racadm to change location
Hi,
We have number of physical hardware, mostly PowerEdge servers all connected to iDRAC and running the latest version. I have searched several places to see if I can find a command where I can find a way to see and change the location of the server (System/Location) remotely for tagging purposes and came up with this command.
Command I use partially works and displays some of the information:
racadm -r -u root -p getsysinfo -c
Unfortunately this does not show me the same information I am able to see from iDRAC GUI.
Can I also use similar command line to configure this remotely?
As an example;
racadm -r -u root -p setsysinfo -c "Test Datacenter"

Can you check below command
racadm -r -u root -p get system.ServerTopology
To configure these attribute you need to run below command
racadm -r -u root -p set system.ServerTopology.
E.g.
racadm -r -u root -p set system.ServerTopology.DataCenterName "Test Datacenter"

The link you mentioned have details on get/set command. To get details on the attribute you need to refer iDRAC attribute registry. Below link have the details on location attributes

This works perfectly - Thank you!
Is there an equivalent commands for older iDRACs (iDRAC 7 & ?
Running the same command for these, throws an error:
ERROR: SWC0244 : Invalid Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD)

Refer below link for iDRAC 7 and 8. Group is System.Location. Please ensure you are using latest iDRAC FW on these servers
