000027212 - RSA SecurID Appliance 3.0 Model 250 - How to configure the DRAC

DRAC is the Dell Remote Access Card. The following details provide guidance on enabling the Appliance DRAC, network configuration , root password, and basic User
This guidance is provided WITHOUT support from RSA. Support of DRAC is under consideration for future release but has been known to work.

Run the following commands from
/usr/sbin

Set DRAC network configuration

./racadm setniccfg ?s <IP_address> <subnet_mask> <gateway>

Example

./racadm setniccfg ?s 10.100.88.48  255.255.255.0  10.100.88.1

Change DRAC root password

./racadm config ?g cfgUserAdmin ?o cfgUserAdminPassword ?i 2 <new_password>

Example
./racadm config ?g cfgUserAdmin ?o cfgUserAdminPassword ?i  2   123abc

Add DRAC user

./racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName -i <index> <username>

./racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i <index> <password>

./racadm config ?g cfgUserAdmin ?o cfgUserAdminEnable 1 ?i <index>

./racadm config ?g cfgUserAdmin ?o cfgUserAdminPrivilege <privilege_bit_mask>

Example, where <index> is a number from 1-16.  Index 2 is used by the root user.

./racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName -i 3 johnadmin

./racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 3 123456

./racadm config ?g cfgUserAdmin ?o cfgUserAdminEnable 1 ?i 3

./racadm config ?g cfgUserAdmin ?o cfgUserAdminPrivilege 0x000001FF ?I 3  

To find out if a user exists, enter the following command at the command prompt, once for each index of 1?16.

 ./racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>

The two objects of interest are:

 # cfgUserAdminIndex=XX

cfgUserAdminUserName=

If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number, which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use. If a name appears after the "=", that index is taken by that user name

Deleting DRAC user

./racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName -i <index> ""

Example
./racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminUserName -i 3 ""

The user privilege bit mask is made is up the privileges which are assigned to the user, as detailed in the table below:

Privilege bit masks should be added to allow multiple user privileges.
