Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 81

Modify the configuration file using a plain-text editor (optional). Any

formatting in the configuration file may corrupt the RACADM database.

Use the newly created configuration file to modify a target CMC.

At the command prompt, type:

racadm config -f myfile.cfg

Reset the target CMC that was configured. At the command prompt, type:

racadm reset

The getconfig -f myfile.cfg subcommand (step 1) requests the CMC

configuration for the primary CMC and generates the myfile.cfg file. If

required, you can rename the file or save it to a different location.

You can use the getconfig command to perform the following actions:

• Display all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name

and index)

• Display all configuration properties for a user by user name

The config subcommand loads the information into other CMCs. The Server

Administrator uses the config command to synchronize the user and

password database.

Creating a CMC Configuration File

The CMC configuration file, <filename>.cfg, is used with the racadm

config -f <filename>.cfg command to create a simple text file. The

command allows you to build a configuration file (similar to an .ini file) and

configure the CMC from this file.

You may use any file name, and the file does not require a .cfg extension

(although it is referred to by that designation in this subsection).

NOTE: For more information about the getconfig subcommand, see "getconfig" on

page 299.

RACADM parses the .cfg when it is first loaded onto the CMC to verify that

valid group and object names are present and that some simple syntax rules

are being followed. Errors are flagged with the line number that detected the

error, and a message explains the problem. The entire file is parsed for
