Introduction

This document provides information about the RACADM subcommands, supported RACADM interfaces,

and property database groups and object definitions of CMC for PowerEdge VRTX.

Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to remotely configure

your Chassis Management Controller (CMC). 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:

• SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or

telnet. You do not have to specify the CMC IP, user name or password to run Firmware RACADM

commands.

• Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a

laptop or desktop. You must install the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the

remote computer to run Remote RACADM commands. To execute Remote RACADM commands, you

must formulate the command such as a an SSH/Telnet RACADM command except that you must also

use the –r –i options or the –r –u –p options. For more information about these options, see the

"RACADM Subcommand Details."
