Quick Reference Guide

26 Introduction
The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:
• Local — Supports executing RACADM commands from the managed
server’s operating system. You must install the OpenManage software on
the managed server to run local racadm commands. Only one instance of
local RACADM can be executed on a system at a time. If the user tries to
open another instance, an error message is displayed and the second
instance of local RACADM closes immediately.
• SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware racadm. Supports executing
RACADM commands from a SSH or Telnet session to iDRAC.
• Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote
management station such as a laptop or desktop computer. You must
install the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run remote
RACADM commands. To execute remote RACADM commands, you
must formulate the command like a local or SSH/Telnet RACADM
command except that you must also use the –r –i options or the –r –u –p
options. For more information on these options, see the "RACADM
Subcommand Details" on page 37.
