How to determin OS ip via racadm

Question

using racadam.exe I can query a remote system using  'racadm getsysinfo' for example but this only tells me the idrac ip which I already know and the mac addresses and FQDD's of each nic. Is there a similar racadm command that will tell me the OS ip address(es) for a given machine?   Thanks.

Hello,

You can install iDRAC Service Module(iSM) on host OS that will give host OS IP details to iDRAC.

After iSM is installed on host OS and ServiceModuleState is running in iDRAC, racadm command gethostnetworkinterfaces will provide host network interface details.

To know the ServiceModulestate and features provided by iDRAC Service Module(iSM) racadm command get idrac.servicemodule can be used.

iSM UG can be referred for more details on how to install, iSM features, supported Operating Systems etc.:

Hello

I don't know of a way to get the OS IP address via RACADM. You can get a lot of information with racadm get nic and the various sub-commands. I don't think the OS IP is something the iDRAC tracks. You can review the available commands in the CLI guide. It looks like the latest for the iDRAC8 is on firmware 2.05.

OpenManage has its own CLI, OMconfig, you might be able to get it from there. OpenManage Server Administrator should have a CLI guide on the support page.
