• racadm deploy -m < module> -u root -p < password> -s < ipaddress> < subnet> < gateway> -b < device> -o < no|yes>
• racadm deploy -m < module> -u root -p < password> -s -6 < ipv6Address> < prefixlen> < gateway> -b < device> -o < no|yes>

  where < prefixlen> is a number between 0 and 128.

• racadm deploy -m < module> -u root -p < password> -d [-6]
• racadm deploy -a -u root -p < password>

• -b < device > — Specifies the first boot device; must be used with -o.
• Use with -m < module> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all servers

  Legal values: device=None, PXE, HDD, CD-DVD, vFDD, vCD-DVD, SD, FDD, RFS

• -o < no|yes > — Indicates if the server should boot from the device once; must be used with -o.

  Use with -m < module> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all servers.

• -a — server/switch. Applies options to all modules present in the chassis of the given module type. Specify the value as server or switch. Default value is server. Switches must support Ethernet Management.
• -u root — Indicates that the < password > is supplied for the root user on the server. root is a constant parameter, the only value that is valid with the ‑u option. Required Username when you are setting IOA values.
• -m < module > — Specifies the server you want to configure.
  Legal value must be one of the following values:

  • server-n where n=1–4

  • switch-n where n=1–2.

• -p < password > — Specifies the password for the root user on the server or switch.

  Legal values: For switches, valid passwords are 6 - 32 ASCII characters in length, ranging in value 32–125 (decimal). For servers, valid passwords are 1 – 20 ASCII characters in length, ranging in value 32 – 126 (decimal).

• -s < ipaddress subnet gateway> — Sets the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the specified server, separated by single spaces.
  • ipaddress — A string representing a valid IP address. For example, 192.168.0.20.
  • subnet — A string representing a valid subnet mask. For example, 255.255.255.0.
  • gateway — A string representing a valid gateway address. For example, 192.168.0.1.
• -d — Enables DHCP for the specified server.

  The -s and -d options cannot be used together in the same command.

• -6 — Enables IPv6 auto configuration (when used with -d.) Sets static IPv6 addresses (when used with -s).
• -v —SNMPv2 community string. Valid community strings are 1–20 characters in length, with valid ASCII characters in the range [33–125] (decimal). Protocol version set to SNMPv2. Permission on community string is read-only.

• racadm deploy -m server-1 -s 192.168.0.20 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

  The server was deployed successfully.

  The deploy command generates an error when used on the extension slot of a multi-slot server.
