Diagnostics Console Command

Hey,

Do you have any command reference guide for 'Diagnostics Console Command' (Maintenance > Diagnostics) in iDRAC 9 or 10?

The iDRAC online guide recommends: 'For information about the commands, see the iDRAC Online Help.' Funny, eh?

So where can I find this mystical command guide?

Thanks a lot!

    Hi,

     

    To access the guide, you will need to log in to iDRAC, Maintenance > Diagnostics. Then on the right side, there is a pop-up menu Help and Feedback. Click on Help (Get help with iDRAC features). There is a page for Diagnostics Console Command. I'll list them out here from that page:

     

    Diagnostics Console Command

    In the Command field, enter one of the following diagnostic commands and click Submit. The result is displayed.

    Command Description
    arp Displays the contents of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table. ARP entries may not be added or deleted.
    ifconfig Displays the contents of the network interface table.
    netstat Displays the contents of the routing table. If the optional interface number is provided in the text field to the right of the netstat option, then netstat displays additional information regarding the traffic across the interface, buffer usage, and other network interface information.
    ping <IP Address> Verifies that the destination IPv4 address is reachable from iDRAC with the current routing-table contents. An Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packet is sent to the destination IP address based on the current routing table contents.
    gettracelog Displays the iDRAC trace log. It may take a few seconds to return the trace log. The command gettracelog -i returns the number of records in the trace log. The -A option returns the trace log without the record numbers. See the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller RACADM CLI Guide for more information about the gettracelog command.
    ping6 <IPv6 Address> Verifies that the destination IPv6 address is reachable from iDRAC with the current routing-table contents.
