Information for all the storage devices connected to the system are not displayed and OpenManage Storage
Management displays more storage devices that iDRAC7. Why?
iDRAC7 displays information for only the Comprehensive Embedded Management (CEM) supported devices.

RACADM

After performing an iDRAC7 reset (using the racadm racreset command), if any command is issued, the following
message is displayed. What does this indicate?
ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified IP address
The message indicates that you must wait until the iDRAC7 completes the reset before issuing another command.
When using RACADM commands and subcommands, some errors are not clear.
You may see one or more of the following errors when using the RACADM commands and subcommands:
• Local RACADM error messages — Problems such as syntax, typographical errors, and incorrect names.
• Remote RACADM error messages — Problems such as incorrect IP Address, incorrect user name, or incorrect
password.
During a ping test to iDRAC7, if the network mode is switched between Dedicated and Shared modes, there is no ping
response.
Clear the ARP table on your system.
Remote RACADM fails to connect to iDRAC7 from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1.
Make sure that the official openssl and libopenssl versions are installed. Run the following command to install the RPM
packages:
rpm -ivh --force < filename >
where,filename is the openssl or libopenssl rpm package file.
For example:
rpm -ivh --force openssl-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh --force libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8h-30.22.21.1.x86_64.rpm
Why are the remote RACADM and Web-based services unavailable after a property change?
It may take a while for the remote RACADM services and the Web-based interface to become available after the iDRAC7
Web server resets.
The iDRAC7 Web server is reset when:
• The network configuration or network security properties are changed using the iDRAC7 Web user interface.
• The cfgRacTuneHttpsPort property is changed (including when a config -f (config file)changes it).
• The racresetcfg command is used.
• iDRAC7 is reset.
• A new SSL server certificate is uploaded.
Why is an error message displayed if you try to delete a partition after creating it using local RACADM?
