Introduction

This document provides information about the RACADM subcommands, supported RACADM interfaces, and property database groups and object definitions of CMC for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s.

Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to remotely configure your Remote Access Controller (RAC). 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 support.dell.com.
The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:
SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or telnet. You do not have to specify the CMC IP, user name or password to run Firmware RACADM commands.
Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. You must install the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run Remote RACADM commands. To execute Remote RACADM commands, you must formulate the command such as a an SSH/Telnet RACADM command except that you must also use the –r –i options or the –r –u –p options. For more information about these options, see the "RACADM Subcommand Details."

RACADM Syntax Usage

The following section describes the syntax usage for SSH/Telnet and Remote RACADM.

SSH or Telnet RACADM

racadm getconfig -g <groupname> [-o <objectname>][-i <indexnumber>]
racadm <subcommand>
Example
racadm getconfig -g idracinfo
racadm getsysinfo

Remote RACADM

racadm -r <racIpAddr> -u <username> -p <password> getconfig -g <groupname> [-o <objectname>] [-i <indexnumber>]
racadm -r <racIpAddr> -u <username> -p <password> <subcommand>
11
Example
racadm -r <racIpAddr> -u <username> -p <password> getconfig -g idracinfo
racadm -r <racIpAddr> -u <username> -p <password> getsysinfo

RACADM Command Options

The following table lists the options for the RACADM command.
Option Description
-r <racIpAddr>
-u <usrName> Specifies the user name that is used to
-p <password> Specifies the password used to authenticate the
-S Specifies that RACADM should check for invalid
Specifies the controller’s remote IP address.
authenticate the command transaction. If the -u option is used, the -p option must be used, and the
-i option (interactive) is not allowed.
command transaction. If the -p option is used, the
-i option is not allowed.
certificate errors. RACADM stops the execution of the command with an error message if it detects an invalid certificate.
-i <indexnumber> Specifies the index number for the indexed group,
if applicable.
-g <groupname> Specifies the group name, if applicable.
-o objectname Specifies the object name, if applicable.
The following table provides the supported RACADM interfaces.

RACADM Subcommand Details

This section provides detailed descriptions about the RACADM subcommands, including the syntax and valid entries.

Guidelines to Quote Strings Containing Special Characters When Using RACADM Commands

When using strings that contain special characters, use the following guidelines:
Strings containing the following special characters must be quoted using single quotation marks or double quotation marks:
$ (dollar sign)
" (double quotation marks)
' (single quotation marks)
` (back quotation marks)
\ (backslash)
~ (tilde)
; (semicolon)
| (vertical bar)
( (left parentheses)
) (right parentheses)
& (ampersand)
> (greater than)
< (less than)
# (pound)
ASCII code 32 (space)
NOTE: The - (dash) character cannot be the first character of the string, regardless of whether the string is quoted.
There are different escaping rules for using single quotation mark and double quotation marks.
For double quoting:
The following characters must be escaped by prepending a backslash:
$ (dollar sign)
" (double quotation marks)
' (single quotation marks)
17
` (back quotation marks)
\ (backslash)
For example, use the following for a string that contains the special characters, $, ",',`and \.
For single quotation marks:
No character escaping is necessary.
A single quotation mark cannot be used even with a backslash escaped.
NOTE: An empty string may be specified as either "" (using double quotation marks) or '' (using single quotation mark).

fwupdate

Description
Allows you to update the CMC firmware, chassis infrastructure firmware. You can:
Check the firmware update process status.
Update the firmware from a FTP or a TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional path.
29
Update the firmware from the local file system using remote RACADM.
The subcommand updates one or more devices of a single type at a time.
To use this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.
NOTE: Running the subcommand to update the CMC firmware resets the CMC, causing all network connections to get logged off.
NOTE: The subcommand generates an error, when used on the extension slot of a multi-slot server.
The CMC firmware performs a signature verification step to ensure the authenticity of the uploaded firmware. The firmware update process is successful only if the firmware image is authenticated by CMC to be a valid image from the service provider and has not been altered. The firmware update process is stopped if CMC cannot verify the signature of the uploaded firmware image. A warning event is then logged and an appropriate error message is displayed.
Synopsis
Using Remote RACADM:
racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <firmware image>
NOTE: iDRAC7 targets are not supported from CMC. Use the CMC GUI to update iDRAC7 targets from CMC.
When using FTP, if you provide the full path to the image file on the CLI, then the CMC uses that path to locate that file on the host. If you do not provide a full path, then the CMC searches the home directory of the specified user for the file if the host system is running Linux or another variant of UNIX. If the host system is running Windows, then a default folder, such as C:\ftproot is searched.
NOTE: While performing firmware update using the racadm fwupdate command, if the number of characters in the firmware image path is greater than 256 characters, Remote RACADM session logs off with the error message too long.
NOTE: While performing firmware CMC firmware upgrade if the uploaded firmware image file does not contain a verification signature or it contains a verification signature, which is not valid or corrupted, the following message is displayed:
Invalid firmware: The firmware image validation was unsuccessful
NOTE: While performing CMC firmware downgrade if the computed signature of that earlier version is not recognized by the current CMC firmware, the following message is displayed:
Firmware downgrade is unsuccessful: a downgrade to this firmware version is not supported
racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d firmimg.cmc ­m

getconfig

Description Retrieves CMC configuration parameters individually, or all CMC
configuration groups may be retrieved and saved to a file.
Synopsis
Input
racadm getconfig -f <filename>
racadm getconfig -g <groupName> [-I <index>]
racadm getconfig -u <username>
racadm getconfig -h
racadm getconfig -g <groupName> -o <objectName> [-i index]
-f — The -f <filename> option directs getconfig to write the entire CMC
configuration to a configuration file. This file can be used for batch configuration operations using the config subcommand.
-g — The -g <groupName>, or group option, can be used to display the configuration for a single group. The groupName is the name for the group used in the racadm.cfg files. If the group is an indexed group, use the -i option.
-h — The -h, or help option, displays a list of all available configuration groups in alphabetical order. This option is useful when you do not have exact group names.
-i — The -i <index>, or index option, is valid only for indexed groups and can be used to specify a unique group. The <index>is a decimal integer from 1 through n, where n can vary from 1 to maximum number of indexes a particular group supports. If -i <index> is not specified, a value of 1 is assumed for groups, which are tables that have multiple entries. The index is specified by the index value, not a named value.
-o — The -o <objectname> or object option specifies the object name that is used in the query. This option is optional and can be used with the
-g option.
-u — The -u <username>, or user name option, can be used to display the configuration for the specified user. The <username> option is the login name for the user.
-v — The -v option displays additional details with the display of the properties and is used with the -g option.
Output This subcommand generates error output upon encountering either of the
following:
Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or other invalid database members
RACADM CLI transport failures
If errors are not encountered, this subcommand displays the contents of the specified configuration.

getdcinfo

Description Displays general I/O module and daughter card configuration information.
Only the CMC controls daughtercards.
To use this subcommand, you must have the CMC Login User privilege.
NOTE: Fabric verification for server DCs is performed only when the chassis is turned on. When the chassis is on stand-by power, iDRACs on the server modules remain turned off and thus are unable to report the server's DC fabric type. The DC fabric type may not be reported in the CMC user interface until iDRAC on the server is turned on.
Synopsis
Input -n — Displays the model names for the daughter cards in servers.
Example
The following example is for a system with multi-slot servers.

Import a license:
– Import a license from a CIFS share to a device (for example,
Integrated CMC):
racadm license import -u admin -p passwd -f License.xml -l //192.168.2.140/licshare -c cmc.integrated.1
– Import a license from an NFS share to a device (for example,
Integrated CMC):
racadm license import -f License.xml -l
192.168.2.14:/share -c cmc.integrated.1
– Import a license from the local file system using Remote RACADM:
racadm license import -u admin -p passwd -r
192.168.0.120 -f C:\Mylicdir\License.xml -c cmc.integrated.1
Export a license file:
– Export license to an NFS share using transaction ID (for example,
transaction 27).
racadm license export -f License.xml -l
192.168.2.140:/licshare -t 27
– Export the license to a CIFS share specifying the entitlement ID (for
example, abcdxyz):
racadm license export -u admin -p passwd -f License.xml -l //192.168.2.140/licshare -e abcdxyz
– Export license to a CIFS share specifying the FQDD. While using the -
c option and exporting licenses from a device, more than one license file must be exported. Therefore, if a file name is provided, an index is appended to the end of the file name such as LicenseFile0.xml, LicenseFile1.xml, and so on. In this case, the device is an embedded CMC:
racadm license export -u root -p <default root user password> -f LicenseFile.xml -l //192.168.2.140/ licshare -c cmc.embedded.1
Delete a license:
– Delete licenses on a particular device. For example. Embedded CMC:
racadm license delete -c cmc.embedded.1
– Delete license using an entitlement ID. For example, xYZabcdefg
racadm license delete -e xYZabcdefg
– Delete license using a transaction ID. For example, 2.
racadm license delete -t 2
Replace a license.
– Replace the license on a device with a license file that is located on
an NFS share, and using a transaction ID. For example, transaction 27.
racadm license replace -f License.xml -l
192.168.2.140:/licshare -t 27
– Replace license on a device with a license file that is located on a
CIFS share and using a transaction ID. For example, transaction 27.
racadm license replace -u admin -p passwd -f License.xml -l //192.168.2.140/licshare -t 27

CMC Property Database Group and Object Descriptions

The CMC property database contains the configuration information for CMC. Data is organized by associated object, and objects are organized by object group. The IDs for the groups and objects that the property database supports are listed in this section for CMC.
Use the group and object IDs with the RACADM subcommands to configure CMC.
NOTE: RACADM sets the value of objects without performing any functional validation on them. For example, RACADM allows you to set the Certificate Validation object to 1 with the Active Directory object set to 0, even though Certificate Validation can happen only if Active Directory is enabled. Similarly, the cfgADSSOEnable object can be set to 0 or 1 even if the cfgADEnable object is 0, but it takes effect only if Active Directory is enabled.
All string values are limited to displayable ASCII characters, except where otherwise noted.
