Users Guide

• Use the RACADM examples in this section as a guide to create a batch le of RACADM commands and then execute the batch le on
each managed system.
• Create the iDRAC conguration le and execute the racadm set command on each managed system using the same conguration le.
If you are conguring a new iDRAC or if you have used the racadm racresetcfg command, the only current user is root with the password
calvin. The racadm racresetcfg command resets the iDRAC to the default values.
NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time. As a result, a user may have a dierent index number on each
iDRAC.
To verify if a user exists, type the following command once for each index (1–16):
racadm get iDRAC.Users.<index>.UserName
Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. The key eld is iDRAC.Users.UserName=. If a user name is
displayed after =, that index number is taken.
NOTE: You can also use racadm get -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myle.cfg le, which includes all iDRAC
conguration parameters.
To enable SNMP v3 authentication for a user, use SNMPv3AuthenticationType, SNMPv3Enable, SNMPv3PrivacyType objects. For more
information, see the RACADM Command Line Interface Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
If you use the conguration XML le, use the AuthenticationProtocol, ProtocolEnable, and PrivacyProtocol attributes to enable SNMPv3
authentication.
