Frequently Asked Questions About RACADM Error Messages

After performing an iDRAC6 reset (using the racadm racreset command),
I issue a command and the following message is displayed:
ERROR: Unable to connect to RAC at specified
IP address
What does this message mean?
You must wait until the iDRAC6 completes the reset before issuing
another command.
When I use the racadm commands and subcommands, I get errors that
I don't understand.
You may encounter one or more of the following errors when using the
commands and subcommands:
RACADM
• Local
RACADM
errors, and incorrect names.
• Remote
RACADM
incorrect username, or incorrect password.
When I ping the iDRAC6 IP address from my system and then switch my
iDRAC6 between Dedicated and Shared modes during the ping response,
I do not receive a response.
Clear the ARP table on your system.
