dracadm

I am getting this error when trying to use dracadm against a PowerEdgeM600

I have not had any luck using racadm against any of my dracs.
I can not see my firewall dropping anything...

Security Alert: Certificate is invalid - Certificate is not signed by Trusted Th
ird Party
Enter "Y" to continue,or any other key to quit:
Y
ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry to say, remote racadm is not supported on the M600 so you'll need to use telnet or SSH http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/idrac/idrac14modular/en/ug/html/chap01.htm#wp48948. Could also go through the CMC which does support racadm. For instance "racadm -r cmc-address -u root -p password serveraction -m server-12 powerdown" would power down a blade.

As for DRAC5 or the latest iDRAC6, if you have enabled remote racadm and can open a GUI session with a browser (racadm uses it's SSL) at the DRAC's address it should work. Also, the racadm command in OpenManage 5.5 introduces the "-S" option to force a prompt if it encounters an invalid certificate. Omitting the "-S" still reports an error but doesn't prompt before continuing.
