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 <prexlen> 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 > — Species the rst 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, 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 — server/switch. Applies options to all modules present in the chassis of the given module
type. Specify the value as server or switch. Default value is server. Switches must support
Ethernet Management.
• -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. Required Username when you
are setting IOA values.
• -m < module > — Species the server you want to congure.
Legal value must be one of the following values:
• server-n where n=1–4
• switch-n where n=1–2.
• -p < password > — Species the password for the root user on the server or switch.
Legal values: For switches, valid passwords are 6 - 32 ASCII characters in length, ranging in value
32–125 (decimal). For servers, valid passwords are 1 – 20 ASCII characters in length, ranging in
value 32 – 126 (decimal).
• -s <ipaddress subnet gateway> — Sets the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the
specied 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 specied server.
The -s and -d options cannot be used together in the same command.
• -6 — Enables IPv6 auto conguration (when used with -d.) Sets static IPv6 addresses (when
used with -s).
• -v —SNMPv2 community string. Valid community strings are 1–20 characters in length, with
valid ASCII characters in the range [33–125] (decimal). Protocol version set to SNMPv2.
Permission on community string is read-only.
NOTE
: This input is available in IOA only.
• -q— Displays or modies the quick deploy parameters.
• -n— Species the number of reserved IP addresses for quick deploy. The valid values are 2 and
4.
• -e — Uses the CMC DNS settings for quick deploy. The legal values are:
• 1 — Enable
• 0 — Disable
• --qd — Updates the quick deploy parameters to the servers. This option works only with the -q
option.
