Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to locally configure or

remotely configure your CMC. The utility runs on the management station and the managed system. It is

available on the Dell OpenManage Systems Management and Documentation DVD or at

support.dell.com.

The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:

• Local — Supports running RACADM commands from the managed server’s operating system. To run

local RACADM commands, install the OpenManage software on the managed server. Only one

instance of Local RACADM can be executed on a system at a time. If you try to open another instance,

an error message is displayed and the second instance of Local RACADM closes immediately. To

download the local RACADM tool from support.dell.com, select Drivers and Downloads, select a

server, and then select Systems Management → Dell Toolkit.

NOTE: Local racadm and local racadm proxy runs with root user privilege.

• SSH or Telnet — Also known as Firmware RACADM. Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to

CMC using SSH or Telnet. Similar to Remote RACADM, at the RACADM prompt, directly run the

commands without the RACADM prefix.

• Remote — Supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a

laptop or desktop. To run Remote RACADM commands, install the DRAC Tools utility from the

OpenManage software on the remote computer. To run Remote RACADM commands:

– Formulate the command as a SSH or Telnet RACADM command.

For more information about the options, see RACADM Subcommand Details. To download the local

RACADM tool from dell.com/support, click Servers, Storage & Networking in the General Support

section. Click PowerEdge, click the required PowerEdge system, and then click Drivers & downloads.
