I have a Power edge DellR440 server with IDRAC-9. I am mounting and installing an ISO image and after that I want to run certain commands which will configure the OAM network for the server. Till now, I used to run these commands from the IDRAC Virtual Console. Now, I want to automate this task and want to know if there is anything through which I can send these commands to the virtual console from a remote server's CLI?

This particular feature is available in Super Micro servers. They have a utility called SMCIPMI Tool which lets you do remote keyboard operations (RKO) from your CLI. The commands you want to run on the managed server can be saved in a file in a remote server and the SMCIPMI Tool executes those commands in the IPMI console of the managed server. So basically whatever is there in the file is getting typed on the IPMI console of the Super Micro server. It even allows for individual key presses like enter, up arrow, down arrow, etc.

So please let me know if anything can be done similarly on Dell servers.
