After many failures downloading the updated OM_SMTD_730_A00.iso from the Dell Australia support site I managed to get it from the Dell US support site. Installing the full tools now allows me to query the server locally. Previously I was trying with OM SMTD 7.20. Thanks for your help.
Hello, We have a Dell PowerEdge 720XD with iDRAC 7 Enterprise. I can use the web interface on it to initialise/format/etc an 8GB SD card fine, however, am limited to uploading image sizes greater than 2GB and from my research I need to do this through the command line. I have installed the RAC Admin tools from the Open Manage Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD which provides racadm. Running racadm on this server returns the following error: IMPORTANT NOTE!The RAC is unable to communicate with the BMC. This condition mayoccur because of (1) no BMC is present, (2) missing or disfunctionalIPMI-related software components. Many RAC features depend on BMCconnectivity in order to work properly, and you may see failuresas a result. I can access the RAC fine remotely, however, wanted to do it locally. Installing the RAC Admin tools on a Dell PowerEdge T320, also with iDRAC 7 Enterprise, does not yield the same problem and works fine.  Any ideas what might be up with my PowerEdge 720XD? I guess next step is checking firmware is up to date? It was up to date when I installed the server about two months ago.
