

Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address.
