Note:
1. To run the below set of local racadm commands, usbarbitrar needs to be disabled in the host.
The command list are as follows:
[racadm update, fwupdate, lclog, get/set (file operations), getconfig/config (file operations), techsupreport, supportassist, hwinventory,swinventory, bioscert, inlettemphistory and gethostnetworkinterfaces.]
This is because usb partition will be attached with host for these commands.

To disable usbarbitrar, run the below command:
[root@localhost:]/etc/init.d/usbarbitrator stop

When usbarbitrar is enabled and when the above racadm commands are run, user is notified with the below error message.
ERROR: usbarbitrar is enabled. Disable usbarbitrar by running ""/etc/init.d/usbarbitrator stop"" and retry the command.

2. To run remote racadm commands, firewall need to be disabled.

To disable firewall completely, run the below command:
[root@localhost:]esxcli network firewall unload

Alternatively, User also can set the specific rules for the IP and port to disable the firewall.
