Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone had a script that I could use to change the DRAC password on multiple servers... I was hoping that I could point the script to a server list (which I have) instead of visiting each server manually to apply the change. I have ERA, DRAC4/I, DRAC4/P and DRAC5 devices in my environment. I also have some RedHat enterprise 4 servers as well (DRAC5 only) but don’t yet know the command line options for this…

I was also wondering if this could be setup as a task within IT Assistant?? I have no idea if this is possible…. but it would make it much easier to comply with our password rotation policy…

I know the following commands are used to change the password… not sure about the ERA (2650servers) devices though…

For DRAC 4 - As root on the host run the following racadm command:

racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 1 "password"


For DRAC 5 - As root on the host run the following racadm command (notice its index 2 for DRAC 5):

racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 2 "password"

Any comments/help would be greatly appreciated as I have about 130 (Windows) and 6 Redhat servers to change….

Thanks,
Stuart.
