RACADM
After performing a CMC reset (using the RACADM racreset subcommand), when a command is entered, the following
message is displayed:
racadm <subcommand> Transport: ERROR: (RC=-1)
This message indicates that another command must be issued only after CMC completes the reset.
Using the RACADM subcommands sometimes displays one or more of the following errors:
• Local error messages — Problems such as syntax, typographical errors, and incorrect names. Example:ERROR: <message>
Use the RACADM help subcommand to display correct syntax and usage information.
CMC-related error messages — Problems where the CMC is unable to perform an action. Also might say "racadm command
failed."
Type racadm gettracelog for debugging information.
While using remote RACADM, the prompt changes to a ">" and the "$" prompt is not displayed again.
If a non-matched double quotation mark (") or a non-matched single quotation (’) is used in the command, the CLI changes to the
">" prompt and queues all commands.
To return to the $ prompt, type <Ctrl>–d.
An error message "Not Found" is displayed, while using the $ logout and $ quit commands.
The logout and quit commands are not supported in the CMC RACADM interface.
Managing and Recovering a Remote System
While accessing the CMC Web interface, a security warning stating that the host name of the SSL certificate does not match
the host name of CMC is displayed.
CMC includes a default CMC server certificate to ensure network security for the Web interface and remote RACADM features.
When this certificate is used, the Web browser displays a security warning because the default certificate is issued to CMC default
certificate which does not match the host name of CMC (for example, the IP address).
To address this security concern, upload a CMC server certificate issued to the IP address of CMC. When generating the certificate
signing request (CSR) to be used for issuing the certificate, ensure that the common name (CN) of the CSR matches the IP
address of CMC (for example, 192.168.0.120) or the registered DNS CMC name.
