Using RACADM Remotely
NOTE: Configure the IP address on your iDRAC6 before using the RACADM remote
capability. For more information about setting up your iDRAC6 and a list of related
documents, see "Basic Installation of the iDRAC6."
RACADM provides a remote capability option (-r) that allows you to connect
to the managed system and execute RACADM subcommands from a remote
console or management station. To use the remote capability, you need a valid
user name (
-u option) and password (-p option), and the iDRAC6 IP address.
NOTE: If the system from where you are accessing the remote system does not
have an iDRAC6 certificate in its default certificate store, a message is displayed
when you type a RACADM command. For more information about iDRAC6
certificates, see "Securing iDRAC6 Communications Using SSL and Digital
Certificates."
SSH Interface Provides the same capabilities as the Telnet console using an
encrypted transport layer for higher security.
IPMI Interface Provides access through the iDRAC6 to the remote system’s
basic management features. The interface includes IPMI over
LAN, IPMI over Serial, and Serial over LAN. For more
information, see the Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management
Controller Utilities User’s Guide at support.dell.com\manuals.
