Reference Guide

Use with -m <module> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all servers.
• -a — server/switch. Applies options to all modules present in the chassis of the given
module type. Specify the value as server or switch. Default value is
server. Switches
must support Ethernet Management.
• -u <username> — Indicates that the <password> is supplied for the root user on
the server or switch. Root is a constant parameter, the only value that is valid with
the
—u option.
• —m <module> — Specifies the server or switch you want to configure.
Legal values:
– server-<n>, where n=1–16
– server-<nx>, where n=1– 8; x = a,b,c,d (lower case)
– switch-<n>, where n=1– 6
• -p <password> — Specifies the password for the root user on the server or switch.
For switches, valid passwords are 6–32 ASCII characters in length, ranging in value
32–125 (decimal). For servers, valid passwords are 1–20 ASCII characters in length,
ranging in value 32–126 (decimal).
• -s <ipaddress> <subnet> <gateway> — Sets the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway for the specified server.
– ipaddress — A string representing a valid IP address. For example, 192.168.0.20.
– subnet — A string representing a valid subnet mask. For example, 255.255.255.0.
– gateway — A string representing a valid gateway address. For example,
192.168.0.1.
• -d — Enables DHCP for the specified server.
The -s and -d options cannot be used together in the same command.
• -6 — Enables IPv6 auto configuration (when used with -d). Sets static IPv6
addresses (when used with
-s).
• -v SNMPv2 <snmpCommunityString> ro — Specifies the SNMP community string
for switches. Valid community strings are 1–20 characters in length, with valid ASCII
characters in the range [32–125] (decimal). Protocol version set to SNMPv2.
Permission on community string is read-only.
• -q — Displays or modifies the quick deploy parameters.
• -n <numofblades> — Specifies the number of reserved IP addresses for quick
deploy. The allowed values are: 8, 16, and 32.
NOTE: The -q option must be specified with the -n option.
Output None
Example
• Set root password, configure static IPV4 address, set first boot device to HDD, and
enable boot once for server-1.
racadm deploy -m server-1 -u root -p <password> -s 192.168.0.20
255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 -b HDD -o yes
• Set root password, configure static IPV6 address, set first boot device to HDD, and
enable boot once for server-1.
racadm deploy -m server-1 -u root -p <password> -s -6 1
2001:DB8::2 64 2001:DB8::1 -b HDD -o yes
• Set root password and enable DHCP for server-3.
racadm deploy -m server-3 -u root -p <passpwrd> -d
• Set user name and password for switch-2.
racadm deploy -m switch-2 -u <username> -p <password>
• Set SNMP community string for switch-2.
racadm deploy -m switch-2 -v SNMPv2 DemoCommunityString ro
