How to connect to server via iDRAC, python

Hello

The iDRAC and server should be on different IPs. When you connect to the iDRAC via SSH it should not have anything to do with the server's host OS.

I'm trying to write a script in python doing it and executing some commands on the server

What commands are you having issues running on the iDRAC?

Thanks

Hi!

Everything is working fine when I do the commands manually, and with my script it is working to connect to the iDRAC through "putty.exe -ssh@'iDRAC-IP'". I can also write commands to iDRAC through my script (such as >racadm getssninfo). I can also run the command >connect in the iDRAC which is the command to connect to the server itself (this works manually). What I am not unable to do is run commands to the server after this. I want to run commands such as >ifconfig -a. (Note:everything works manually) I'm thinking it's not working because I'm not setting up a specific "channel" to the new window (corresponding to the server). The channel I have is to the iDRAC through the -ssh... command. Does that make things clearer? So what I want to do is to get it to work to write commands to the server itself. 

Thanks

That has nothing to do with the iDRAC or any Dell product. I'll let the community try to assist with your scripting issue.

Hi, is this issue is resolved. I have the similar use case. Please keep us posted.

import dracclient.client

client= dracclient.client.DRACClient('000.000.22.33.2', 'myyt', 'mnbvsse', port=788)
power = client.get_power_state()
print(power)

output :

 AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

import dracclient.client

client= dracclient.client.DRACClient('000.000.22.33.2', 'myyt', 'mnbvsse', port=788)
#power = client.get_power_state()
print(power)

it is connecting but i coudnt get any status from server 

import dracclient.client

client= dracclient.client.DRACClient('000.000.22.33.2', 'myyt', 'mnbvsse', port=788)
power = client.get_power_state()
print(power)

What are the end goals of the script? What funcitonality are you looking for?

we are trying with dracclient module in python

not with redfish
