racadm 7.2 no support for local racadm commands

HI,

I recently ordered some R420's (new hardware for us, used to use R310's) and noticed my racadm commands no longer seem to work locally on the new boxes. Is there something I'm missing?

(Linux Centos 5.9 on R420, enterprise iDrac7 with Dell Linux Repo's )

Linux Prompt# racadm

NOTE:
This Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller does not support RACADM commands.
Please contact Dell Customer Service to upgrade your version of iDRAC.

It's not an option for us, as we have cfengine deploy a script to auto configure the drac. If they are express we will need to change them to enterprise.

Sounds like that is a DRAC express not enterprise. Run the commands remotely.

So after futher investigation I found that our iDrac7 does have the enterprise license installed. I'm starting to think either there is a bug with iDrac7 and the racadm software. Is there a way dell can test this, or can someone recommend a way for me to verify there is a problem with the software?

Also downgraded srvadmin packages to 7.0 (which have worked just fine with our R310's and iDrac6) will not work with the r420 with iDrac7 enterprise.

Found the solution working with dell support. Hopefully this helps someone else. When using the Dell Linux repo's it does not state you need to add additional packages for iDrac7 support

yum install srvadmin-idrac7 srvadmin-idracadm7

Without these you cannot perform racadm commands locally and they do not install by default with the srvadmin-all packages
