Ideal way to deploy SSL to blades/chassis

  • 772

I have about 14 Dell M1000e chassis and corresponding 224 blades. I just received a wildcard SSL cert, but don't want to manually visit each administrative page to upload the cert/key. I understand the racadm command can do this for me, but the documentation falls a bit short. Is anyone willing to help me out a bit? I do not have any of the tools available from Dell installed on my workstation or servers, but have access to them if needed.

    The set of racadm commands that you need is sslkeyupload and sslcertupload. On a Dell M1000e these should be run using the idracadm tool (the ssh interface does not allow you to upload files). On other Dell servers you would have to use the tool corresponding to the (iD)RAC version, i.e. racadm4, racadm5, idracadm, or idracadm7.

    Something like idracadm sslkeyupload -t 1 -f path/to/key.pem and idracadm sslcertupload -t 1 -f path/to/wildcard-cert.pem should do the trick for you.

    The iDRAC documentation has more information about these commands.
