Users Guide

For example:

# This is a comment

[cfgUserAdmin]

cfgUserAdminPageModemInitString= <Modem init # not

a comment>

• All group entries must be surrounded by open- and close-brackets ([ and ]).

The starting [ character that denotes a group name must be in column one. This group name must be

specified before any of the objects in that group. Objects that do not include an associated group

name generate an error. The configuration data is organized into groups as defined in the database

property chapter of the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC and CMC. The following

example displays a group name, object, and the object’s property value:

[cfgLanNetworking] -{group name}

cfgNicIpAddress=143.154.133.121 {object name}

{object value}

• All parameters are specified as "object=value" pairs with no white space between the object, =, or

value. White spaces that are included after the value are ignored. A white space inside a value string

remains unmodified. Any character to the right of the = (for example, a second =, a #, [, ], and so on)

is taken as-is. These characters are valid modem chat script characters.

[cfgLanNetworking] -{group name}

cfgNicIpAddress=143.154.133.121 {object value}

• The .cfg parser ignores an index object entry.

You cannot specify which index is used. If the index already exists, it is either used or the new entry is

created in the first available index for that group.

The racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg command places a comment in front of index

objects, allowing you to see the included comments.

NOTE: You may create an indexed group manually using the following command:

racadm config -g <groupname> -o <anchored object> -i <index 1-16>

• The line for an indexed group cannot be deleted from a .cfg file. If you do delete the line with a text

editor, RACADM stops when it parses the configuration file and alert you of the error.

You must remove an indexed object manually using the following command:

racadm config -g <groupname> -o <objectname> -i <index 1-16> ""

NOTE: A NULL string (identified by two " characters) directs the CMC to delete the index for the

specified group.

To view the contents of an indexed group, run the following command:

racadm getconfig -g <groupname> -i <index 1-16>

• For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the [ ] pair. The following are

examples of the current indexed groups:

[cfgUserAdmin]

cfgUserAdminUserName= <USER_NAME>

• When using remote RACADM to capture the configuration groups into a file, if a key property within a

group is not set, the configuration group is not saved as part of the configuration file. If these

configuration groups are needed to be cloned onto other CMCs, the key property must be set before

executing the getconfig -f command. Alternatively, you can manually enter the missing properties

into the configuration file after running the getconfig -f command. This is true for all the

RACADM–indexed groups.
