RACADM Proxy

Description

On the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s systems, you can manage the compute sleds and CMC using the iDRAC’s RACADM Proxy feature that redirects commands from iDRAC to CMC. You can return the CMC response to local or remote RACADM.to access the CMC configuration and reporting features without placing the CMC on the management network. The CMC configuration commands are supported through local proxy when local configuration is enabled on iDRAC.

  • NOTE: Local racadm and local racadm proxy runs with root user privilege.
Synopsis

Local RACADM proxy usage

racadm <CMC racadm subcommand> --proxy

Remote RACADM proxy usage

racadm <CMC racadm subcommand> -u <username> -p <password> -r <idrac-ip connected to cmc> --proxy
  • NOTE:
    • The attribute racadm getconfig -g cfgractuning -o cfgRacTuneChassisMgmtAtServer must be set as non-zero in CMC.
    • The attribute racadm get system.ChassisControl.ChassisManagementMonitoring attribute must be enabled in iDRAC.
    • --proxy must be entered at the end of the command.
    • The root privilege is the default privilege for Local RACADM proxy.
    • The user privilege in the Remote RACADM proxy for CMC maps to iDRAC privilege.

    • When CMC is not placed on the network, the import, export, and file operation commands to CIFS, NFS, or FTP will fail.
    • When the Remote or Local RACADM Proxy operation is in progress, if the iDRAC is reset, then the Proxy operation fails and the output is not displayed in Remote or Local RACADM.
    • When racadm getsystem.ChassisControl.ChassisManagementMonitoring attribute is set to monitor, all the users including root users can only view the attribute.

      To configure, set the attribute to monitor and manage in CMC.
