The remote access controller (RAC) is a system component that provides a full set of system management capabilities. Server Administrator integrates the RAC features into its interface, allowing users to view and manage the controller from within Server Administrator and IT Assistant.

NOTE: Some features documented may not be available on your system's RAC. For example, dial-up modem use is supported only on DRAC III.

NOTE: The commands are available only on systems with DRAC III, DRAC III/XT, ERA, and ERA/O (not for systems with DRAC 4).

The omreport rac command enables Server Administrator to display reports on RAC components.

Conventions for Parameter Tables

Parameter tables list input parameters for a command in the order in which they appear in the command line interface. In "omreport rac: Viewing Remote Access Controller Components," the parameters are listed in the order in which you must configure them.

The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means that you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature.

omreport rac Command Summary

NOTE: Although this section lists all possible omreport rac commands, the commands available on your system depend on your system configuration. If you try to get help or execute a command for a component that is not installed on your system, Server Administrator issues a message that the component or feature is not "found on this system."

Table 8-1 is a high-level summary of the omreport rac command. The column titled "Command level 3" lists the major arguments that can be used with omreport rac. "User privilege required" refers to the type of privilege you need to perform the command, where U=User, P=Power User, and A=Administrator. "Use" is a very general statement about the actions that can be performed using the omreport rac command. More details about syntax and use of the command appear later in this section.

Help With the omreport rac Command

Use the omreport rac -? command to get a list of the available commands for omreport rac.

omreport rac authentication

Use the omreport rac authentication command to determine whether local operating system authentication of users is enabled or disabled for the RAC.

The RAC has two methods of authenticating user access: RAC authentication and local operating system authentication. RAC authentication is always enabled. Administrators can set up specific user accounts and passwords that allow access to the RAC.

Operating systems also require administrators to define different levels of users and user accounts; each user level has different privileges. Local operating system authentication on the RAC is an option for administrators who do not want to define one set of privileges for users in the operating system and a separate set of users and accounts for the RAC. If you enable local operating system authentication for the RAC, you enable any user with Administrator status on the operating system to log into the RAC.

Example Command for omreport rac authentication

When you type:

omreport rac authentication

the results that display show whether authentication of users for access to the RAC using the operating system user access definitions is disabled or enabled. For example:

omreport rac authentication

localauthenable=true
