Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 3.0 for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM CLI Guide

Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to remotely configure your Chassis Management Controller (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:

• SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or telnet. You do not have to specify the CMC IP, user name or password to run Firmware RACADM commands.
• Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. You must install the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run Remote RACADM commands. To execute Remote RACADM commands, you must formulate the command such as a an SSH/Telnet RACADM command except that you must also use the –r –i options or the –r –u –p options. For more information about these options, see the "RACADM Subcommand Details."
