Dell Remote Access Controller Administration CLI

The Remote Access Controller Administration (RACADM) command-line utility provides a scriptable interface to perform inventory, configuration, update, and health status check of the PowerEdge servers. RACADM operates in multiple modes:

  • Local—supports running RACADM commands from the managed server’s operating system.
  • SSH—known as firmware RACADM; is accessible by logging in to iDRAC using SSH.
  • Remote—supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop.

RACADM is supported by iDRAC. Local and remote RACADM is supported on Windows Server, the Windows clients, and on Red Hat, SuSe, and Ubuntu Linux.

Using a text-based interface for all iDRAC functions, RACADM supports the viewing and changing of all server attributes. This includes BIOS, iDRAC, PERC, NIC, and HBA settings as well as server cooling and power-status and settings. RACADM also supports profile-based server configuration management, detailed hardware and firmware inventory, and access to server logs.

For more information, see the RACADM command line Reference Guide for iDRAC available at Dell Manuals page.
