RACADM on m1000e chassis vs m620

Hey John,

I don't know much about the m1000e but your problem may concern an older idrac version.

Dell changed the syntax of the racadm command with iDRAC7.

The groups and attributes are named differend as also the set/get command.

i've tried it on a system on our location with an iDRAC6.

the Paltform eventFilters group used to be called "cfgIpmiPef" as far as i know, so can you try this on your system?

< racadm config -g cfgIpmiPef -o cfgIpmiPefEnable 1 -i 2 >

where the "-o" stands for the value on or off and the -i for the index of the asset.

With me that is the index off the "Battery Warning Assert Filter "

i don't know if you can set all indexes at once, otherwise perhaps you can create a loop for it?

Something like this.

< for index in "1 2 3 4 5 6 ect"

do

racadm config -g cfgIpmiPef -o cfgIpmiPefEnable 1 -i $index

done  >
 

I hope this helps :-)

Thx for the reply.

I have tried the command on a brand new chassis and an older one to the same effect. ;).

Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Hey John,

If you run a command like " racadm getconfig -f config.txt" you will see in the config.txt all groups and their attributes. this should give you a clue of the possible syntax.

can you try that.

Thx Pete.

When I run this from my desktop using Putty against a remote Chassis the following comes up:

$ racadm getconfig -f config.txt
The specified option is not supported with the interface being used. It is only supported on the remote interface(s).
$

Hi John,

I used the command from a linux commandline, you did probalby from the racadm commandline.

i don't know if you have the possibility to do the previous command from a commandline?

Perhaps you can try this first:

racadm -r 1 -u -p getconfig -f config.txt

the output will be on the system you run it from.

i don't know if you can put all values in an text file from there but perhaps this works to find out all settings and then change them one at the time.

/admin1->racadm getconfig -g cfgIpmiPef -i1     (i2 i3 i4 ect)

then

/admin1-> racadm config -g cfgIpmiPef -i 1 -o cfgIpmiPefEnable 1

it's a long way arround but seems to work for me.

let me know if i can help any further ok.

goodluck

Peter
