Introduction  
This document provides information about the RACADM subcommands,  
supported RACADM interfaces, and property database groups and object  
definitions for the following:  
iDRAC6 Enterprise on Blade Servers  
iDRAC6 Enterprise or Express on Rack and Tower Servers  
Dell Chassis Management Controller (CMC)  
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.  
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  
Introduction  
23  
     
RACADM Syntax Usage  
The following section describes the syntax usage for local, SSH/Telnet, and  
Remote RACADM.  
Local RACADM  
racadm getconfig -g <groupname> [-o <objectname>] [-i  
<indexnumber>]  
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 -r -u -p <subcommand>  
Example  
racadm -r -u -p getconfig -g idracinfo  
racadm -r -u -p getsysinfo

Introduction  
       
RACADM Command Options  
Table 1-1 lists the options for the RACADM command.  
Table 1-1. RACADM Command Options  
Option  
Description  
-r <racIpAddr>  
Specifies the controller’s remote IP address.  
-r <racIpAddr>:<port  
number>  
Use:<port number> if the iDRAC6 port number is not  
the default port (443)  
-u <usrName>  
Specifies the user name that is used to authenticate  
the command transaction. If the -u option is used, the  
-p option must be used, and the -i option (interactive)  
is not allowed.  
-p <password>  
Specifies the password used to authenticate the  
command transaction. If the -p option is used, the -i  
option is not allowed.  
-S  
Specifies that RACADM should check for invalid  
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.  
Specifies the object name if applicable.  
-o <objectname>  
Table 1-2 provides the supported RACADM interfaces for iDRAC6  
Enterprise and iDRAC6 Express.

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  
33  
       
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).  
"?" and "? <subcommand>"  
NOTE: To use this subcommand, you must have CMC Login User privilege.

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.

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".

Table 2-13. getconfig Subcommand Options  
Option Description  
-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  
-u  
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.  
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.

Subcommand  
Description  
getdcinfo  
Displays general I/O module and daughter card configuration  
information.  
NOTE: Fabric verification for server DCs is performed only when the chassis is  
powered on. When the chassis is on standby power, iDRACs on the server modules  
remain powered 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 powered on.

racresetcfg  
NOTE: To use this subcommand, you must have Configure iDRAC permission.  
Subcommand Description  
racresetcfg  
Removes all user-configured database property entries. The database  
has default properties for all entries that are used to restore iDRAC6  
to the default settings. After resetting the database properties,  
iDRAC6 resets automatically.  
NOTE: The racresetcfg subcommand does not reset the cfgDNSRacName object.  
NOTE: This command deletes your current iDRAC6 configuration and resets  
iDRAC6 and serial configuration to the default settings. After reset, the default name  
and password is root and calvin, respectively, and the IP address is 192.168.0.120.  
Only for iDRAC6 Enterprise on Blade servers, it is IP address plus the number of the  
slot the server inhabits in the chassis. If you issue racresetcfg from a network client  
(for example, a supported Web browser, Telnet/ssh, or remote RACADM), you must  
use the default IP address.  
NOTE: Certain iDRAC6 firmware processes need to be stopped and restarted for  
reset to defaults to complete. iDRAC6 becomes unresponsive for about 30 seconds  
while this operation completes.

iDRAC6 and CMC Property  
Database Group and Object  
Descriptions  
The iDRAC6 and CMC property database contains the configuration  
information for iDRAC6 and 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 iDRAC6  
Enterprise on Blade Servers, iDRAC6 Enterprise or Express on Rack and  
Tower Servers and CMC.  
Use the group and object IDs with the RACADM subcommands to configure  
iDRAC6 and CMC.  
Table 3-1 provides an overview of the object groups applicable for iDRAC6  
Enterprise on Blade Servers, iDRAC6 on Rack and Tower Servers and CMC.  
CAUTION: 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.

RAC on the host server. This mode enables  
configurations to use the same IP address on the host  
server and the RAC for common accessibility on the  
network.  
Shared with Failover:

Table 3-2. cfgNicSelection Supported Modes (continued)  
Mode  
Description  
Shared with Failover All Enables teaming capabilities between all LOMs on the  
LOMs  
host server integrated network interface controllers.  
The remote access device network interface is fully  
functional when the host operating system is configured  
for NIC teaming. The remote access device receives data  
through NIC 1 and NIC 2, but transmits data only  
through NIC 1.  
Failover occurs from NIC 2 to NIC 3 and then to NIC 4.  
If NIC 4 fails, the remote access device fails over all data  
transmission back to NIC 1, but only if the original NIC  
1 failure has been corrected.

This group provides configuration information about the users who are  
allowed to access iDRAC6 or CMC through the available remote interfaces.  
Up to 16 instances of the user group are allowed. Each instance represents the  
configuration for an individual user.  
NOTE: In the current CMC firmware version, the objects cfgUserAdminEnable and  
cfgUserAdminPrivilege are interrelated; changing the value of one property causes  
the value of the other property to change. For example, if a user does not have login  
privilege, the user is disabled by default. When you enable the user by changing the  
value of UserAdminEnable to 1, the right most digit of the UserAdminPrivilege also  
becomes 1. On the other hand, if you change the right most digit of the  
UserAdminPrivilege to 0, the value of UserAdminEnable becomes 0.  
NOTE: Use this object with the config or getconfig subcommands. You must supply  
an index group number to use these commands as follows: -i <index group>  
NOTE: To use this object property for CMC, you must have Chassis Configuration

Deprecated Commands, Groups,  
and Objects  
This section provides information about the deprecated RACADM  
subcommands, groups, and objects in the current release. Few commands,  
groups, or objects are deprecated in RACADM either due to a new command  
or object replacing the functionality of an existing command or object, or the  
feature is no longer supported.  
For the deprecated command or object:  
If you run the racadm helpcommand, the deprecated command is not  
displayed in the command list.  
If you run the racadm help <deprecated command name>, then  
the following information is displayed:  
ATTENTION: <command name> is a deprecated command!  
While execution of this command will still be  
successful we strongly encourage you to use the  
new functionality.  
The functionality of this command is now covered  
by <list of new functionality>.  
Type “racadm help <new command name>” to learn  
more.  
NOTE: This information is displayed only for iDRAC6 on Rack and Tower servers  
and is not displayed for iDRAC6 Enterprise on Blade servers.  
If you run a deprecated command, it works if the feature is supported. If  
the feature is not supported, an error is not returned.  
If you run the racadm getconfig –hcommand, the deprecated  
group is not displayed in the results.
