214 Deploying Your Operating System Using VMCLI
If the remote system accepts the commands and the iDRAC6 authorizes the
connection, the command continues to run until either of the following occurs:
• The VMCLI connection terminates for any reason.
• The process is manually terminated using an operating system control. For
example, in Windows, you can use the Task Manager to terminate the process.
VMCLI Parameters
iDRAC6 IP Address
-r <iDRAC-IP-address>[:<iDRAC-SSL-port>]
This parameter provides the iDRAC6 IPv4 address and SSL port, which the
utility needs to establish a Virtual Media connection with the target iDRAC6.
If you enter an invalid IPv4 address or DDNS name, an error message appears
and the command is terminated.
<iDRAC-IP-address> is a valid, unique IPv4 address or the iDRAC6
Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS) name (if supported).
If <iDRAC-SSL-port> is omitted, port 443 (the default port) is used.
The optional SSL port is not required unless you change the iDRAC6
default SSL port.
iDRAC6 User Name
-u <iDRAC-user-name>
This parameter provides the iDRAC6 user name that will run Virtual Media.
The <iDRAC-user-name> must have the following attributes:
• Valid user name
• iDRAC6 Virtual Media User permission
If iDRAC6 authentication fails, an error message appears and the command
is terminated.
iDRAC6 User Password
-p <iDRAC-user-password>
This parameter provides the password for the specified iDRAC6 user.
If iDRAC6 authentication fails, an error message displays and the
command terminates.
