Interface Description
Web-based interface Provides remote access to the DRAC 5 using a graphical
user interface. The Web-based interface is built into
the DRAC 5 firmware and is accessed through the NIC
interface from a supported Web browser on the
management station.
For a list of supported Web browsers, see "Supported
Web Browsers".
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".
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
