Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 79
Accessing RACADM Remotely
To access RACADM remotely, type the following commands:
racadm -r <CMC IP address> -u <username> -p <password>
<subcommand> <subcommand options>
racadm -i -r <CMC IP address> <subcommand> <subcommand
options>
NOTE: The -i option instructs RACADM to interactively prompt for user name and
password. Without the -i option, you must provide the user name and password in
the command using the -u and -p options.
For example:
racadm -r 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin getsysinfo
racadm -i -r 192.168.0.120 getsysinfo
If the HTTPS port number of CMC has been changed to a custom port other
than the default port (443), the following syntax must be used:
racadm -r <CMC IP address>:<port> -u <username> -p
<password> <subcommand> <subcommand options>
racadm -i -r <CMC IP address>:<port> <subcommand>
<subcommand options>
Table 4-2. Remote RACADM Subcommand Options
Option Description
-r <racIpAddr>
-r <racIpAddr>:<port>
Specifies the controller’s remote IPaddress.
Use <port number> if the CMC port
number is not the default port (443).
-i Instructs RACADM to interactively query the
user for user name and password.
-u <usrName> Specifies the user name that is used to
authenticate the command transaction. If the
-u option is used, the -p option must be
used, and the -i option (interactive) is not
allowed.
-p <password> Specifies the password used to authenticate
the command transaction. If the -p option is
used, the -i option is not allowed.
