View iDRAC7 license key

Cameron,

          You can download the iDRAC license file from Server -> Licenses page of iDRAC GUI.

Excellent!

Thank you :)

Anybody?

If I wish to keep my iDRAC7 key backups on a linux server on the same LAN as my dracs and manage key export and import via racadm. How would I do that as when I run this command when logged into the drac over ssh it fails:

racadm license export -f SN_of_server.drac.key -l x.x.x.x -u root -p rootpass -c iDRAC.Embedded.1

x.x.x.x is a linux server in the same /24 as the drac

Cameron,

           Do you created a NFS or CIFS share on the Linux machine? For -l option to work we need to create NFS or CIFS share on the Linux server where you are planning to keep all license files.

        If you are using CIFS share you can use following command to take a backup of the license.

racadm license export -f -l //Linux Server IP/Share Name -u -p -c iDRAC.Embedded.1

        If you are using NFS share you can use following command to take a backup of the license.

racadm license export -f -l Linux Server IP:/Share Name -c iDRAC.Embedded.1

         Another option you have is to use Remote Racadm utility. In this case there is no need to create share on your Linux server. You can download this from below link (for RHEL) and install on your linux machine

        After this you can run following remote racadm command to export the license to local file system

racadm -r -u -p license export -f -c iDRAC.Embedded.1

Thank you Shine!

Can that Remote Racadm utility be used to also import a license?

Yes. Commands are similar. Replace Export with Import. To get more details and usage you can run follwoing commands

For Remote Racadm

racadm -r -u -p help license

racadm -r -u -p help license import

racadm -r -u -p help license export

For SSH

racadm help license

racadm help license import

racadm help license export

Nice :)
