gateway, DHCP, speed, and duplex properties.
Synopsis
• racadm deploy -m <module> -u root -p <password> -s
<ipaddress> <subnet> <gateway> -b <device> -o <no|yes>
• racadm deploy -m <module> -u root -p <password> -s -6
<ipv6Address> <prefixlen> <gateway> -b <device> -o
<
no|yes>
where <
prefixlen
> is a number between 0 and 128.
• racadm deploy -m <module> -u root -p <password> -d
[-6]
• racadm deploy -a -u root -p <password>
Input
• -b <
device
> — Specifies the first boot device; must be used with -o.
• Use with -m <
module
> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all servers
Legal values: device=None, PXE, HDD, CD-DVD, vFDD, vCD-DVD, iSCSI, SD, FDD,
RFS
• -o <
no|yes
> — Indicates if the server should boot from the device once; must be
used with -o.
Use with -m <
module
> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all
servers
• -a — Creates and enables an iDRAC root user if it does not already exist, and is
executed on all the existing servers in the chassis
• -u root — Indicates that the <
password
> is supplied for the root user on the
server. root is a constant parameter, the only value that is valid with the ‑u option.
• -m <
module
> — Specifies the server you want to configure.
Legal values: server-n where
n
=1–4
• -p <
password
> — Specifies the password for the root user on the server.
• -s <
ipaddress subnet gateway
> — Sets the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway for the specified server, separated by single spaces.
– ipaddress — A string representing a valid IP address. For example,
192.168.0.20.
– subnet — A string representing a valid subnet mask. For example,
255.255.255.0.
– gateway — A string representing a valid gateway address. For example,
192.168.0.1.
• -d — Enables DHCP for the specified server.
The -s and -d options cannot be used together in the same command.
• -6 — Enables IPv6 auto configuration (when used with -d.) Sets static IPv6
addresses (when used with -s).
Output None
Example
• racadm deploy -m server-8 -s 192.168.0.20
255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
The server was deployed successfully.
The deploy command generates an error when used on the extension slot of a
multi-slot server.
• racadm deploy -m server-9 192.168.0.11 255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1
ERROR: Server in slot 9 is an extension of the server in slot 1.
