Introduction
This document provides information about the RACADM subcommands, supported RACADM interfaces, and property
database groups and object definitions for the following:
iDRAC Enterprise or Express for Blade Servers
iDRAC Enterprise or Express on Rack and Tower Servers
Dell Chassis System (CMC)
Installing Racadm
For information on installing and unistalling RACADM, see the
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide
at support.dell.com/manuals.
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. Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to iDRAC7
using SSH or telnet. You do not have to specify the iDRAC7 IP, user name or password to run Firmware RACADM
commands. Similar to Local RACADM, after you enter the RACADM promt, directly run the commands without
the RACADM prefix.
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 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."
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>
17
Example
racadm getconfig -g idracinfo
racadm getsysinfo
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 -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
RACADM Command Options
Table 11 lists the options for the RACADM command.
Option Description
-r
<racIpAddr>
-r
racIpAddr
:
<port number>
Specifies the controller’s remote IP address.
Use:
<port number>
if the iDRAC 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.
18
Option Description
-o
objectname
Specifies the object name if applicable.
The following table provides the supported RACADM interfaces for iDRAC Enterprise and iDRAC Express.
iDRAC Type Local RACADM SSH/Telnet RACADM Remote RACADM
iDRAC Enterprise Yes Yes Yes
iDRAC Express Yes Yes Yes
CMC No Yes Yes
NOTE: Multiple instances of remote RACADM can be executed on a management station, while only one instance
of local RACADM can be executed on a managed node.

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.
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.
25
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).

Update iDRAC or CMC firmware from a FTP or a TFTP server by providing an IP
address and optional path.
Update iDRAC or CMC firmware from the local file system using Local and
Remote RACADM.
Rollback to the standby firmware.
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.
To use this subcommand for CMC you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator
privilege and for iDRAC you must have Configure iDRAC permission.
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.
NOTE: The fwupdate subcommand generates an error when used on the extension
slot of a multi-slot server.
Synopsis For iDRAC:
racadm fwupdate -s
racadm fwupdate -g -u -a <TFTP_Server_IP_Address>
[-d <path>]
racadm -r <iDRAC7 IP_Address> -u <username> -p <password>
fwupdate -f <ftpserver ip> <ftpserver username>
<ftpserver password> -d <path> where path is the location
on the ftp server where firming.d7 is stored.
racadm fwupdate -r
racadm fwupdate -p -u [-d <path>]
For CMC:

racadm fwupdate -u -m iominf-<n>
racadm fwupdate -s [-m <module>]
racadm fwupdate -c [-m <module>]
36
For 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: 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 -u — For iDRAC: The 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, iDRAC performs a soft reset.
For CMC: Performs the firmware update operation.
-s— For iDRAC: The status option returns the current status of where you are
in the update process. This option is always used by itself. Lists active SD card
features and SD card status.
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 value all can only be used to obtain the status of all targets to be
updated.
-g — For iDRAC: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 iDRAC’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, it defaults to a directory configured on the TFTP server.
-p — For iDRAC: The -p, or put, option is used to update the firmware file from
the managed system to iDRAC. The -u option must be used with the -p option.
NOTE: This option is not applicable for CMC. The -p option is supported on local and
remote RACADM and is not supported with the serial/Telnet/ssh console and on
Linux operating systems.
-r — The rollback option is used to rollback to the standby firmware.
This option is not applicable for CMC.

x
= a,b,c,d
— server-generation where generation = iDRAC or iDRAC6 only.
— iominf-n where n = 1–6
NOTE: iDRAC7 targets are not supported from CMC. Use the CMC GUI to update
iDRAC7 targets from CMC.
CMC version 3.00 accepts IPv4, IPv6, or fully qualified domain names (FQDN) for both
FTP and TFTP servers.
NOTE: You can specify the cmc-active and cmc-standby modules at the same time
along with one or more server-n modules. This enables the devices to be updated
together. This option is applicable only for CMC.
When you use the server-generation option, the CMC updates all iDRACs of that
particular generation that can be updated.
NOTE: Verify that the update applied to servers for a particular generation has been
validated for all impacted server models.

Synopsis 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]
Input -f — The -f
<filename>
option directs getconfig to
write the entire iDRAC 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
remember 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
41
If errors are not encountered, this subcommand displays
the contents of the specified configuration.
Example racadm getconfig -g
cfgLanNetworking
Displays all of the configuration properties
(objects) that are contained in the group
cfgLanNetworking.
racadm getconfig -f myrac.cfg
Saves all group configuration objects from iDRAC
to myrac.cfg.
racadm getconfig -h
Displays a list of the available configuration
groups on iDRAC in an alphabetical order.
racadm getconfig -u root
Displays the configuration properties for the user
named root.
racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin
-i 2 -v
Displays the user group instance at index 2 with
verbose information for the property values.
getdcinfo
Description Displays general I/O module and daughter card configuration information. Only the
CMC controls daughtercards.
To use this subcommand, you must have CMC Login User privilege.
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.
Synopsis racadm getdcinfo
Input -n — Displays the model names for the daughter cards in servers.
Example
The example output below is for a system with multi-slot servers.

iDRAC and CMC Property Database Group and
Object Descriptions
The iDRAC and CMC property database contains the configuration information for iDRAC 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 iDRAC Enterprise on Blade Servers, iDRAC Enterprise or Express on Rack
and Tower Servers and CMC.
Use the group and object IDs with the RACADM subcommands to configure iDRAC and CMC.
NOTE: You can configure any setting that is not preceded by the hash sign (#) in the output. To modify a
configurable object, use the -o option.
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.
Displayable Characters
Displayable characters include the following set:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxwz
