Table 9-4. Using the serial and racadm Commands: Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer

After performing a DRAC 5 reset (using the racadm

racreset command), I issue a command and the

following message is displayed:

racadm

Transport:

ERROR: (RC=-1)

What does this message mean?

You must wait until the DRAC 5 completes the

reset before issuing another command.

When I use the racadm commands and

subcommands, I get errors that I don’t understand.

You may encounter one or more of the following

errors when using the racadm commands and

subcommands:

• Local error messages — Problems such as syntax,

typographical errors, and incorrect names.

Example:

ERROR: <message>

When I ping the DRAC IP address from my system

and then switch my DRAC 5 card between

Dedicated and Shared modes during the ping

response, I do not receive a response.
