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 <command name>
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.
