Dell manual Vmcli Parameters, IDRAC6 IP Address, IDRAC6 User Name, 244

The VMCLI command format is as follows:

VMCLI [parameter] [operating_system_shell_options]

Command-line syntax is case-sensitive. See "VMCLI Parameters" on page 244 for more information.

If the remote system accepts the commands and the iDRAC6 authorizes the connection, the command continues to run until either of the following occurs:

•The VMCLI connection terminates for any reason.

•The process is manually terminated using an operating system control. For example, in Windows, you can use the Task Manager to terminate the process.

VMCLI Parameters

iDRAC6 IP Address

-r <iDRAC-IP-address[:iDRAC-SSL-port]>

This parameter provides the iDRAC6 IPv4 or IPv6 address and SSL port, which the utility needs to establish a Virtual Media connection with the target iDRAC6. If you enter an invalid IPv4 or IPv6 address or DDNS name, an error message is displayed and the command is terminated.

<iDRAC-IP-address> is a valid, unique IPv4 or IPv6 address or the iDRAC6 Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS) name (if supported).

If <iDRAC-SSL-port> is omitted, port 443 (the default port) is used. The optional SSL port is not required unless you change the iDRAC6 default SSL port.

iDRAC6 User Name

-u<iDRAC-user>

This parameter provides the iDRAC6 user name that will run Virtual Media. The <iDRAC-user> must have the following attributes:

•Valid user name

•iDRAC6 Virtual Media User permission

If iDRAC6 authentication fails, an error message is displayed and the command is terminated.
