Using the racadm CLI Remotely

NOTICE: Configure the IP address on your DRAC 4 before using the racadm remote capability. For more information about initially configuring your DRAC 4, including a list of other documents you may need, see "Installing and Setting Up the DRAC 4."

The racadm CLI provides a remote capability option (-r) that allows you to connect to the managed system and execute racadm subcommands from a remote console or management station.

To use the remote capability, you need a valid user name (-uoption) and password (-poption), and the IP address of the managed system.

NOTE: The racadm remote capability is supported only on management stations running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Server™ 2003, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems.
