Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to locally congure or remotely congure your

iDRAC. 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:

• Local — Supports running RACADM commands from the managed server’s operating system. To run local RACADM commands,

install the OpenManage software on the managed server. Only one instance of Local RACADM can be executed on a system at a

time. If you try to open another instance, an error message is displayed and the second instance of Local RACADM closes

immediately. To download the local RACADM tool from support.dell.com, select Drivers and Downloads, select a server, and

then select Systems Management → Dell Toolkit.

NOTE: Local racadm and local racadm proxy runs with root user privilege.

• SSH or Telnet — Also known as Firmware RACADM. Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to iDRAC using SSH or

Telnet. Similar to Remote RACADM, at the RACADM prompt, directly run the commands without the RACADM prex.

• Remote — Supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. To run

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

Remote RACADM commands:

– Formulate the command as a SSH or Telnet RACADM command.

For more information about the options, see RACADM Subcommand Details. To download the local RACADM tool from

dell.com/support, click Servers, Storage & Networking in the General Support section. Click PowerEdge, click the required

PowerEdge system, and then click Drivers & downloads.
