These tools also consolidate the management applications used on management workstations.
PAGE 33
Supported Systems for RACADM RACADM is a command-line utility that enables administrators to configure and replicate settings across multiple Dell remote access controllers (DRACs). 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 DRAC. 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 34
Supported Systems for BMU and IPMItool Out-of- Band 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 Command Line Interface (CLI) utility that helps in configuring and managing devices using the IPMI version 1.5 and later protocol.
PAGE 35
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 or on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
