Dell PowerEdge M1000e Chassis Management Controller Firmware Version 5.1 User’s Guide

You can log in to the CMC over SSH without entering a password. You can also send a single RACADM command as a command line argument to the SSH application. The command line options behave similar to remote RACADM because the session ends after the command is completed.

Before logging in to CMC over SSH, make sure that the public keys are uploaded.

When you log in using the service account, if a passphrase was set up when creating the public or private key pair, you may be prompted to enter that passphrase again. If a passphrase is used with the keys, both Windows and Linux clients provide methods to automate that as well. For Windows clients, you can use the Pageant application. It runs in the background and makes entering the passphrase transparent. For Linux clients, you can use the sshagent. For setting up and using either of these applications, see the documentation provided from that application.
