Supported RACADM Interfaces

The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to locally or 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.
Introduction 25
The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:
Local — Supports executing RACADM commands from the managed server’s operating system. You must install the OpenManage software on the managed server to run local racadm commands. Only one instance of local RACADM can be executed on a system at a time. If the user tries to open another instance, an error message is displayed and the second instance of local RACADM closes immediately.
SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware racadm. Supports executing RACADM commands from a SSH or Telnet session to iDRAC.
Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop computer. You must install the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run remote RACADM commands. To execute remote RACADM commands, you must formulate the command like a local or SSH/Telnet RACADM command except that you must also use the –r –i options or the –r –u –p options. For more information on these options, see the "RACADM Subcommand Details" on page 37.

RACADM Syntax Usage

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

racadm <subcommand>
Example
racadm getconfig -g idracinfo
racadm getsysinfo

SSH/Telnet RACADM
racadm getconfig -g <groupname> [-o <objectname>] [-i <indexnumber>]
racadm <subcommand>
Example
racadm getconfig -g idracinfo
racadm getsysinfo
Remote RACADM
racadm -r -u -p getconfig -g <groupname> [-o <objectname>] [-i <indexnumber>]

RACADM Subcommand Details

This section provides detailed descriptions of 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 quotes or double quotes:
$ (dollar sign)
•" (double quote)
•' (single quote)
•` (back quote)
•\ (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.
RACADM Subcommand Details 37
There are different escaping rules for single quoting versus double quoting.
For double quoting:
The following characters must be escaped by prepending a backslash:
$ (dollar sign)
" (double quote)
' (single quote)
•` (back quote)
•\ (backslash)
For example, use the following for a string that contains the special characters, $, ",',`and \
For single quoting:
No character escaping is necessary.
A single quote cannot be used even with a backslash escaped.
NOTE: An empty string may be specified as either "" (using double quotes) or ''
(using single quotes).

-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.
-c The -c, or check option, is used with the config subcommand and allows the user to parse the .cfg file to locate syntax errors. If errors are found, the line number and a short description of what is incorrect are displayed. Writes do not occur to iDRAC6. This option is a check only.

RACADM Subcommand Details 57

fwupdate

NOTE: To use this subcommand for CMC you must have Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege and for iDRAC you must have Configure iDRAC6 permission.
Subcommand Description
fwupdate Allows you to update the firmware on the iKVM, active CMC,
standby CMC, server iDRACs, or an IOM infrastructure device. You can:
• Check the firmware update process status.
• Update iDRAC6 or CMC firmware from a TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional path.
• Update iDRAC6 or CMC firmware from the local file system using local RACADM.
• Rollback to the standby firmware.
Table 2-9 describes the fwupdate subcommand options.
Table 2-9. fwupdate Subcommand Options
Option Description
-s Lists active SD card features and SD card status.
NOTE: This subcommand performs updates to the iDRAC firmware (if CMC
firmware version is 2.0 or later and iDRAC firmware version is 1.4) when the existing firmware is corrupted. 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.
Before you begin your firmware update, see the Advanced iDRAC6 Configuration section in the iDRAC6 User’s Guide available on the Dell
Support website at support.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE: Running the fwupdate subcommand to update the firmware on the active
CMC resets itself causing all network connections to be dropped. During update of all other modules, including the standby CMC, the active CMC continues to run normally without resetting.

racadm fwupdate -c [-m <module>]
RACADM Subcommand Details 59
For remote RACAD M:
racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <firmware image>
NOTE: 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: When attempting to run firmware update task using "racadm fwupdate"
command, if the firmware image path length is greater than 64 characters, remote RACADM client exits with the error message "ERROR: Specified path is too long".
Input
Table 2-11 describes the fwupdate subcommand options.
NOTE: The -p option is supported on local and remote RACADM and is not
supported with the serial/Telnet/ssh console. The -p option is also not supported on Linux operating systems.
Table 2-11 describes the fwupdate subcommand options.
Table 2-11. fwupdate Subcommand Options
Option Description
-u For iDRA C : T h e update option performs a checksum of the firmware update file and starts the actual update process. This option may be used along with the
-g or -p options. At the end of the update, iDRAC6 performs a soft reset.
For CMC: Performs the firmware update operation.
-s For iDRA C : T h e status option returns the current status of where you are in the update process. This option is always used by itself.
For CMC: Displays the current status of the firmware update.
NOTE: Use -m to display the status of the module update. Omit -m to display
the status of the active CMC update.
NOTE: The all value can only be used to obtain the status of all targets to be
updated.
60 RACADM Subcommand Details
Table 2-11. fwupdate Subcommand Options
Option Description
-g The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file from the TFTP server. You must also specify the -a, -u, and -d options. In the absence of the -a option, the defaults are read from properties contained in the group cfgRemoteHosts, using properties cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.
For CMC: Downloads the firmware update using the TFTP server.
-a The IP Address option specifies the TFTP server IP address, used with -g option.
For CMC: Specifies the TFTP server IP address or FQDN used for the firmware image (used with -g).
-d For iDRAC: The -d, or directory, option specifies the directory on the TFTP server or on iDRAC6’s host server where the firmware update file resides.
For CMC: Specifies the source path where the firmware image resides.
Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the file if -g option is absent. If -g is used, defaults to directory configured on the TFTP server.
-p For i DRAC: The -p, or put, option is used to update the firmware file from the managed system to iDRAC6. The -u option must be used with the -p option.
