340 Deploying Your Operating System Using iVMCLI
To add or edit users in the iVMCLI group, the administrator uses the visudo
command. Users without administrator privileges can add the sudo command
as a prefix to the iVMCLI command line (or to the iVMCLI script) to obtain
access to iDRAC6 in the remote system and run the utility.
Installing the iVMCLI Utility
The iVMCLI utility is located on the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation DVD, which is included with your Dell OpenManage system
management software kit. To install the utility, insert the DVD into your
system, and follow the on-screen instructions.
The Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD contains the
latest systems management software products, including diagnostics, storage
management, remote access service, and the RACADM utility. This DVD
also contains readme files, which provide the latest systems management
software product information.
The Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD also includes
ivmdeploy—a sample script that illustrates how to use the iVMCLI and
RACADM utilities to deploy software to multiple remote systems.
NOTE: The ivmdeploy script is dependent upon the other files that are present in its
directory when it is installed. If you want to use the script from another directory,
copy all the files with it.
Command Line Options
The iVMCLI interface is identical on both Windows and Linux systems.
The utility uses options that are consistent with the RACADM utility
options. For example, an option to specify iDRAC6 IP address requires the
same syntax for both RACADM and iVMCLI utilities.
The iVMCLI command format is as follows:
iVMCLI [parameter] [operating_system_shell_options]
Command-line syntax is case-sensitive. See "iVMCLI Parameters" on
page 341 for more information.
