Introduction

NOTE: In this version of RACADM, the Linux shell features such as ctrl+d, home, del, and end shortcut keys are not supported.

This document provides information about the RACADM subcommands, supported RACADM interfaces, and property database groups and object denitions for Dell Chassis System (CMC).

New in This Release

• Added the cfgQuickDeploy group.

• Added the eventlters command.

• Added the cfgTrapsSNMPv3UserId and cfgTrapsSNMPv3UserName properties to the cfgTraps group.

• Added the cfgChassisACPowerRecoveryDisable property to the cfgChassisPower group.

• Added the cfgRacTuneFipsModeEnable and cfgRacTuneTLSProtocolVersionEnable property to the cfgRacTuning group.

• Added the cfgOobSnmpProtocol and cfgOobSnmpTrapFormat properties to the cfgOobSnmp group.

Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to locally congure or remotely congure your CMC. The utility runs on the management station and the managed system. It is available on the Dell OpenManage Systems

Management and Documentation DVD or at dell.com/support.

The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:

• SSH or Telnet — Also known as Firmware RACADM. Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or Telnet. Similar to Remote RACADM, at the RACADM prompt, directly run the commands without the RACADM prex.

• Remote — Supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. To run Remote RACADM commands, install the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote computer. To run Remote RACADM commands:

– Formulate the command as a SSH or Telnet RACADM command.

For more information about the options, see RACADM Subcommand Details. To download the local RACADM tool from dell.com/support, click Servers, Storage & Networking in the General Support section. Click PowerEdge, click the required PowerEdge system, and then click Drivers & downloads.

fwupdate

Table 5. fwupdate — Details

Description

Allows you to update the rmware on the KVM, active CMC, standby CMC, iDRAC or an IOM infrastructure device. You can:

• Check the rmware update process status.

• Update CMC from FTP or TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional path.

• Update CMC from the local le system using Remote RACADM.

• There can only be a single update operation in progress at any time. In addition, the fwupdate subcommand may only update one or more devices of a single kind at a time.

NOTE: CMC rmware update is supported only for the rmware versions 3.10, 3.20, 3.21, 4.0, 4.10,

4.11, 4.30, 4.31, 4.45, and 4.5. For any version other than these, rst update to any of these versions, and then update to the required version.

To use this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.

NOTE: The fwupdate command is not supported for iDRAC7 or later. Use the CMC GUI to perform the operation.

NOTE:

• Running the fwupdate subcommand to update the rmware on the active CMC resets itself and all the network connections are dropped. During update of all other modules, including the standby CMC, the active CMC continues to run normally without resetting.

• In a chassis supported by DC PSUs, an error message is displayed if you attempt to update the rmware with a version without DC PSU support.

• The fwupdate subcommand generates an error when used on the extension slot of a multi-slot server.

• While Lifecycle Controller is running for racadam commands, you cannot perform other operations which need Lifecycle Controller Partition. If the Lifecycle Controller Partition is unreleased (because of improper closure of racadm command in the partition), then wait 20-35 minutes to clear the Lifecycle Controller Partition

Signed CMC Firmware Image

• For Dell’s 13th generation of PowerEdge servers and later, CMC rmware includes a signature which is veried by CMC before update to ensure the authenticity of the uploaded rmware. The rmware update process is successful only if the rmware image is authenticated by CMC to be a valid image from the service provider and has not been altered. The rmware update process is stopped if CMC cannot verify the signature of the uploaded rmware image.

• Upload rmware image from TFTP server and start rmware update.

Synopsis

NOTE: Run the rmware update command through only one remote racadm session at a time.

For SSH or Telnet or Serial:

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a <tftp_server_ip_address_or_FQDN> -d <path> [-m <module>]

racadm fwupdate -f <ftp_server_ip_address_or_FQDN> <username> <password> -d <path> [-m <module>]

racadm fwupdate -u -m iominf-<n>

racadm fwupdate -s [-m <module>]

racadm fwupdate -c [-m <module>]

For Remote RACADM:

racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <path> [-m <module>]

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.10 -d firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active

racadm fwupdate -r [-m <module>]

racadm -r 192.168.0.120 -u <username> -p <password> fwupdate -p -u -d firming.cmc

When using FTP, if you provide the full path to the image le on the CLI, then the CMC uses that path to locate that le on the host. If full path is not provided and the host system is running Linux or another variant of UNIX, then CMC searches the home directory of the specied user for the le. If the host system is running Windows, then a default folder, such as C:\ftproot is searched.

NOTE: When attempting to run rmware update task, if the rmware image path length is greater than 256 characters, remote RACADM client exits with the error message "ERROR: Specified path is too long".

NOTE: When attempting to run rmware update task using racadm fwupdate command, if the rmware image path length is greater than 256 characters. Remote RACADM client exits with the error message "

Input • —u — Performs the rmware update operation (used with -p and -g).

• —s — Displays the status of the rmware update. Use this option by itself. Lists active SD card features and SD card status.

NOTE: Use —m to display the status of the module update. Omit -m to display the status of the active CMC update.

NOTE: The value all is used only to obtain the status of all targets to update.

• -g — Downloads the rmware update using the TFTP server.

• -a — The IP Address option species the TFTP server IP address, used with -g option. Species the TFTP server IP address or FQDN used for the rmware image (used with -g).

• -d — The -d, or directory option species the directory on the TFTP server or on CMC’s host server, where the rmware update le resides.

Species the source path where the rmware image resides.

Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the le if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it defaults to a directory congured on the TFTP server.

ERROR: Specified path is too long".

• -p — The -p option is used to upload the rmware image from the client.

NOTE: This option is only supported on the remote interface(s) and Windows operating systems.

• -m <module> — Species the module or device to be updated. <module> is one of the following values:

– cmc-active — default state if –m is not specied. – cmc-standby – kvm – server-<n> — where n=1–16 – server-<nx> — where n=1–8; x = a, b, c, d (lowercase) – server-<g> <generation> — where generation = iDRAC or iDRAC6 only. – iominf-<n> — where n = 1–6

NOTE: Multiple modules can be specied except iominf-<n>, for example, –m <module 1> –m <module 2> and so on.

• -f — Species the FTP server IP address or FQDN, username, and password used for rmware image. Applies FTP download process for rmware update.

• -c — Cancels an ongoing rmware update. The cancel operation is supports the following values:

– cmc-active — This is the default option if -m is not specied. – cmc-standby – server-<n> — where n = 1 to 16 – server-<nx> — where n = 1 to 8; x = a to d (lowercase) – server-<g> — where g = generation (iDRAC, iDRAC6) – iominf-<n> — where n = 1 to 6 – kvm

NOTE: Omit -m to cancel an active CMC update.

CMC version 3.00 accepts IPv4, IPv6 or fully qualified domain names (FQDN) for both FTP and TFTP servers.

NOTE: You can specify the cmc-active and cmc-standby modules at the same time along with one or more server-n modules. This option enables the devices to be updated together.

NOTE: Verify that the update applied to servers for a particular generation has been validated for all impacted server models.
