Remote RACADM fails to connect to iDRAC from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1.
Make sure that the official openssl and libopenssl versions are installed. Run the following command to
install the RPM packages:
rpm -ivh --force < filename >
where, filename is the openssl or libopenssl rpm package file.
For example:
rpm -ivh --force openssl-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh --force libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
Why are the remote RACADM and Web-based services unavailable after a property change?
It may take a while for the remote RACADM services and the Web-based interface to become available
after the iDRAC Web server resets.
The iDRAC Web server is reset when:
The network configuration or network security properties are changed using the iDRAC Web user
interface.
The cfgRacTuneHttpsPort property is changed (including when a config -f (config
file)changes it).
The racresetcfg command is used.
iDRAC is reset.
A new SSL server certificate is uploaded.
Why is an error message displayed if you try to delete a partition after creating it using local RACADM?
This occurs because the create partition operation is in-progress. However, the partition is deleted after
sometime and a message that the partition is deleted is displayed. If not, wait until the create partition
operation is completed and then delete the partition.

How to find an iDRAC IP address for a blade server?
You can find the iDRAC IP address using any of the following methods:
Using CMC Web interface: Go to ChassisServersSetupDeploy and in the displayed table, view
the IP address for the server.
Using the Virtual Console: Reboot the server to view the iDRAC IP address during POST. Select the "Dell
CMC" console in the OSCAR to log in to CMC through a local serial connection. CMC RACADM
commands can be sent from this connection. See the iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line Interface
Reference Guide for a complete list of CMC RACADM subcommands.
From local RACADM, Use the command: racadm getsysinfo For example:
$ racadm getniccfg -m server-1
DHCP Enabled = 1
