RacAdmin Quick and dirty cheatsheet
iDRAC racadm quick and dirty cheatsheet. racadm command can be issues via iDRAC/CMC/OS if svradmin-racadm is installed. Also you can specify -h option to access remote servers RAC as long as you have network access. Also if you are having problems with racadm “Failed to initialize transport” install openssl-devel. full documentation for iDRAC7 can be found here.
% Get all iDRAC settings in a file
racadm get -f config.txt
If you like you can change the contents of config.txt and apply it back to iDRAC
racadm set -f config.txt
% Set password for root user
racadm set iDRAC.Users.2.Password PASSWORD"
% List all ssh keys for root user
racadm sshpkauth -i 2 -v -k all
% Add ssh key to root user
racadm sshpkauth -i 2 -k 1 "CONTENTS OF PUBLIC KEY"
% Delete ssh key for root user
racadm sshpkauth -i 2 -d -k 1
% Get iDRAC IP config
racadm getniccfg
racadm get iDRAC.NIC

Using config command:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicEnable 1
