Discovering, Importing, and

Verifying RACs

Firmware updates or configuring RACs requires discovery and verification of the

RACs on the network. You can use DRACT to discover the RAC IP addresses or

import a .csv file containing the RAC IP addresses that are discovered, and append

the imported list of RAC IP addresses to the existing list.

You can specify the RAC types you need to discover for a specific IP address

or a range of IP addresses.

After discovering the RAC IP addresses on your network, you must verify that

you have the required permissions to update firmware or configure the RACs

using login credentials that is common for all the discovered RAC IP

addresses.

You can perform the following:

• Discover RAC IP addresses on your network.

• Import a

.csv

file that contains a list of discovered RAC IP addresses.

• Perform a discovery and then import a

.csv

file. The imported list of RAC

IP addresses is appended to the existing list.

To discover RAC IP addresses on your network:
