RACADM CLI is the command line user interface to the DRAC. You can remotely connect to the DRAC hardware and access the DRAC features either by using a web browser or the RACADM Command Line Interface (CLI).
The Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) console is management station software designed to provide remote management capabilities for the Dell systems. Kudos to Jeremy Moreira for this informationĭRAC Tools, includes Racadm (32bit), v7.1: Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSDomainName Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSRacName ServerName-DRAC Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer2 172.17.0.5 Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer1 172.17.0.6 Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicGateway 172.17.0.7 Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicNetmask 255.255.252.0 Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress 172.17.2.124 When installed on the machine you want to configure, Racadm allows a Systems Administrator to modify the iDRAC settings from a command-line without requiring a reboot. We did find a solution to all of this with the installation of Dell DRAC Tools which includes a command line tool called Racadm. However this would require a drive out the data center, and the additional maintenance window outage.
One option is to reboot the server, boot into BIOS, and configure the iDRAC while in front of the machine. We came across a server that had a mis-configured iDRAC card which prevented managing it remotely or to run hardware diagnostics. Having recently taken over an existing site, we’re in the process of conducting various house cleaning efforts.
