These tools also consolidate the management applications used on management workstations.
PAGE 29
Supported Systems for RACADM RACADM is a command-line utility that enables administrators to configure and replicate settings across multiple Dell remote access controllers (RACs). The RACADM utility supports operations through the use of command-line parameters, switches, and a configuration file that contains all data required to configure a RAC. For more information on the RACADM utility, see the Dell Remote Access Controller Racadm User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.
PAGE 30
BMC Management Utility (BMU) is a utility to access Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and perform management activities. BMU allows remote, out-ofband LAN and/or serial port power control, event log access, and console redirection. IPMItool is a CLI utility that helps in configuring and managing devices using the IPMI version 1.5 and later protocol. IPMItool supports out-of-band (OOB) access (over a LAN or through the serial port) to a single system at a time. IPMItool also supports in-band access.
PAGE 31
Supported Systems for IPMItool In-Band IPMItool in-band also helps in configuring and managing devices. For more information on IPMItool, see the Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Controller Utilities User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com, on the Dell Systems Documentation CD, or on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. NOTE: The operating systems supported by IPMItool out-of-band are the same as those supported by BMU.
