Remote RACADM fails to connect to iDRAC from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1.
Make sure that the ocial openssl and libopenssl versions are installed. Run the following command to install the RPM packages:
rpm -ivh --force < filename >
where, filename is the openssl or libopenssl rpm package le.
For example:
rpm -ivh --force openssl-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh --force libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
Why are the remote RACADM and web-based services unavailable after a property change?
It may take a while for the remote RACADM services and the Web-based interface to become available after the iDRAC web server resets.
The iDRAC Web server is reset when:
• The network conguration or network security properties are changed using the iDRAC web user interface.
• The iDRAC.Webserver.HttpsPort property is changed, including when a racadm set -f <config file> changes it.
• The racresetcfg command is used.
• iDRAC is reset.
• A new SSL server certicate is uploaded.
Why is an error message displayed if you try to delete a partition after creating it using local RACADM?
This occurs because the create partition operation is in-progress. However, the partition is deleted after sometime and a message that the
partition is deleted is displayed. If not, wait until the create partition operation is completed and then delete the partition.

How to nd an iDRAC IP address for a blade server?
• Using CMC web interface:
Go to Chassis > Servers > Setup > Deploy. In the table that is displayed, view the IP address for the server.
• Using the Virtual Console: Reboot the server to view the iDRAC IP address during POST. Select the "Dell CMC" console in the OSCAR
to log in to CMC through a local serial connection. CMC RACADM commands can be sent from this connection.
For more information on CMC RACADM commands, see the CMC RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at
