iDRAC script

Question

Hi all, I`ve been successfully using a slightly altered version of this script to change various iDRAC settings. I`m unaware of having anything changed in our environment to prevent me from using it, however it stopped working since a while. For instance I launch this command 'racadm -u root -p ***** -r xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx set system.location.rack.name test' from my PC, it will successfully update the parameter. However, I use the script to update the same parameter (running it also from my PC), the output will be 'ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address', although in the lifecycle logs I do see the following: 'Successfully logged in using root, from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and RACADM' Script in attachment Could somebody help me out?

Hi Robert,

You mean to LOM(1,2,3 or 4) instead of Dedicated? This way I`ve only lost connectivity with the drac, since it obtained a different IP address. Anyway, I`ve modified the script to target the new IP, but the result is the same.

And besides all this, we have thousands of servers, so it`s not a viable solution.

Thanks
