# Install racadm on CentOS for Dell iDRAC

## 1. Install

Disable the Citrix repository and start the installation:

```

mv /etc/yum.repos.d/Citrix.repo /root/Citrix.repo

yum clean all

wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/Linux_Repository_14.12.00/bootstrap.cgi | bash

yum --enablerepo=base install srvadmin-all 

```

If you get some error messages try:

```

yum install compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686 zlib.i686

```

You can reactivate the Citrix repository after the installation:

```

mv /root/Citrix.repo /etc/yum.repos.d

```

## 2. Firewall changes

For webinterface and SNMP access you have to change the firewall settings on your XenServer.

Edit “/etc/sysconfig/iptables” and insert:

```

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m conntrack –ctstate NEW -m udp -p udp –dport 161 -j ACCEPT

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m conntrack –ctstate NEW -m tcp -p tcp –dport 1311 -j ACCEPT

```

#Important !!! Add this lines before:

```

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT –reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

COMMIT

```

so nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables

## 3. Restart the services

```

service iptables restart

/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh start

```

## 4. Access the web-interface

To access the web-interface open your browser (IE, Firefox or Safari, chrome doesn’t work) and go to:

https://172.27.250.3:1311/

You can now login with your XenServer root login and password.
