Sorry to say, remote racadm is not supported on the M600 so you'll need to use telnet or SSH http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/idrac/idrac14modular/en/ug/html/chap01.htm#wp48948. Could also go through the CMC which does support racadm. For instance "racadm -r cmc-address -u root -p password serveraction -m server-12 powerdown" would power down a blade.
As for DRAC5 or the latest iDRAC6, if you have enabled remote racadm and can open a GUI session with a browser (racadm uses it's SSL) at the DRAC's address it should work. Also, the racadm command in OpenManage 5.5 introduces the "-S" option to force a prompt if it encounters an invalid certificate. Omitting the "-S" still reports an error but doesn't prompt before continuing.
