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."
