Release summary
|
|
==========================================================================================
|
|
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make server administrators
|
|
more productive and improve the overall availability of Dell servers.
|
|
|
|
iDRAC alerts administrators to server issues, helps them perform remote server management, and
|
|
reduces the need for physical access to the server. Additionally, iDRAC enables administrators
|
|
to deploy, monitor, manage, configure, update, and troubleshoot Dell servers from any location
|
|
without using any agents. It accomplishes this regardless of the operating system or hypervisor
|
|
presence or state.
|
|
|
|
iDRAC provides out-of-band mechanisms for configuring the server, applying firmware updates,
|
|
saving or restoring a system backup, or deploying an operating system, by using the iDRAC GUI, the
|
|
iDRAC RESTful API or the RACADM command line interface.
|
|
|
|
This release of the RACADM command line interface includes updated packaging supporting
|
|
the installation of both local and remote RACADM and fixes to issues documented below.

Compatibility
|
|
==========================================================================================
|
|
For SLES 15 systems, the HAPI RPM has a dependency on the 'insserv-compact' OS package.
|
|
To ensure backward compatibility, HAPI still uses System V init scripts and has this
|
|
dependency. Install this package before installing RACADM.

|
|
Installation
|
|
==========================================================================================
|
|
RACADM:
|
|
1. Navigate to the directory where the tar.gz of iDRACTools is downloaded.
|
|
2. Run tar -zxvf on the tar.gz to unzip the contents into the current directory.
|
|
3. Inside the folder where you extracted the files, navigate to /linux/rac folder.
|
|
4. To install the RACADM binary, execute the script install_racadm.sh.
|
|
|
|
Note: Open a new console window to run the RACADM commands. You cannot execute RACADM
|
|
commands from the console window using which you executed the install_racadm.sh script.
|
|
|
|
If you get an SSL error message for remote RACADM, use the following steps to
|
|
resolve the error:
|
|
a. Run the command 'openssl version' to find the openssl version installed in the Host OS.
|
|
b. Locate the openSSL libraries that are present in the HOST OS.
|
|
Example: ls -l /usr/lib64/libssl*
|
|
c. Soft-link the library libssl.so using ln -s command to the appropriate OpenSSL
|
|
version present in the Host OS.
|
|
Example: ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so.<version> /usr/lib64/libssl.so
|
|
|
|
To uninstall RACADM, use the 'uninstall_racadm.sh' script.
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
• RACADM and its specific RPMS/Debians can be installed without requiring the installation of OMSA components.
|
|
• The installed RACADM binary can be used to execute both Local RACADM and Remote RACADM commands.
|
|
• The install_racadm.sh installs only the RPMS/Debians required for RACADM (srvadmin-argtable2, srvadmin-idracadm7, srvadmin-hapi).
|
|
• If the RPM's files are installed directly without the script, the path will not be set to the RPM files once the host is logged out leads to Racadm command failure.
|
|
• In case of UBUNTU installation, install_racadm.sh and uninstall_racadm.sh scripts has to run using bash as below:
|
|
bash ./install_racadm.sh
|
|
bash ./uninstall_racadm.sh
|
|
$PATH information will differ between host and SSH login.
|
|
|
|

|
|
To install the latest version of RAC Tools, do the following:
|
|
1 Uninstall the existing IPMI tool:
|
|
