New Features and Usability Enhancements to RACADM Commands in iDRAC7

To back up a system to a NFS share and encrypt the data, use:

$ racadm systemconfig backup -f image.img –l 192.168.2.140:/share

-u admin -p passwd –n encryptpasswd123

To back up a system to a vFlash SD, use:

$ racadm systemconfig backup –vFlash

To restore a system from a vFlash SD and clear the Virtual Disks (VD) configurations, use:

$ racadm systemconfig restore -vFlash –nopreserve

To restore system from an NFS share without clearing the VD configurations, use:

$ racadm systemconfig restore -f image.img -l 192.168.2.140:/share

-u admin -p passwd

To create a backup file in a subfolder within the CIFS shared folder, use:

$ racadm systemconfig backup –f rts/Backup.img –l

//10.94.161.200/CIFSshare –u username –p password

To view the status of an ongoing systemconfig operation with the job ID 100, use:

$ racadm jobqueue view -i 100

license

This command is used to manage hardware licenses. The name of the <license-file> should be less

than 56 characters. During remote file share, SSH/Telnet supports import and export options. You

must have iDRAC administrator privileges to use the import, export, delete, and replace commands.

You do not need administrator privileges to use the view command. This command uses the following

syntax:

$ racadm license view

$ racadm license view [-c <component>]

$ racadm license import [-f <licensefile>] -l <location> -c <component>

$ racadm license export [-f <license file>] -e <ID> -c <component>

$ racadm license delete -e <ID> -l <location> [-f] -c <component> -t

$ racadm license delete -t <transaction ID>

$ racadm license delete -e <entitlement ID>

$ racadm license delete -c <component>

$ racadm license replace -t 1

$ racadm license replace -u <username>-p <password> -f <license file name>

-l <NFS/CIFS share> -t <transaction ID>

Use cases

To view all license information on the system, use:

$ racadm license view
