You can use RACADM to configure the Login lockout policy attributes for the following features:
• User blocking
• IP address blocking
• Number of login attempts allowed
• Timespan for the lockout failure counts to occur
• Lockout penalty time
• To enable user blocking feature, use:
racadm config -g cfgRacTuning -o cfgRacTuneUserBlkEnable <0|1>
• To enable IP blocking feature, use:
racadm config –g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneIPBlkEnable <0|1>
• To specify the number of login attempts, use:
racadm config –g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneIpBlkFailCount
• To specify the time span within which, lockout fail count failures must occur, use:
racadm config –g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneIpBlkFailWindow
• To specify value for lockout penalty time, use:
racadm config –g cfgRacTuning –o cfgRacTuneIpBlkPenaltyTime

Understanding Redundant CMC Environment
You can install a standby CMC that takes over if your active CMC stops functioning. The redundant CMC
may be pre-installed or can be installed later. To make sure full redundancy or best performance, it is
important that the CMC network is properly cabled.
Failovers can occur when you:
• Run the RACADM cmcchangeover command. See the cmcchangeover command section in the
Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide
available at dell.com/support/manuals.
• Run the RACADM racreset command on the active CMC. See the racreset command section in
the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide
available at dell.com/support/manuals..
• Reset the active CMC from web interface. See the Reset CMC option for Power Control Operations
that is described in Executing Power Control Operations.
