Dell RACADM Command to set "User Interface Title Bar information"

I have this same need - does anyone know the solution?

I agree that setting this to host name makes sense. It's very convenient when you have multiple console windows open. I have not found a way to set this directly, however if you still have the default setting of Auto, you can simply set the iDRAC.Nic.DNSRacName via racadm and it will use that for the "User Interface Title Bar Information".

I simply ran something like:

racadm set iDRAC.Nic.DNSRacName `hostname -s`

Then if you look at the UITBI setting, if set to Auto, it should display the short hostname.

I tried to add the domain (not overly necessary), but it did not work as expected. It set the entire domain of the NIC and still did not use to build the UITBI value.

If you do want to set the domain anyway, you can do a similar thing:

racadm set iDRAC.Nic.DNSDomainName example.com

Again, DNSDomainName may not be what you want. Also note that you cannot have a '.' in your value for DNSRacName. I tried that a few different ways but couldn't get it to accept host.example.com. You can enter in host.example.com into the Web UI though...

Hope this helps!

The command to set the title bar information to display System host name:

racadm set iDRAC.webServer.TitleBarOption 4

other options are:

0- Auto
1- DNS RAC Name
2- IP Address
3- Service Tag
4- System Host Name
5- Custom

To set that hostname without running Dell's agent: 

racadm set System.ServerOS.HostName myhost.myco.com

To set the titlebar (and browser tab name) to whatever you please independently of the RAC host/domain names and the OS hostnameL

racadm set  iDRAC.webServer.TitleBarOption 5

racadm set iDRAC.webServer.TitleBarOptionCustom myhost.my.com
