How to Export Configuration Settin
gs
Retrieve and Export the .ini File
Summary of the procedure
An Administrator can retrieve the .ini file of one Rack PDU and export it to another Rack
PDU or to multiple Rack PDUs.
1. Configure the Rack PDU to have the settings you want to export.
2. Retrieve the .ini file from that Rack PDU.
3. Customize the .ini file (to change at least the TCP/IP settings) and make a copy to
export.
4. Use any of the file transfer protocols supported by the Rack PDU to transfer the
copied file to one or more additional Rack PDUs. (To transfer the file to multiple
Rack PDUs simultaneously, write an FTP or SCP script that repeats the steps for
transferring the file to a single Rack PDU.)
Each receiving Rack PDU uses the file to reconfigure its own settings and then deletes
it.
