Using the racadm Utility to Configure the DRAC 4

The DRAC 4 Web-based interface is the fastest way to configure a DRAC 4. If you prefer command line or script configuration, or need to configure multiple DRAC 4s, you can also use the racadm CLI. The racadm CLI is installed along with the DRAC 4 agents on the managed system.

To configure multiple DRAC 4s to contain the same user configuration settings, you can do either of the following:

Use the racadm CLI examples in this section as a guide to create a batch file of racadm commands, and then execute the batch file on each managed system.

Create the DRAC 4 configuration file as described in "racadm Subcommand Man Pages" and then execute the racadm config subcommand on each managed system using that same configuration file.
