Using the Local RACADM Command Line Interface 219
Using the Local RACADM Command
Line Interface
The local RACADM command line interface (CLI) provides access to
iDRAC6 management features from the managed server. RACADM provides
access to the same features as the iDRAC6 Web interface. However,
RACADM can be used in scripts to ease configuration of multiple servers and
iDRACs, where the Web interface is more useful for interactive management.
Local RACADM commands do not use network connections to access
iDRAC6 from the managed server. This means that you can use local
RACADM commands to configure the initial iDRAC6 networking.
For more information about configuring multiple iDRACs, see "Configuring
Multiple iDRACs."
This section provides the following information:
• Using RACADM from a command prompt
• Configuring iDRAC6 using the
racadm command
• Using the RACADM configuration file to configure multiple iDRACs
Using the RACADM Command
You run RACADM commands locally (on the managed server) from a
command prompt or shell prompt.
Log in to the managed server, start a command shell, and enter local
RACADM commands in the following format:
racadm <
subcommand > -g < group > -o < object > < value >
Without options, the RACADM command displays general use information.
To display the RACADM subcommand list, enter:
racadm help
