The DRAC 4 property database contains the configuration information for the DRAC 4. Data is organized by associated object, and objects are organized by object group. The IDs for the groups and objects that the property database supports are listed in this section.
Use the group and object IDs with the racadm utility to configure the DRAC 4. The following sections describe each object and indicate whether the object is readable, writable, or both.
This group contains display parameters to provide information about the specifics of the DRAC 4 being queried.
One instance of the group is allowed. The following subsections describe the objects in this group.
String of up to 63 ASCII characters.

The DRAC 4 alert filter operates according to the following general steps:
If this object's property values is TRUE, it scans the event masks in the User table.
The following subsections describe the event masks for DRAC 4-generated events and managed-system-generated events defined in the User table and the Trap table.

The cfgTraps cfgTrapsFilter {Rac, Sys} EventMask properties are an unsigned 32-bit integer property that holds the filter information for managed-system generated events. The bit definitions in Table B-4 apply.

You can test alerts using test commands. The racadm command has subcommands that test the different types of alert interfaces. These object ID sets cause the firmware to execute the subcommand with the option that indicates the test alert type to test. The test message is preset in properties for each test alert type. The types of alerts are email and trap.
The following subsection describes the command interfaces and the operation of the subcommand for each option.
