SM-CLP "set" verb support in iDrac6
Feb 3 2010, 12:17 PM EST
Has anyone had any luck using the SM-CLP "set" verb on an iDRAC6 (Firmware v 1.30) to set the IP Address, Subnet Mask etc. for the DRAC?The documentation at: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/idrac/idrac10mono/en/ug/html/racugc1e.htm#wp46449 implies that this should be possible. Whilst other verbs seem to work OK e.g. show -d properties=IPv4Address system1/sp1/ipendpt1 returns the IPv4 address OK. However trying to: set system1/sp1/ipendpt1 IPv4Address=192.168.nn.nn Gives a command syntax error and doing a show -d verbs system1/sp1/ipendpt1 does not list "set" as a supported verb. Looks to me like "set" is not supported despite what the docs claim or am I using the wrong target? Help appreciated. Do you find this valuable?

I get the same thing when I try on a system in the lab with 1.3 FW. I've pinged some people on the back end to find out if there's any special privs - I'm using default root/calvin.I'll let you know what I find. Do you find this valuable? |

Should have said I'm connecting over SSH using plink with defined admin user and PPkey exchange: I always delete the default root /calvin admin. This should not make any difference regarding priveleges.

The SM-CLP syntax is .. a little convoluted, it took me a while (and far too many very abstract DMTF documents) to get a working assignment. To enable DHCP while connected to the iDRAC6 on an R410 (ssh, root, calvin), you need the 'object' you want to manage, on the R410 this turns out to be: /admin1-> show /admin1/system1/sp1/lanendpt1 properties ElementName = LAN Endpoint MACAddress = 0026B958D937 targets enetport1 The target is the actual ethernet port: /admin1-> show /admin1/system1/sp1/lanendpt1/enetport1 properties DeviceID = iDRAC ElementName = Ethernet Port NetworkAddresses[0] = 0026B958D937 after dumping the entire /admin1/ tree with show -l all /admin1 I found: /admin1-> show /admin1/system1/sp1/settings1/ipsettings1 elementsettingdata : ManagedElement = /admin1/system1/sp1/ipendpt1 SettingData = /admin1/system1/sp1/settings1/ipsettings1 targets dnssettings1 staticipsettings1 That looks like it manages the Object I want to change, but instead of settings1 I want: /admin1/system1/sp1/settings1/ipsettings2/dhcpsettings1 properties AddressOrigin = 4 (DHCP) ElementName = DHCP Setting Data So, assign the ipsettings2 to the ManagedElement with the SettingData: /admin1-> set /admin1/system1/sp1/ipendpt1=>ElementSettingData=>/admin1/system1/sp1/settings1/ipsettings2 IsCurrent=1 And yes.. DHCP is now Enabled. Almost too easy.. Do you find this valuable? |

It's probably also worth pointing out that it's still possible to get into racadm from the '/admin1->' SM-CLP prompt. This doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere but works on my R410s, # ssh root@192.168.0.120 /admin1-> racadm help serveraction serveraction -- perform system power management operations Do you find this valuable? |
