RACADM
Hi,
Can someone pls show me the syntax for setting the Virtual Console/Maximum Sessions to 2 on iDrac 7/8? (I can't find the racadm command for this particular entry).
Thx very much,
John Bradshaw

JB,
You can try below command
racadm -r %1 -u %2 -p %3 set iDRAC.VirtualConsole.MaxSessions 2
config option is not required when you use set option

Hello.
Try this command: iDRAC.VirtualConsole.MaxSessions where MaxSessions are the intergral values 1-4 with 4 being the default value.

Thx Robert.
So I tried this:
racadm -r %1 -u %2 -p %3 config –g set iDRAC.VirtualConsole.MaxSessions 2
Unfortunately, it didn't work on an R820 I was targeting. Other racadm commands were working fine against the same server.
How should the line be written?
Cheers,
John

I can not think of another format for the command syntax. Attempt to grant full access privilege to the virtual console to session users using iDRAC.VirtualConsole.AccessPrivilege 2 where 2 is a legal value for full access and try the sessions command one more time. By default, access to the virtual console is denied.

Hi Robert,
The command works when I Putty in to the box (racadm set iDRAC.VirtualConsole.MaxSessions 2)
but I can't get the command line correct for OME.(as above). Can u pls try running this on OME and see what your system returns?
racadm -r %1 -u %2 -p %3 config –g set iDRAC.VirtualConsole.MaxSessions 2
Thx,
JB
