Installing and Setting Up the DRAC 5 49
NOTE: The DRAC 5 default user name is root and the default password is
calvin.
RACADM Provides remote access to the DRAC 5 using a
command line interface. RACADM uses the managed
system’s IP address to execute RACADM commands
(racadm remote capability option [-r]).
NOTE: The racadm remote capability is supported only on
management stations. For more information, see
"Supported Web Browsers" on page 29.
NOTE: When using the racadm remote capability, you
must have write permission on the folders where you are
using the racadm subcommands involving file operations,
for example:
racadm getconfig -f <file name>
or:
racadm sslcertupload -t 1 -f
c:\cert\cert.txt subcommands
Telnet Console Provides access through the DRAC 5 to the server RAC
port and hardware management interfaces through the
DRAC 5 NIC and provides support for serial and
RACADM commands including powerdown, powerup,
powercycle, and hardreset commands.
NOTE: Telnet is an unsecure protocol that transmits all
data—including passwords—in plain text. When
transmitting sensitive information, use the SSH interface.
SSH Interface Provides the same capabilities as the telnet console
using an encrypted transport layer for higher security.
IPMI Interface Provides access through the DRAC 5 to the remote
system’s basic management features. The interface
includes IPMI over LAN, IPMI over Serial, and Serial
over LAN. See the Dell OpenManage Baseboard
Management Controller User’s Guide for more
information.
