Description Executes a power action on the chassis, iKVM, or a server.
Table 2-1. chassisaction Subcommand Options (continued) Option Description Specifies the action you want to execute on the specified module. may be one of the following: • powerdown — (Chassis only) Powers down the chassis. • powerup — (Chassis only) Powers up the chassis. • powercycle — Power cycles the module. • nongraceshutdown — (Chassis only) Shutdown the chassis non-gracefully. • reset — Performs a hard reset of the module.
clrsel NOTE: To use this subcommand, you must have Clear Logs Administrator privilege. Description Removes all existing records from the system events log (SEL, or hardware log). A new log entry is added to record the date and time when the log was cleared, and the user who cleared the log. NOTE: To view the hardware log, use getsel. For information about the hardware log, see the "Viewing the Hardware Log" section of the CMC User’s Guide.
connect NOTE: To use this subcommand, you must have Administrator privilege. Description The connect command is used to redirect the serial console of server or I/O modules. NOTE: The connect command is only available from the serial/Telnet/SSH console, and not through the remote racadm. NOTE: If an IOM switch does not support console redirection, the connect command displays an empty console. To return to the CMC console, enter the escape sequence; the default console escape sequence is \.
• racadm connect switch-a1 • racadm connect switch-1 config NOTE: To use this subcommand, you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

Description Verifies proper SD card installation and displays SD card status. The table below lists the status messages returned by the command. Table 2-7. Status Messages Returned by featurecard -s Command Status Message Actions No feature card inserted. Check the CMC to verify that the SD card was properly inserted. In a redundant CMC configuration, make sure the CMC with the SD feature card installed is the active CMC and not the standby CMC.
Example racadm featurecard -s • racadm featurecard -s The feature card inserted is valid and contains the following feature(s) FlexAddress: The feature card is bound to this chassis fwupdate NOTE: To use this subcommand, you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege. Description Updates the firmware on the iKVM, primary CMC, the standby CMC if present, the server iDRACs, and the IOM infrastructure device. Also performs updates to iDRAC firmware when the existing firmware is corrupted.
Table 2-9. fwupdate Subcommand Options Option Description -d Specifies the source path where the firmware image resides. If you do not use the -g option, CMC uses the TFTP default directory path on the host for the file. If the -g option is used, defaults to the directory configured on the TFTP server -g Downloads the firmware update using the TFTP server. -u Performs firmware update operation (used with -g).

Table 2-12 lists the property groups that can be specified with the getconfig subcommand -g option. Table 2-12. Property Groups for the getconfig Subcommand Property Group Description idRacInfo (read only) Displays version, build number, and product information for the CMC. cfgLanNetworking Configures network related properties. cfgCurrentLanNetworking (read only) Displays the current CMC NIC properties. cfgRemoteHosts Enables/disables and configures firmware updates and SMTP email alerting.
Output This subcommand generates error output upon encountering either of the following: • Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or other invalid database members • RACADM CLI transport failures If errors are not encountered, this subcommand displays the contents of the specified configuration. Examples: • racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking Displays all of the configuration properties (objects) that are contained in the group cfgLanNetworking (see "cfgLanNetworking" on page 95).
NOTE: Fabric verification for server DCs is performed only when the chassis is powered on. When the chassis is on standby power, the iDRACs on the server modules remain powered off and thus are unable to report the server's DC fabric type. The DC fabric type may not be reported in the CMC user interface until the iDRAC on the server is powered on. Usage racadm getdcinfo NOTE: The example output below is for a system with multi-slot servers.
