Consider using https://github.com/ajeetraina/Dell-System-Monitoring.git as described http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2016/05/10/monitoring-dell-infrastructure-using-docker-containers-and-microservices

Notes

• This image is over 300 MB in size while the Dell software tarball is only about 60 MB

• Not sure how long the Dell download link will remain active. If wget fails, then you have to go to http://support.dell.com/ to find the current download link for Dell OpenManage Linux Remote Access Utilities,v8.2 or a later version if available

• CentOS openssl is actually version 1.0+ but API-compatible with version 0.9.8+ required by racadm5, hence the ln -f in the Dockerfile

Usage

• Either pull the image from Docker hub or build it locally like this:

docker build --rm -t testimg .

• Invoke racadm5 like so:

docker run testimg /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/racadm5 -r {server_name_or_ip} -u {idrac_user} -p {password} help
