RACADM is already executing message
I am trying to run racadm commands on a RedHat 5 server and I get the message that "RACADM is already exectiing".
e.g.
racadm getsysinfo
One Instance of Local RACADM is already executing. Exiting the current session.
I have stop and restarted OMSA and reset the DRAC from the web interface to no avail. Has anyone else seen this issue and/or offer a solution ?
Thanks

in case someone else stumbles across this issue
rm -rf /var/run/local_racadm.pid
the location of local_racadm.pid may vary depending on your flavor of Linux
once this file is removed, racadm commands should work again. it worked for me in all 10 of 10 cases i had. the pid likely got locked by a previously failed racadam command or an unresponsive os or something.
hope this helps!
