Similar to Local RACADM , after you enter the RACADM prompt, directly run the commands without the RACADM prefix. Remote Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop.

8 You must install the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run Remote RACADM commands. To execute Remote RACADM commands, you must formulate the Command like a Local or SSH/Telnet RACADM Command except that you must also use the r i options or the r u p options.
