74 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface
Using RACADM to Configure the CMC
NOTE: In order to configure CMC the first time. You must be logged in as user root
to execute RACADM commands on a remote system. Another user can be created
that will give him or her the permission to configure the CMC.
The CMC Web interface is the quickest way to configure the CMC (see
"Using the CMC Web Interface"
). However, if you prefer CLI or script
configuration or need to configure multiple CMCs, use RACADM, which is
installed with the CMC agents on the management station.
Configuring CMC IPv4 Network Properties
Setting Up Initial Access to the CMC
Before you can begin configuring the CMC, you must first configure the
CMC network settings to allow the CMC to be managed remotely.
This initial configuration assigns the TCP/IP networking parameters that
enable access to the CMC.
This section explains how to perform the initial CMC network configuration
using RACADM commands. All of the configuration described in this section
can be performed using the front panel LCD. See "Configuring Networking
Using the LCD Configuration Wizard."
CAUTION: Changing settings on the CMC Network Settings screen may
disconnect your current network connection.
For more information about network subcommands, see the
RACADM Subcommands and Property Database Group and
Object Definitions chapters of the Dell Chassis Management Controller
Administrator Reference Guide.
NOTE: You must have Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege to set up CMC
network settings.
The CMC supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing modes. The configuration
settings for IPv4 and IPv6 are independent of one another.
