As you might know, it stands for\u00a0Dell Remote Access Card. Working on Dell servers, this tool could be very handy if you are working with hundreds to thousands of server in a day. Here I will share few important and commonly use DRAC CLI commands:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. racadm get\u00a0BIOS.BiosBootSettings.bootseq<\/span> \u00a0\u21d2 Gets you the boot sequence<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. racadm set\u00a0BIOS.BiosBootSettings.bootseq\u00a0HardDisk.List.1-1,NIC.Integrated.1-1-1<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2 Set\u00a0boot sequence as per your requirement. In this example,\u00a0HDD then NIC is set.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. racadm get\u00a0iDRAC.ServerBoot.FirstBootDevice<\/span> \u21d2 Shows you the next boot device. If you want to boot via Network for one time(say for installation purpose), and subsequently you want to boot normally i.e., HDD, then you can use this option. Check the next command for this.<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. \n

    racdm set\u00a0iDRAC.ServerBoot.FirstBootDevice\u00a0PXE<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2 Sets to PXE mode for next boot<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    racadm\u00a0serveraction\u00a0powercycle<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2 Restarts your server. Also helpful to apply any pending jobs.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. racadm\u00a0raid get vdisks<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2 Gets all the Virtual Disks(raided)<\/em><\/li>\n
  7. racadm raid get pdisks<\/span> \u21d2 Gets all the Physical Disks<\/em><\/li>\n
  8. racadm raid\u00a0get pdisks -o<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2\u00a0Gets all the Physical Disks with additional information<\/em><\/li>\n
  9. racadm\u00a0raid clearconfig:RAID.Integrated.1-1\u00a0<\/span>\u21d2 Clears\/resets all RAID configurations(PERC)<\/em><\/li>\n
  10. racadm jobqueue view<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2 Lists all jobs<\/li>\n
  11. racadm\u00a0jobqueue create RAID.Integrated.1-1<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2 Lets you create job under RAID category<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you are handling scale of thousands of servers, setting up servers could be painful and time consuming. One of the easy method that I would suggest is setup one server properly and once done, import its DRAC setting in XML file and apply on other servers(iDRAC templates<\/a>). Check out the following commands:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. racadm get -t xml -f server-1.xml -l 10.10.10.2:\/srv\/configs\u00a0<\/span>\u21d2 Will import all DRAC settings in\u00a0server-1.xml file and put it in a NFS location provided by -l option<\/em><\/li>\n
    2. racadm set\u00a0-t xml -f server-1.xml -l 10.10.10.2:\/srv\/configs<\/span>\u00a0\u21d2 Apply the template\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
