IDrac Scripts for Dell clusters

• IDrac is a Dell specific remote management tool set alternative to ipmitool - see ClusterToolsIPMITOOL

Reset node using iDrac

• /cscf-adm/src/IiDrac/reset_node ilom-NODE - where NODE is lised in the table above

Apply iDrac License Keys to machines

• ./allnodes_apply_idrac_keys
  • Uses service_tags.txt for list of nodes - and to match the license file
    • Assumes license files are in current directory - see extract_keys

Setup boot drive on nodes himrod-1 .. 23

• ./allnodes_setup_boot_hd
  • Calls setup_boot_hd with node name

Setup disks on nodes himrod-1 .. 23

• ./allnodes_setup_disks
  • Calls setup_disks with node name

Setup node disks via iDRac

• ./setup_boot_hd nodename [-r]
  • nodename is like ilom-himrod-3
  • -r implies reset node

Update all nodes firmware

• ./allnodes_update_firmware
  • Uses service_tags.txt for list of nodes
  • Calls update_firmware

Update node firmware

• ./update_firmware nodename R620|R720xd
  • nodename is like ilom-himrod-3

Extract Dell license keys

• ./extract_keys
  • Extracts the License.zip file , then renames the license files so that the service tag for each node is part of the file name.
    • Example: DE00000040318201-1DF2DZ1.xml

List iDrac firmware versions for all nodes

• ./get_idrac_versions
  • Uses service_tags.txt for list of nodes

List node disks

• ./list_disks nodename
  • Lists iDrac disk and controller names on a node
  • nodename is like ilom-himrod-3

Reboot node into PXE - onceupdate_rip

• ./reboot_once_pxe nodename
  • nodename is like ilom-himrod-3

Reset node

• ./reset_node nodename
  • nodename is like ilom-himrod-3

Reset nodes

• ./reset-nodes
  • Resets all nodes except himrod-1 and storage nodes*

• /tftpboot/pxes/firmware/R620IDRAC/firmimg.d7
  • Firmare for R620 and R720xd - the happen to be the SAME image

IDrac ILOM network configurration examples

• • Set NIC to ILOM4
    • racadm config -g cfgLAnNetworking -o cfgNicSelection 5
  • Get NIC
    • racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicSelection
  • Static config
    • racadm setniccfg -s 172.19.128.254 255.255.255.0 172.19.128.1
  • Get NIC info - will list the ILOM and which interface it ties to
    • racadm getniccfg
  • Enable IPMI over lan
    • racadm config -g cfgIpmiLan -o cfgIpmiLanEnable 1
  • DHCP
    • racadm setniccfg -d

Idrac Firmware commands

* See update_firmware script - we flash update from the tftpboot server

• -p : upload firmware image from the client (RACADM)
• -g : use TFTP download process for firmware update (use with -u)
• -u : perform firmware update operation (used with -p and -g)
• -a : specifies TFTP server IP address used for firmware image (used with -g)
• -d : specifies source path where firmware image exists (default is local)
• -f : use FTP download process for firmware update
• -s : query for current firmware update process status
• -r : rollback to the standby firmware
• --clearcfg : after firmware update, removes the previous idrac configuration

Firmware update examples

* See update_firmware script - we flash update from the tftpboot server

• Upload a firmware image from the client and start firmware update:
  • racadm fwupdate -p -u -d /tmp/images
• Upload firmware image from FTP server and start firmware update:
  • racadm fwupdate -f 192.168.0.10 test test -d firmimg.d7
• Upload firmware image from TFTP server and start firmware update:
  • racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images
• Query the current status of the firmware update process:
  • racadm fwupdate -s
• Rollback to the standby firmware:
  • racadm fwupdate -r
• Upload firmware image from TFTP server, start firmware update. After firmware update is complete, delete previous iDRAC configuration:
  • racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images --clearcfg
