NOTICE: Configure the IP address on your DRAC 4 before using the racadm remote capability. For more

The racadm CLI provides a remote capability option (-r) that allows you to connect to the managed
system and execute racadm subcommands from a remote console or management station.
To
use the remote capability, you need a valid user name (-u option) and password (-p option),
and the IP address of the managed system.
NOTE: The racadm remote capability is supported only on management stations running Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Serverâ„¢ 2003, and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux operating systems.
