ESXi上からracadmコマンドを使ってiDRACの情報を拾う
質問を受けたので手元の環境で試した時の備忘録。
ESXiのバージョンは8.0u2
iDRACのFirmwareバージョンは6.10
ESXiがiDRACポートとOS内部から通信できるようにするため、iDRAC Service Moduleをダウンロードしてインストールする
ESXiからracadmコマンドを実行できるようにiDRAC Toolをダウンロードしてインストールする
1及び2で取得したファイルをESXi上のデータストアに保管
ESXiにsshでログイン
試しにracadmコマンドを打ってみる。racadmはインストールしていないのでracadmコマンドが見つからない。
[root@ESX:~] racadm getsysinfo
-sh: racadm: not found3でアップロードしたファイルを確認する
[root@ESX:~] cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore/tmp/
[root@ESX:/vmfs/volumes/5cade42b-c8b3dfpe-e2eb-2f6e396a0730/tmp] ls

ISM-Dell-Web-5.4.0.0-3644.VIB-ESX8i-Live_A00.zipiDRAC Toolをインストールする

これでESX上のUSB NICが構成されてIP(169.254.1.2/24)が付与される。ここからiDRACに内部インターフェース(169.254.1.1/24)経由でアクセスできるようになる
