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 the Dell Systems
Software Support Matrix on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com/manuals.
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.
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
