+* Get a copy of the {{{drac-stuff}}} directory in root's homedir on grieg,
+rautavaara etc.  It contains {{{racadm}}}, {{{racsvc}}} with needed
+dependencies.

+* Communications with the drac from the host goes over a serial device, which
+you need to serialsetup first: To do that run
+{{{
+       sh -x drac-stuff/etc/init.d/racsvc start
+}}}
+it will fail in a few places but it will figure out which ttySXX it is, and it
+will do a sersetup on it.
+
+* Start ravscv using
+{{{
+       LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/root/drac-stuff/usr/lib" drac-stuff/usr/sbin/racsvc  -d /dev/ttyS2
+}}}
+or whatever ttyS it is in this case.  It will need ia32-libs if you are on amd64.
+("File not found" tells you that.)
+
+* get the current config:
+{{{
+       # LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/root/drac-stuff/usr/lib" /root/drac-stuff/usr/sbin/racadm getconfig -p -f drac-config
+}}}
