Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to remotely congure your Chassis Management Controller (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 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.

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 rst character of the string, regardless of whether the string is quoted.
There are dierent 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)
` (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.
18
A single quotation mark cannot be used even with a backslash escaped.
NOTE: An empty string may be specied as either "" (using double quotation marks) or '' (using single quotation mark).

Synopsis
Input
Output This subcommand generates error output for any of the following reasons:
racadm config [-c|-p] -f <filename>
racadm config -g <groupName> -o <objectName> [-i <
index>] <Value>
NOTE: The conguration le retrieved using remote racadm are not interoperable. For the cong -f <
le name
NOTE: The -f and -p options are not supported for the serial/Telnet/SSH console.
-f — The -f <lename> option causes cong to read the contents of the le specied by <lename> and congure CMC.
-p— This option must be used with the -f option. It directs cong to delete the password entries contained in the cong le -f <lename> after the conguration is complete.
To apply the password, you must remove the preceding Read-Only marker '#' in the cong le before executing the cong -f command.
-g— The -g <groupName>, or group option, must be used with the -o option. The <groupName> species the group containing the object that is to be set.
-o — The -o <objectName> <Value>, or object option, must be used with the -g option. This option species the object name that is written with the string <value>.
-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 specied, a value of 1 is assumed for groups, which are tables that have multiple entries. The index is specied by the index value, not a named value.
-c — The -c, or check option, is used with the cong subcommand and allows the user to parse the .cfg le to locate syntax errors. If issues are found, the line number and a short description about the issue is displayed. This option is a check-only.
> command, use the conguration le retrieved from the same interface.
Examples
26
Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or other invalid database members.
RACADM CLI failures.
This subcommand returns an indication of the number of conguration objects that were written out of the total objects in the .cfg le.
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress 192.168.0.5. Sets the cfgNicIpAddress conguration parameter (object) to the value 192.168.0.5. This IP address
object is contained in the cfgLanNetworking group.
racadm config -f myrac.cfg.
Congures or recongures CMC. The myrac.cfg le may be created from the getcong command. This le may also be edited manually as long as the parsing rules are followed.
NOTE: The myrac.cfg le does not contain passwords. To include passwords in the le, you must enter them manually. If you want to remove password information from the myrac.cfg le during conguration, use the -p option.
