Trying to use the iDRAC racadm command to reset the login password for the iDRAC web gui.
So I installed OMSA (found this link http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/f/4469/t/19490204)
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash
yum install srvadmin-all
No issues with above.
PROBLEM:
root@server [~]# racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 2 "newpassword"
-bash: racadm: command not found
root@server [~]# rpm -q -a --requires srvadmin-all
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
srvadmin-base = 8.1.0
srvadmin-idrac = 8.1.0
srvadmin-oslog = 8.1.0
srvadmin-rac4 = 8.1.0
srvadmin-rac5 = 8.1.0
srvadmin-server-cli = 8.1.0
srvadmin-server-snmp = 8.1.0
srvadmin-standardAgent = 8.1.0
srvadmin-storageservices = 8.1.0
srvadmin-webserver = 8.1.0
EDIT: had to run "sh" like this, within the directory path. New error.
root@server [/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin]# sh racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 2 "newpassword"
ERROR: Failed to set the object value.
Possible reason may be that Local Configuration using RACADM is disabled.
===============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The RAC is unable to communicate with the BMC. This condition may
occur because of (1) no BMC is present, (2) missing or disfunctional
IPMI-related software components. Many RAC features depend on BMC
connectivity in order to work properly, and you may see failures
as a result.
UPDATE 8/25:
root@server [~]# racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 2 newpassword Object value modified successfully
UPDATE #2
root@server [~]# racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i 2
