Deploying Your Operating System Using iVMCLI
Command Line Options
The iVMCLI interface is identical on both Windows and Linux systems.
The utility uses options that are consistent with the RACADM utility
options. For example, an option to specify iDRAC6 IP address requires the
same syntax for both RACADM and iVMCLI utilities.
The iVMCLI command format is as follows:
iVMCLI [parameter] [operating_system_shell_options]
Command-line syntax is case sensitive. See "iVMCLI Parameters" for more
information.
If the remote system accepts the commands and iDRAC6 authorizes the
connection, the command continues to run until either of the following
occurs:
• The iVMCLI connection terminates for any reason.
• The process is manually terminated using an operating system control.
For example, in Windows, you can use the Task Manager to terminate
the process.
iVMCLI Parameters
iDRAC6 IP Address
-r
<iDRAC-IP-address>[:<iDRAC-SSL-port>]
This parameter provides iDRAC6 IP address and SSL port, which the utility
needs to establish a Virtual Media connection with the target iDRAC6. If you
enter an invalid IP address or DDNS name, an error message displays and the
command terminates.
< iDRAC-IP-address > is a valid, unique IP address or iDRAC6 Dynamic
Domain Naming System (DDNS) name (if supported). If < iDRAC-SSL-
port > is omitted, port 443 (the default port) is used. The optional SSL port is
not required unless you change iDRAC6 default SSL port.
iDRAC6 User Name
-u <iDRAC-user-name>
This parameter provides iDRAC6 user name that will run Virtual Media.
