racadm get NIC command does not work
I am encountering this issue, not sure if it is expected in new Gen17 hardware model though. Can someone help?
racadm>>get NIC
ERROR: Unable to perform requested operation.
racadm>> get nic.nicconfig
ERROR: SWC0244 : Invalid Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD).

Hi,
The SWC0244: Invalid Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) error occurs because NIC and nic.nicconfig are no longer valid top-level syntax targets for direct configuration checks in modern iDRAC environments. This is expected behavior on newer enterprise architectures, where hardware components require precise, long-form FQDD addresses or dedicated inventory subcommands.
